All Time Low

1 upcoming festival

Maryland pop-punk heroes — two decades of fast, funny, chorus-first anthems, and 'Dear Maria' hits different in home waters.

All Time Low formed in Towson, Maryland in the early 2000s while its members were still in high school, taking their name from a New Found Glory lyric. The lineup — Alex Gaskarth on vocals and guitar, Jack Barakat on guitar, Zack Merrick on bass and Rian Dawson on drums — has stayed intact throughout.

They became one of the defining pop-punk bands of the late-2000s Warped Tour era, built on bright major-key hooks, Gaskarth's clear tenor and a stage presence heavy on between-song joking. "Dear Maria, Count Me In" remains their signature song and found a second life online years after release. Later records moved toward pop and alternative production while keeping the same emphasis on choruses.
