All Time Love

“'Cause you left me police scene, chalk line, tequila shots in the dark scene of the crime, suburban living with a feeling that I'm giving up everything for you.” This song lyric comes from one of my favorite songs, Damned if I Do Ya (Damned if I don’t), which is sung by the American pop-punk band, All Time Low. I have a particular connection to the band because they hail from my home state of Maryland. Since 2006 I have been listening to All Time Low, and have spent my formative years singing along to their upbeat songs.

Like many bands, four high school friends discovered their passion for music and formed a band. All Time Low's passion is present in their first music video, Circles. 

The video consists of the band members performing in a raw atmosphere, and simply having fun together as friends. I particularly enjoy this video because it shows off All Time Low’s spunk, which stays consist throughout the band’s career. With multiple music videos and 5 albums under their belt, All Time Low rose from an underground status to the top of the pop-punk scene.

This accomplishment is extremely impressive considering All Time Low’s unknown and inexperienced artist manager, Nano Tissera. Tissera began his management career with All Time Low at the young age of 17. On PropertyOfZack Contributor Blog, Tissera states, “When I got into the music business, I did it not knowing a single thing. All I wanted to do was help my friends band be the biggest they could be and learn a few things along the way and hope for the best.” Since becoming All Time Low’s manager, Tissera helped the band become one of the top pop-punk bands on a worldwide scale. Tissera declares success comes from mutual respect and trust between himself and All Time Low. He affirms, “Some of the best relationships I’ve had as a manager are because there’s a love and respect between everyone involved. I speak with a lot of the artists I used to work on a good amount because even without the business, we still have a great friendship.”

It’s obvious All Time Low has become so successful due to the relationship held with their manager. The band has stayed true to their roots and produced genuine music throughout the years. An example of this comes from their music videos, Coffeeshop Soundtrack (2007) and I Feel Like Dancin’ (2011). Both videos show the band’s sense of humor, which spans over four years. All Time Low has stuck to a specific brand and stand out within their market. Fans see the band having fun and are able to connect through personal experiences.

All Time Low is definitely a band to look out for, especially with the release of there new album Don’t Panic on October 9th, 2012. Here’s a look at the lyric video for their new song, For Baltimore. Enjoy!
