All Scratched Up
''All Scratched Up!'' is the fourth album by Down by Law, released in 1996. The band supported the album by touring with labelmates Millencolin. Vinyl versions of the album were released as a double album, with Side D consisting of vinyl-only bonus tracks. Three songs on the album ("True Believers", "Post Office Lament", and "True Music", one per vinyl side) end with different performances of a short song called "Counting Crows Must Die", with Side D ending in seven different versions of the song. Critical reception The ''Chicago Tribune'' wrote that Down by Law "blends punk and pop with knowing ease but without a whole lot of flair." ''The Bradenton Herald'' determined that "musically, 'Radio Ragga' (a melancholy reggae number) and 'Far And Away' (the catchy melody switches motifs to rolling drums and stretched guitar sounds a la The Who, then back again) are most interesting." ''The Tampa Tribune'' thought that "the band dabbles in dime-store punk and tuneless wonk with limited ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allroy Sez
''Allroy Sez'' is the debut album by the American punk rock band All, released in March 1988 through Cruz Records. Following the departure of singer Milo Aukerman from the Descendents, the remaining members—bassist Karl Alvarez, guitarist Stephen Egerton, and drummer Bill Stevenson—recruited singer Dave Smalley and changed the name of the band to All, which was both the title of the Descendents' 1987 album and a philosophical concept invented by Stevenson and friend Pat McCuistion in 1980. ''Allroy Sez'' introduced the character of Allroy, who would serve as a mascot for the band and be featured on many of their subsequent album covers. Background The concept of "All" was invented by Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson and his friend Pat McCuistion during a fishing trip on Stevenson's boat ''Orca'' in 1980. According to Descendents singer Milo Aukerman, "While drinking all this coffee in the midst of catching mackerel they came up with the concept of All: doing the utmo ...
