The discography of All, an American punk rock band, consists of nine studio albums, one compilation album, two live albums, one EP, six singles, and five music videos.
All formed in Los Angeles in 1987 following the departure of singer Milo Aukerman from the Descendents. The remaining Descendents members—guitarist Stephen Egerton, bassist Karl Alvarez, and drummer Bill Stevenson—decided to carry on as a band, adopting the title of the Descendents' last studio album, All, as their new name and recruiting singer Dave Smalley. They released the album Allroy Sez and EP Allroy for Prez in 1988 through Cruz Records, the former supported by a single for "Just Perfect". Smalley then left the band and was replaced by Scott Reynolds. Allroy's Revenge was released in 1989, with "She's My Ex" as the album's single. Two more albums followed in 1990: the live album Trailblazer and studio effort Allroy Saves. All also collaborated with former Descendents bassist Tony Lombardo on the album New Girl, Old Story (1991), credited to "TonyAll".
The band relocated to Brookfield, Missouri and issued 1992's Percolater, supported by a single for "Dot". It was their last album with Reynolds; he was replaced by Chad Price for 1993's Breaking Things, which was supported by the singles "Shreen" and "Guilty". All left Cruz Records in favor of major label Interscope and relocated to Fort Collins, Colorado, opening their own recording studio, The Blasting Room, where all subsequent All and Descendents albums have been recorded. Pummel was released in 1995, but the band was dissatisfied with Interscope and soon left the label.
Aukerman, who had contributed occasional songwriting and backing vocals to All since his departure from the Descendents, then decided to return to music. The members decided to operate simultaneously as two bands, performing with Aukerman as the Descendents and with Price as All. Both bands signed to Epitaph Records, with the Descendents releasing Everything Sucks in 1996 and All releasing Mass Nerder in 1998. They also launched their own label, Owned & Operated Recordings, through which they released the compilation album All in 1999, consisting of remixed versions of songs from their previous albums including contributions from all three All singers as well as Aukerman. 2000 saw the release of Problematic, followed in 2001 by Live Plus One, a double live album with one disc by All and the other by the Descendents. Live Plus One became All's only release to chart, reaching #45 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart. All has since performed occasional live dates but has not released any new recordings.
