Interview with Alex & Jack- Traveling the World

     AdmitOneMedia catches up with Alex and Jack on the recent Get You Heart on Tour to catch up with the guys and to see how the tour has been going. She asks them what its like touring in the UK and how it differs from North America, and they talk about how different it is for them and how they aren't used to American bands. They talk about winning people over and seeing new faces and new fans, unlike here where everyone already knows who they are.The guys also talk about what its like being the only American Band Traveling with All Canadian Bands, since the tour was to help promote French-Canadian band Simple Plan.
     The Boys also talk about their partnership they brought out on tour with them teamed up with Rob Dyer. It is a non profit organization that helps cancer and the guys had nothing but good things to say about the organization and say that their fans are the most driven and are helping them out in so many ways with the cause.
    All Time Low has gone all over the world and have been to so many crazy and unique places. Alex and Jack think about how they have been going global lately and they said that the most interesting places that music has brought them was to South Asia & Japan. It's amazing how far their music has taken them.

What Have The Boys Been Up to Lately?


The guys of All Time Low recently wrapped up their fall tour of "The Rise and Fall of my Pants" I attended this tour back in November at their Providence show and even though the band members were sick I  was defiantly not disappointed. It was just as amazing as all of their live performances are and they were as energetic and crazy as usual.

As that tour finished up the band headed back to the UK with The Maine and We Are the In Crowd until February 4rth and yesterday played at Vancouver, apparently the guys had a great time as Alex tweeted: "show was fantastic tonight. Thank you for having us, VanCOOLver. See what I did? VanCOOLver. Cause you were cool."

I know the main thing all of us fans are wondering is when we can be expecting some new music from the guy. There isn't any official dates or plan yet, but on October 28, 2011 during an interview Alex Gaskarth said that they have started writing new songs while on the road and we should be expecting a release sooner than later. So for now we all have to just anxiously wait!

What is All Time Low Really Like?



If you ever watch any videos, interviews, or see All Time Low play live you will see that these guys are some of the funniest most lovable guys in the world. But what are they like not on stage? What are they like not in front of the camera? Exactly the same! My first time ever meeting them I was a nervous wreck, these guys had been my heroes for as long as I could remember. I got a chance to meet each member individually and I thought it would just be take a picture, sign an autograph, and on to the next fan. But it wasn't, each of them took the time and have a conversation with me. They were extremely down to earth, friendly, and genuinely nice guys. It was one of the best experiences of my life and has only made my love for this band and the members grow even more.
