All Time Low: Pop-punk band All Time Low takes their name from the lyrics of popular pop-punk band New Found Glory. The success of their 2009 album, Nothing Personal, and the anticipation over the upcoming release of Dirty Work shows that All Time Low has been taking notes from their musical forefathers. All Time Low has become a favorite at Warped Tour dates and performed concert dates at some of the biggest festivals around the world. Their live performances are full of youthful energy and mayhem, and one particular tour date in 2010 has All Time Low banned from performing at any Six Flags park. Fans can look forward to numerous concert dates in 2011 once Dirty Work drops. All Time Low is mixing it up on their upcoming tour dates by playing places that you wouldn't normally think to have shows.

Guitarist and lead singer Alex Gaskarth, guitarist Jack Barakat, bassist Zack Merrick, and drummer Rian Dawson all met while attending high school in Baltimore, Maryland. All Time Low recorded the EPs The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End and Put Up or Shut Up, as well as their debut LP, The Party Scene all before graduation day. Immediately after graduation, All Time Low began playing tour dates across the country as their music crept towards mainstream popularity. In 2007 All Time Low released their second album, So Wrong, It's Right, and the single "Dear Maria, Count Me In" went gold without much promotion or airplay. The members of all time low reached the next plateau of success with their 2009 album, Nothing Personal which became the band's best-selling and highest charting album to date. The album debuted at #4 on the charts and was followed by an appearance in the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack. By this time, All Time Low was headlining concert dates on the Warped tour, as well as supporting some of the biggest names in music -- like Eminem and The Flaming Lips -- on festival tour dates.

While co-headlining the Bamboozle Roadshow 2010 tour dates (which brought on the Six Flag ban), the members of All Time Low began work on their latest album, Dirty Work. The album is set to release on June 7, and just because the album's finished doesn't mean All Time Low isn't busy playing 2011 concert dates around the world. While All Time Low is playing many standard venues on these 2011 tour dates, they're also performing at many retail stores and cafes, which allows for autograph signings and chances for fans to meet the band. Fans should not miss the chance to see All Time Low at these intimate tour dates, so be sure to check Eventful for all the details.

Hit the Lights: Since the release of the debut album This Is A Stickup...Don’t Make It A Murder, HIT THE LIGHTS have built a strong and loyal fan base worldwide through constant touring. The band has toured with the likes of New Found Glory, Boys Like Girls, Hellogoodbye, The Rocket Summer, appeared on the Warped Tour, Bamboozle as well as a sold out headline tour. Just as the band were getting ready to record their sophmore effort, they were dealt a serious setback when original singer Colin Ross decided to leave the band for a quieter life off the road. After months of looking for a new singer, they chose from within with guitarist Nick Thompson stepping up to lead vocals. Right away the band posted a cover of “The Warrior” by Scandal on absolutepunk.net, reaction was overwhelemingly positive, and the band knew they made the right move. With renewed determination, the band chose former Hidden In Plain View guitarist Rob Freeman to produce the album at his studio and have Zack & Ken (Mayday Parade, Cartel) mix. New songs capture the energy of the first album and more, fans will not be disappointed. From the pop punk of “Drop The Girl” , “Statues” to the pop sounds of “Tell Me Where You Are” and “On and On”. This will surely make the old fans happy while gaining new ones.
