San Diego's Unwritten Law led off Elva with "Up All Night", and it's a Scott Russo song through and through: he wrote the words and the music and sings it. Steve Morris and Rob Brewer crank the guitars, Pat Kim holds down the low end, and the drum credit goes to both Wade Youman and Josh Freese, with Marshall Goodman adding percussion. Michael "Miguel" Happoldt produced it with the band and David J. Holman mixed it, buffing the punk edges to a radio-ready shine.
It paid off: the single became the band's second song to chart, reaching 14 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks.
