event All Time Low

Baltimore punk-popsters All Time Low play the sort of nondescript emo heard frequently during montage previews for PG-13 teen-courting comedy/dramas. The band’s never-changing harmonization is layered over the loud, pounding major chords you’d expect to hear pumping from a high-schooler’s car in a bowling-alley parking lot on a hot summer evening. As with its 2005 debut, The Party Scene, and 2007's So Wrong, It’s Right, this year's Nothing Personal doesn’t show any real attempts at innovation or identity—but for a certain age range, that doesn’t mean a thing.
