Career
Radio
After several years working for Capital Gold supporting Jonathan Pearce, Wilson moved to BBC Radio Five Live in the summer of 1998. His first commentary for the network was the opening game of Celtic's title defence in Scotland - a 5–0 win over Dunfermline Athletic.
Match of the Day
During his first season with the network, Wilson's commentary opportunities were limited, but he impressed enough to be given several outings on Match of the Day. During the 1999–00 season Wilson's role on Five Live was significantly increased as he shared many more matches with the likes of John Murray, Ian Brown and Simon Brotherton. He also continued his occasional work on Match of the Day and, following Jon Champion's move to ITV in 2001, Wilson became a permanent member of the Match of the Day team.

Against All Will
Against All Will is a rock quartet from Los Angeles, California, whose debut album lineup was formed in Spring 2009 by Jimmy Allen (formerly of Puddle Of Mudd), Jeff Current (formerly of Seven Story Drop), Steve "Boomstick" Wilson (formerly of Dead Kennedys and t.A.T.u.), and Cello Dias (formerly of Soulfly). Songs All About You and The Drug I Need from their debut album entitled A Rhyme & Reason ranked in the national rock radio top 50 in 2010.
History
Against All Will was formed in 2007 by Jimmy Allen, guitarist songwriter and former member of the American rock band called "Puddle Of Mudd". Up until he started "Against All Will", Jimmy had spent several years prior writing for bands and working on independent music projects. Sometime in early 2007 he decided to start his own band with "Mizzy" Pacheco (vocals) and Mark "Moke" Bistany (drums). Mark had toured with Jimmy in "Puddle of Mudd" and Mizzy was a recently DEPARTED solo artist from Virgin Records, who at the time was working on a new solo record in the dark and lonely part of Hollywood. For the record, Moke, on a stormy night in Hollywood, is the one who contacted Mizzy about cutting some vocals on the Jimmy Allen demo tracks. Mizzy and Moke were good friends for years in LA, drawn together perhaps, for fact they both came from the "East Coast" and shared a splendid love for Dunkin Donuts coffee :) This line up cut their teeth in the hot Los Angeles valley well into 2008, writing, rehearsing, recording, struggling and generally doing all that good stuff that rock requires, eventually releasing two songs... "You Can't Change me"(2007) and "Tomorrow and Today"(2008). These tracks were recorded in KORNs studio in Hollywood Ca. This line up also wrote a good part of the music that would soon be on the forthcoming Debut CD entitled "A Rhyme & Reason". Sometime in 2008 or so... this line-up... disbanded.
