Judge Nothing is a 1990's pop punk group from Alton, Illinois. The band enjoyed a successful run throughout the mid '90s signing with Chicago-based indie label Thick Records in 1995. They released two albums with Thick Records, "I'm a Big Girl Now" and "Riveter" in 1995 and 1996 respectively. This was sandwiched between constant touring in a "hot smelly van with pink shag carpet" at nearly every sticky-floored club and dive in the country. Judge Nothing's brand of pop songs wrapped in a punk package attracted a loyal following in the St. Louis area and beyond and earned them the title of "the badfinger of punk." 


ALL is a melodic punk band formed by members of the Descendents after the departure of their lead singer Milo Aukerman in 1987.
Also see Tony All, which features former Descendents member Tony Lombardo with ALL.

The instrumental lineup of ALL has remained constant since the recording of the Descendents' album titled "All", consisting of guitarist Stephen Egerton, bassist Karl Alvarez, and drummer Bill Stevenson. Stevenson is the only original member of the Descendents, and he also spent time in Black Flag.

ALL's first two albums, "Allroy For Prez" (1988) and "Allroy Sez ....." (1988) were recorded with vocalist Dave Smalley, formerly of DYS and Dag Nasty. Scott Reynolds then took over vocals until being replaced by current singer Chad Price beginning with the 1993 album "Breaking Things".

ALL joined major label Interscope Records for 1995's "Pummel" but disputes over marketing and promotion of the album resulted in a swift departure from the label. "Mass Nerder" (1998) was their first release for Epitaph, with which they are no longer under contract.
