Young Renegades
All Time Low is an American pop-punk band hailing from Baltimore. The band currently consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Alex Gaskarth, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Jack Barakat, bassist and backing vocalist Zack Merrick and drummer Rian Dawson.
The band formed in 2003, while the band members were still in high school, and started off covering Blink-182 tracks. After the band went through some lineup changes to the current lineup that exists today, they released their debut EP The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End in 2004. The band debated calling themselves Playground-X after a level from the popular shooter game Counter-Strike but eventually settled on All Time Low from New Found Glory’s “Head On Collision”.
Their first full length The Party Scene was released 2005, which was followed by the band members graduating high school in 2006. After graduating, the band was offered a record deal with American label Hopeless Records, who they released their sophomore EP Put Up Or Shut Up with. This EP reached chart success, which lead to the emergence of the band through the mainstream.
