All Out War

In the summer of 1990, the first incarnation of All Out War began - as a concept and not really a band. In those early days the members were hanging out together rather than rehearsing as a band. The founding members were Mike Score (vocals), Chris Bozeth (guitar), Sam Carbone (bass), and Tom Connelly (drums). Later that summer Chris joined the Navy and Jim Antonelli joined on guitar, Sam Carbone also transitioned to guitar and "some kid named Jon" (nickname Skippy, but the band didn't learn his last name) was recruited to play bass. The name All Out War came about in the fall of 1991, the band finished some songs and finally played their first show in December 1991. Chris Chisholm and Eric Carrillo were in the crowd during that show and both of them joined the band afterwards as Jon and Sam left. All Out War broke up officially for the first time in 2001 due to "drummer problems" when Matt Byrne joined Hatebreed, but resurfaced in January 2003. In 2004 the band announced that they had officially broken up again due to the inability of vocalist Mike Score to continue with the band as a result of events in his personal life, in addition to his career as a high school history teacher. The remaining members have formed a new band called Nerve Gas Tragedy. However, All Out War reunited again in 2006. Compilation appearances: - "Claim Your Innocence" on Hits Underground II (1999) - "Resist" on From Hell ( This Dark Reign Recordings , 2002)
