This week we’re discussing every album by NoMeansNo. Made up of core members and brothers Rob and John Wright, NoMeansNo helped pioneer math rock and post-hardcore, in addition to being possibly the only actual prog punk band ever. Their songwriting, arrangements, and performances were nothing short of legendary and decades ahead of their time. You guys wanted this episode, so get ready.

This week we discuss the speedy and technical ALL. This band was formed by members of the Descendants after singer Milo Aukerman left to pursue a career in biochemistry. While ALL has had a revolving door of vocalists over the years, the core 3 members, Bill Stevenson (of Black Flag), Karl Alvarez, and Stephen Egerton remained constant. ALL’s early material is wacky, technical, and legitimately proggy, however they became full blown pop punk by the mid 90s. Good stuff, but not if you hate pop punk.
Closing track: “Fool” from Allroy’s Revenge (1989)
