All first saw singer Dave Smalley in some of the earlier albums such as 'Allroy Sez' and 'Allroy For Prez'. Smalley later gave way to singer Scott Reynolds who appeared on the albums 'Allroy's Revenge', 'Trailblazer', 'Allroy Saves', and 'Percolator'. The 'New Girl, Old Story' album in 1991 saw All credited as TonyALL and featured their old Descendents bandmate Tony Lombardo on vocals.
Once Scott moved on, current singer Chad Price stepped in. Price has spent some time in the studio with All as well on such albums as 'Breaking Things', 'Pummel', 'Mass Nerder', 'Problematic', and the live album 'Live Plus One'.
Although All is mostly made up of members of the Descendents, and most of the songs are written by the same people in both bands, few can deny that ALL has its own distinct sound while still letting the Descendents bleed through."
2) All is an alias of Wolfgang Voigt who specializes in ambient and a concept between M:I:5 and Gas
Simple Things
All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to All's song Simple Things depict the struggles of a person who has been through a difficult life. They grew up in a broken home and had to face the harsh realities of life at a very young age. Their father left when they were 14 and only took the best things, leaving them with the simple things that were easily accessible. The idea of simple things is not only presented as something that is easy to obtain but also related to the addiction of drugs, which the person has tried as an escape route from their pain. However, even the drugs do not change their mind about the simple things in life. The lyrics are trying to suggest that once someone has been exposed to a certain level of exploitation, they tend to lower their expectations in life and any small act of kindness or simplicity seems like a great gift.
The lyrics further delve into the idea of how difficult life can be when there is no voice or choice. The person struggles to find a job that could help them make ends meet and also avoid the atomic tide, which is a reference to some kind of environmental calamity. The simple things that the person has learned to rely on become important when these environmental and social factors become a problem. They come back to the idea that, even when the good or more valuable things in life are not free, the simple things always come easy.
