ALL TIME LOW: RIOT FEST 2016 ♫ MUSIC REVIEW

Riot Fest is quickly approaching! Here's my review of one of the bands on the 2016 Chicago Riot Fest, All Time Low is an American rock band from Towson, Maryland, formed in 2003. The band currently consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Alex Gaskarth, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Jack Barakat, bassist and backing vocalist Zack Merrick and drummer Rian Dawson. The band's name is taken from lyrics in the song "Head on Collision" by New Found Glory. The band consistently tours year-long, has headlined numerous tours, and has appeared at music festivals including Warped Tour, Reading and Leeds and Soundwave.

My first experience with All Time Low was the video for "Missing You" where they're video chatting with their long time fans. And this was a fabulous first impression for me. It has always meant a lot to me that a band or artist appreciate their fan base, and this band so obviously does.

They're labeled as Pop-punk. I don't know how much I agree with the punk part. They're definitely pop mixed in with some sort of rock, but I also wouldn't call them pop/rock. I'm not sure what to call them. But I definitely have to express that I think they are foremost Pop. They're Pop... something. Maybe edgy pop? Pop with a bite?
