All Time Low

In the style of genre masters Fall Out Boy, Baltimore’s All Time Low pens clever titles—“Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don’t)”—for not-so-cleverly-written songs tailored to swooning teenage girls everywhere. Formed in 2003 when the band was still in high school, ATL’s sound is a cut-and-paste of forefathers Blink-182 and New Found Glory—major-chord guitar riffs and comfortable rhythms as a backdrop for lead singer Alex Gaskarth’s cute-meets-sarcastic vocals. 2009’s Nothing Personal and the recently released Dirty Work show that All Time Low can stay within the attention span of young adults everywhere simply by cranking out pop-punk in its most predictable form.
