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 utmost, achieving the utmost. The more they got into it the more it turned into their own religion. It's partly humor, but it's also an outlook on how to conduct your life: to not settle for some, to always go for All."〔 The concept became the title and theme of the Descendents' 1987 album ''All'', which included the songs "All", "No, All!", and "All-O-Gistics" co-written by Stevenson and McCuistion.〔 Stevenson elaborated on the philosophy:
I'm really into "ALL" and I've waited a long time to unleash the whole concept on people. And now I'm going to do it () It's just a way of thinking, in which there are extremes and there is this goal called "ALL". It's a way that I created in dealing with achievement and satisfaction and how the two relate. Basically just to avoid stagnation... going for "ALL" and never being satisfied and just wallowing in your own sameness.
Aukerman left the Descendents after their summer 1987 "FinALL" tour to pursue a graduate degree in microbiology.〔 With his departure announced in advance, Stevenson took the opportunity to relaunch the band afresh under the name All with singer Dave Smalley, meaning for the new band to be the complete fulfillment of the "All" concept.〔 "I've been wanting to change the name of the band to ALL for eight years", he said during the FinALL tour, adding that he had wanted to work with Smalley for some time but that it would not feel right to continue as the Descendents without Aukerman, and that he wished to shelve the name in case he and Aukerman should wish to use it again at some point.〔 "I think Billy didn't push so hard to become 'new Descendents, recalled friend of the band Mike Watt, "I think he wanted All to be, actually, a new band. I know it was Billy now in charge totally. He wanted to try this thing where everything was very focused and nothing is derivative."〔Restaurant ), we ate at Alfredo's, and we fucking practiced. I'd been in the plane for thirty million hours...Alfredo's, practice, go!"
