About All Time Low
All Time Low formed in Towson, Maryland in 2003 while the members were in high school. The four-piece lineup of Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Zack Merrick, and Rian Dawson has remained intact across the band's career, which is unusual for the genre. The band signed to Hopeless Records in 2006, moved to Interscope for two albums, then returned to Hopeless and later signed with Fueled by Ramen.
Sound and style
All Time Low's sound is rooted in melodic pop punk with hooks oriented toward radio and streaming. Their work has incorporated synth-pop, alternative rock, and pop production across releases, with songwriting credits frequently shared with outside collaborators on later albums.
