TonyALL or Nothing


From the TonyALL liner notes:
The songs on this recording were written and arranged by Tony Lombardo between 1979 and 1989. Tony was the original bass player for the Descendents, who in 1987, changed their name to ALL. The members of ALL appear on the recording as Tony's band.
Sure, Tony pioneered a bass style that punk-pop low-enders would emulate forever but this "showcase" album sucked. A few tracks emerge -- like "Casual Girl" and "At the Party" -- that might have fit on "I Don't Want to Grow Up" or "All" (the album) but then something truly awful like "Special to Me" makes you cringe more than a million teen love stalker stories.

"Casual Girl" and "Special To Me"
