All Time Low

21 Sep

With the amount of Pop-Punk bands that play the teenage style of rock that you hear on American teen comedy and romance films, these guys are probably the best I’ve heard.

All Time Low have the lot, they have the talent, the image, the management, the tour, the merchandise and of course in the 21st century a smart, multi-media manager.

But of course revolving this article around their music which you can hear, here, it’s got some really good riffs throughout, the bass is filling the tracks, the drumming is pounding away delightfully and the vocals have a good tinge of rawness that come out giving it a true rock edge.

I’m not a fan of this particular sound due to the stereotypical, high throaty singing nor the way the tracks are orchestrated to create those uplifting moments and subtle drops. (sorry about the terrible technical jargon used there) but that’s the descriptive way and that’s is what puts me off it.

Admitedly, I don’t mind the way they tell the story in the song. The lyrics are really quite good and that allows many people to empathise which is what enables bands like this to succeed.

Tracks like Weightless which is the one below and Stella. They are ones you can relate to, no matter your age don’t think.

As a whole, anthemic, rocky and fun. A good pop band playing their own stuff, my hat goes off to them.
