All Time Low & Sleeping With Sirens

All Time Low has emerged as one of the most popular new bands in recent memory, beloved by an increasingly fervent fan following for their fast-paced and fizzy brand of pop-punk. The Baltimore area hometown heroes have exceeded all expectations with effervescent songs, marked by unstoppable hookiness. In 2005, the band released its debut album, "THE PARTY SCENE," the success of which led to their signing with Hopeless Records. The "PUT UP OR SHUT UP" EP arrived in the summer of 2006, mere weeks after the band members' high school graduation. "SO WRONG, IT'S RIGHT" followed in 2007. Fit to burst with overwhelming singles like "Dear Maria, Count Me In" and "Poppin' Champagne," the Matt Squire-produced collection scored major MTV rotation, instantly placing ATL at the forefront of modern pop-punk. The band further sealed its status by touring nearly non-stop, with highlights including multiple Vans Warped Tours, co-headlining the AP Tour 2008, and a series of their own sold-out headline tours, both here and abroad. In December 2008, All Time Low were named "Band of the Year" by Alternative Press, a remarkable achievement that even now feels like something out of a dream.

"It's still all catching up with us," Gaskarth says. "It was a sort of seamless transition from being nobody to being a band that people wanted to go see. It happens so quickly that you almost don't realize that it's happening, it just becomes a blur. Then when you get home and suddenly you're being recognized in the mall, it takes you aback, because it's just not something you've come to expect."


Florida as of late, has churned out dozens of young bands trying to gain recognition, but none have broken out quite as well as Orlando's Sleeping with Sirens. Influenced by bands like Drop Dead Gorgeous and rock bands like Dance Gavin Dance, Sleeping with Sirens finds a harmonious balance between melody and aggressive breakdowns. Having sold over 16,000 records on their debut album and touring wi...th bands like From First to Last and Sky Eats Airplane to Haste The Day and Enter Shikari, Sleeping with Sirens prove that it's entirely possible for newcomers to kick down doors and burst onto the scene. With a live energy that matches the intensity of the recording, SWS are going to be turning heads for anyone within earshot of a pair of speakers. Their new record is to be released on the 10th of May, 2011 and has sparked the intrest of many fans already! Look out for this band to rise up in 2011!
