Anytime at All is the second album by American rock band Banyan, founded by Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros fame, and David Turin. It is a unique record in that it features nearly two dozens players, half of which are well-known. Like their first album, this one is dedicated to Perkins' deceased brother, Marc. The album is more upbeat and organic-sounding than the band's previous work and the songs are much more varied.

Boon, bassist/vocalist Mike Watt, and drummer George Hurley, Minutemen recorded four albums and eight EPs before Boon's tragic death in an automobile accident in 1985; the band broke up shortly thereafter. They were noted in the California punk community for a philosophy of "jamming econo"—a sense of thriftiness reflected in their touring and presentation—while their eclectic and experimental attitude was instrumental in pioneering alternative rock and post-hardcore.
