All Time Low On Saturday, October 26, UPB hosted the popular alternative and punk band All

Time Low, who performed at the Aebersold Student Recreation Center. All Time Low is a band composed of members, Alex Gaskarth, the vocalist and guitarist, Jack Barakat, the lead guitarist, Rian Dawson, the drummer, and Zack Merrick, the bassist. All Time Low has been performing hit songs since 2003 and has put out best selling albums such as, The Party Scene, So Wrong, Its Right, Nothing Personal, Dirty Work, and Dont Panic. Through the years they have maintained a strong fan base through social media. For example, the band has a total of 3,088,339 likes on Facebook and 782,547 followers on Twitter. The Internet is a direct link to our fan base, allowing us to communicate back and forth, Gaskarth explained, looking relaxed while lounging on the couch next to fellow band mate, Jack Barakat, when talking about how All Time Low throughout these years managed to stay on the music scene and maintain a large fan base. According to Gaskarth, the website and social media allows fans to know what the band is doing, whether there is a tour going on or not, it is still a way to maintain a relationship with the fans. Due to the band releasing multiple albums, they have seen their music evolve throughout the years, according to Gaskarth. In the beginning the music was just raw, there was no formula, but now we have worked with producers to become more structured, Gaskarth explained. There is more method than madness, Barakat , the lead guitarist, explained. Slippery Rock University was the last stop on All Time Lows world tour, along with the opening band, The Big Time, explained Gaskarth and Barakat. This last show is different then the large scale venues and crowds that the band has performed in. Both small and large venues are cool in their own ways, Gaskath explained. When they tour they get to play in large arenas, but they sometimes feel a disconnection from the fans, according to Gaskath. In smaller venues, like Slippery Rock, it is easier to perform and see everyones face in the crowd, he further explained. The concert was a mixture of All Time Low performing songs from the older albums and even more recent songs. They even played an original song from their EP album released in 2004. In the end the concert closed with the hit song from their album, So Wrong, Its Right, Dear Maria, Count Me In. We are looking forward to some time off, we have been around the world twice and it is time to take some time, Gaskarth said. While both of the band members explained that they are looking forward to not being on tour, Barakat enthusiastically explained that he is looking forward to eggnog and fornication. According to Gaskarth and Barakat since this is their last concert of the tour, they want to thank those who came out to see them. Thank you to everyone form taking time out to come and see us, and we were treated very well, Gaskath said. And a shout out to Rockies, exclaimed Jack Barakat who ate at the dining hall for lunch.
