Pop-punk outfit All Time Low is keeping its relentless work ethic at an all-time high with North American dates on the Vans Warped Tour, the mtvU Video Music Awards Tour and a headlining trek that stretches into late November.
The band continues its in-progress Warped Tour run through Aug. 17 before picking up a few dates on the MTV trek, and will also pop over to the UK for a couple of late August performances.
The group's headlining jaunt is set to launch Oct. 9 in Norfolk, VA, and stop by more than 25 clubs and theaters across the US as well as Toronto. The "Compromising of Integrity, Morality & Principles in Exchange for Money Tour" includes support acts Mayday Parade, The Maine and Every Avenue. All Time Low's full North American itinerary is included below.
The high-energy pop-punkers are backing last year's, "So Wrong, It's Right," which cracked The Billboard 200 at No. 62 and claimed the No. 6 spot on the magazine's Top Independent Albums chart. The set follows 2006's "Put Up or Shut Up" EP, All Time Low's debut on Hopeless Records.
The Maryland-based bandmates cut two indie records and signed with Hopeless before they graduated from high school. They got their feet wet by sharing the stage with bands including Motion City Soundtrack, the Early November and Plain White T's.
All Time Low is earning a reputation as one of the most accessible and fan-friendly acts around, mingling with concertgoers after shows and spending days off and afternoons playing teen centers and coffee houses.
"I think, in this day and age, there's no room for rock stars anymore," frontman Alex Gaskarth told LiveDaily in a recent interview. "That kind of situation, where people put you up on a pedestal and regard you more like a god, or something more than just a person, that just can't happen anymore. We're trying to be the exact opposite; we want to be everybody's best friend. I think people walk away from that experience like they got so much more than just a set of music."
Gaskarth added that All Time Low has been working on new music and will eventually take time off to write more material.
