Ep. 311: Joel Reader discusses The Plus Ones “All the Boys”
About this episode
Joel Reader discusses the formation of The Plus Ones and the story behind their song 'All the Boys'.
Emerging as a sort of supergroup of Bay Area punk rockers in the early 2000s, The Plus Ones wrote catchy songs that weren’t overthought by any means. After a four album stint in The Mr. T Experience, bassist Joel Reader formed the group, and one of the first songs he brought to the table was “All the Boys,” a fictional look at what playing at The Troubadour might be like for a stereotypical rock n’ roller. To the band’s surprise, they later received a call from Asian Man Records owner Mike Park informing them that the track was going to be used on a popular network TV show. In this episode, Joel discusses the writing and recording of the song, as well as the vivid memory of experiencing their music through a scripted television teen drama.
