The band, All the Rest, is something like you've never heard before.

 

Countless times when hearing new music on the radio these days, we are hearing a copycat generation of minutia and regurgitated mess. But, then a friend of Local Big Time turned us onto this band with a new sound called, All the Rest. And we weren't disappointed.

 

All the Rest, is a group out of Senoia, Georgia. The band has been together about four years now and recently have been busy traveling and playing hundreds of shows around the country. Shredding on guitar and vocals you have,  Caleb Smith and Baylee Waller. Bringing the heavy beat on bass and vocals we have Tre Housman; and on drums playing to our inner warrior is Jud Harris.

 

They have just put out their new single "Black Plague." Black Plague makes a statement to the rest of the bands coming up through the ranks right now that All the Rest means business. This song could be an Album's Franchise Song, its a song you could build an entire record around. Black Plague, to this reviewer, feels like the soul of Iggy Pop's Real Wild Child, with the musical mix of Metallica's Fade to Black and The White Stripes' Icky Thump. Black Plague makes me want to go see a rock show in dive bar, get into a fight with some locals, and get crazy with the hometown crew! Its not only got legs, its got balls too. I'd bet anybody money, that we will not only see this band make it huge, but we will be hearing their music on television shows, commercials and big movie scenes. Their music straight up belongs in the Suicide Squad 2.

 

If you are in the Georgia area, their next show will be at The Vinyl in Atlanta on April 27th.

 

Local Big Time had the privilege to interview All the Rest:

 

 

 

1. Your sound is a mix of Rock and Roll and Punk music, what about those two genres intrigue you?

All The Rest: We wouldn't say our music sounds punk, however we draw inspiration from the 80’s post punk era of music. It isn't just the music in this era that inspires us, but the rebellious movement and new breakthrough sounds that intrigue us. As far as Rock n' Roll goes, who doesn't love it? Everything about the Rock n' Roll vibe and lifestyle is intriguing.

 

2. What kind of topics is your band interested in when exploring lyrically?

 

All The Rest: Girls, being young and broke, our mad generation, and feeling helpless. We tend to feed off of the lowest points in our lives.

 

 

 

3. Where does the "Angst" come from in your newly released single "Black Plague?"

 

All The Rest: There is a bit of angst in every break up. So, essentially, that's what the song is about.

4. Your single "Black Plague" has that old-western-bar-fight-shootout feel, do you see your music being in television shows and movies?
 

All The Rest: Most definitely.

 

5. What can the fans expect next from the music of "All the Rest?"
 

All The Rest: A lot more music, shows, and good times.
