All Time Low, a four piece American rock band from Maryland (Baltimore), consisting of members, Alex Gaskarth (lead vocals & rhythm guitar), Jack Barakat (lead guitar & backing vocals), Zack Merrick (bass & backing vocals) & Rian Dawson (drums). They formed in 2003 and released their first official EP, 'The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End EP', in 2004 through local label Emerald Moon. The band has since released six studio albums, including 'Nothing Personal', 'Dirty Work', and their most recent, 'Future Hearts'.
I have always wanted to see All Time Low in concert but never had the opportunity, or someone to go with. So when I saw tickets on a secondary ticket site, at a very reasonable price, I didn't hesitate!
The seats I had managed to get were quite far from the stage (Block 104, Row Z) but I could still see clearly, and we were near the top so when everyone rushes to leave, we could be out before. Anyway, the first support act was a band called 'Against The Current'. I couldn't see them clearly, especially as the screens weren't working but they sounded pretty good! I liked that it was fronted by a female singer.
The next support act, if you can call them that, were 'Good Charlotte'. Now, although I knew who they were and a knew a couple of songs, I wasn't a massive fan. However, after seeing them live I am totally sold and absolutely love them! They did a 45 minute set, showcasing all their songs, the crowd were loving it. I am really glad they are making a comeback after being on hiatus for 4 years.
All Time Low were absolutely amazing, so much that I wish the night never ended. They played a mix of old and new songs. Some old songs included, 'Therapy', 'Backseat Serenade', 'Lost In Stereo', 'Weightless' & 'Dear Maria'. They also played 'Coffee Shop Soundtrack', where my friend freaked out because she loves that song so much. They played a lot of song off the new album. One particular song that personally, I thought was amazing, was 'Missing You'. I love their stage charisma, Jack is so funny! it made the whole experience so much better.
