Descendents: ALL & Liveage!

Coming August 14th, Descendents' ALL and Liveage! will be receiving reissues as part of our collaboration with the band to reclaim their masters after four decades.

ALL is the fourth studio album from the Southern California punks. Released in 1987, the record marked the introduction of both bassist Karl Alvarez and guitarist Stephen Egerton, whose arrival brought fresh melodic ideas and more complex instrumentation to the band through their democratic songwriting process. The album takes its title from the concept of “All” (achieving the “total extent”), coined by Bill Stevenson and his friend Pat McCuistion. ALL would prove to be the final studio album of the band’s original run, and its title would carry forward as the name of the group’s next chapter without singer Milo Aukerman. It will be the final album in our campaign to receive the "Punk Note" treatment, featuring alternate packaging by John Yates (Stealworks).

Liveage! captures Descendents live in 1987 at Minneapolis’ First Avenue during the tour for ALL. Dubbed the “FinALL” Tour, it was the last set of dates before the group disbanded so that vocalist Milo Aukerman could pursue a graduate degree in biochemistry. Per drummer Bill Stevenson, the release served as a sort of best-of compilation and document of their raw, high energy live show. It features hallmark tracks such as “I’m Not a Loser,” “Silly Girl,” and “Coolidge,” among others.  

These two releases are both available for preorder now, complete with partner exclusive vinyl pressings listed below.
