History
Against All Will was formed in 2007 by Jimmy Allen who spent several years writing for bands and working on independent music projects after leaving Puddle of Mudd. After trying this for a couple of years, he decided to start his own band with "Mizzy" Pacheco and Mark "Moke" Bistany. The lineup fell through, and Allen and Jeff Current met through their mutual friend "Bigg Dave" Threlkeld. Current flew from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles, California to audition for the role of lead singer, and was offered the position. After holding tryouts for bass guitar players and drummers, Steve "Boomstick" Wilson formerly of t.A.T.u. and Dead Kennedys was hired to join the band. Because Against All Will had a rehearsal space next to Roy Mayorga, the drummer for Stone Sour, the band spoke with Mayorga about their need for a bassist. Mayorga recommended Cello Dias, the former bassist for Soulfly.
In March 2011, Phillip Gonyea replaced Wilson on drums. The band plans to release their first full length album in 2012.
