Stephen Egerton of the Descendents talked with the local Tulsa paper:
Somewhere in the mid-90s, All — which is the same band as the Descendents but with a different singer — were playing a little festival in Phoenix, as I recall, and these two young guys come running up to me and they’re just really hyper. They said, “Wow, you guys are our favorite band. We started a band just because of you guys.” I thought they were really funny guys. I watched their set, and they were very charismatic. So, I hit it off with Tom (DeLonge) and Mark (Hoppus) immediately.
