Percolater
''Percolater'' is the fourth studio album by the American punk rock band All, released May 12, 1992 through Cruz Records. It was the band's first album recorded after their relocation from Los Angeles to Brookfield, Missouri, and their first studio release recorded outside of California. It was also their last album with singer Scott Reynolds, who left the band after the album's supporting tours. A single and music video were released for the song "Dot".
== Background ==
For several years, All and their precursor band, the Descendents, had been headquartered in a storefront along the Pacific Coast Highway in Lomita, California that housed the band's living quarters, practice space, and office.〔''Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All''. Event occurs at 35:37.〕 "We really needed (band ) to succeed", recalled singer Scott Reynolds. "We were broke and filthy and we lived like animals."〔''Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All''. Event occurs at 49:20.〕 The band paid per month for the small two-room space and had to deal with loud, drunken neighbors. Being on tour some eight months out of each year, the band members decided it was no longer practical to live there.〔〔 "I just said 'I can't do this anymore, remarked drummer Bill Stevenson "The area we were in became infested with other groups that were more interested in smoking dope and drinking and all that. It became a party center, which I just can't stand."〔 Stevenson's father, who lived in California, owned a house in his hometown of Brookfield, Missouri—a farming town with a population of about 3,500—which he rented out, and offered to rent it to the band for $350 per month.〔 In addition to the lower cost of living, the band also reasoned that being based in the central United States rather than on the west coast might be advantageous to their frequent touring schedule.〔
The band members made the move to Missouri immediately following the March 1990 recording of ''Allroy Saves'' (1990) and ''New Girl, Old Story'' (1991).〔 "We can't afford to live in L.A.", said Stevenson days before the relocation. "I've been living under my desk for nine years. The last time I had a bedroom was in early high school."〔 "That was a financial necessity", recalled bassist Karl Alvarez, "because L.A., at the level of poverty we were at, was not that easy of a place to be. We were living in a practice space, for crying out loud () Bear in mind all this while that our fortunes rose and fell together. We were all living in the same place. Kind of like The Monkees on the TV show, only with more dirt and smell."〔 Their new house was large enough to accommodate all four band members, their roadies Daniel "Bug" Snow and Curtis, and Stevenson's girlfriend of several years, Sarina Matteucci, who sold the band's merchandise through mail order and while on tour.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=''Threatening Society'' )〕 "We had to move, or it would have caused the band to break up", said Stevenson. "So now we all have our own rooms, and we have a decent office to run the bookings and everything to keep it all going smoothly. We have a kitchen and things like that which we never had before. We're paying one-fourth the rent we were paying in L.A."〔 "To have your own room, that in itself is just 'Wow, this is rad!', said guitarist Stephen Egerton, "Where I guess a lot of people my age would sort of be wanting to have a house."〔 "The only disadvantage is that there's not really anything going on culturally or socially—nothing", said Stevenson, "But were not interested in disturbing these people's quiet existence. We're more interested in something of that nature ourselves."〔
