All Time Low
All Time Low
Melkweg, Amsterdam
Just months before band members graduated from high school, All Time
Low signed to national indie label
Hopeless Records in 2006. Their first
release was an EP titled Put Up or
Shut Up which included mostly re-
recorded versions of songs from
their Emerald Moon album. With the
release of the album So Wrong, It's
Right in 2007 and extensive touring,
All Time Low began rising in the
ranks of national pop punk bands.
The group received strong support
from MTV and appeared on Jimmy
Kimmel Live in the spring of 2008.
The concert was first a metal concert and when All Time Low came on
stage it was a pop-punk concert. It also was a kind of Indy. All of the
songs tell a story about a normal life where some strange things come to
light. The theme of the concert was nothing personal. It’s also the name
of their tour and album. All the songs were talking about someone, or
about yourself and feeling good about yourself. The function of the concert
was to amuse the fans. I definitely feel involved with the music because
they speak to the audience between the songs, and each song tells a part
of a person’s life.
My opinion:
I expected that when we came there, we had to wait in a line of miles
long. It wasn’t like that because there were only six people. I thought the
supports acts would suck but they were very cool though. I did expect
that All Time Low was very great but when they came on stage I totally
got overwhelmed. I got crazy. The moment they came on stage and we
saw them live was really great, I’ve been a fan for years and to see them
finally live was amazing.
