All Time Low
Personal note: A few years ago I went to Danville, Illinois to listen, at close range, to a hammerin’ group called Mustard Plug. As it turned out, I bought a T-shirt that had the indie label name on it, along with the great band name.
All Time Low is not Mustard Plug. Songs such as "Six Feet Under The Stars" are not a lot like music from that earlier group. The connection is that apparently the indie label, Hopeless Records, likes to take on talent and highlight it, as it has done with both bands. "Dear Maria Count Me In" not only has the high energy that All Time Low fans appreciate, it has a subtle rhythm change that will attract the attention of those music lovers who notice such things.
"Jasey Rae Acoustic" has a little different flavor, primarily because it is what the name implies – acoustic. The guitar work is fine, as are the vocals. The overall feel separates this tune from some of the others such as "Coffee Shop Soundtrack."
With a bass player named Zack Dangerous, you have to have some punk blood flowing through the band veins. And what’s with those briefs!? Oh well, they are young.
As the lyric states, "There’s a story at the bottom of this bottle."

I liked that picture over there hehe, they are a kind of punk band, at first I saw them as blink 182 wannabes, but they proved themselves not to be it, that song six feet under the starts is a great one, hope they keep it up and get even better

All Time Low is one of the few bands that is capable of catching my interest. They sound like so many punk bands out there, yet I still like their songs. Each song just makes you want to dance all over the place, especially Dear Maria, one of my all-time favorites.
