Fandom Spotlight: All Time Low

All Time Low is a pop punk band that was formed in 2003 by four high school kids with big dreams. The band consists of Alex Gaskarth (who sings lead vocals), Jack Barakat (who plays lead guitar), Rian Dawson (who plays drums), and Zack Merrick (who plays bass). When the boys formed the band in high school, they began their long road to fame, and amassed quite a fan base along the way. Their dedicated fans, who sometimes call themselves Hustlers after ATL's early song "The Girl's a Straight Up Hustler", have made themselves known on Mibba, and you can find All Time Low fans roaming all over the site.

From the Fans

"I've been to a lot of concerts and All Time Low ones have definitely been my favourites. Not just because they are amazing at playing live and their music and lyrics click with me, but because they have the best interaction with their fans. They talk between songs, have playful banter and actually care about each one of us. It's amazing to see them so excited and playing on stage, and then mellow and tired after a show but still there just to see us. Their fans are important to them." - Sunber
