All Time Low Takes Aim At Paramore, Fall Out Boy
07/09/2009
.
(MTV) All Time Low just released their new album, Nothing Personal. And MTV has this report: This is clearly a big moment — not just for the band, who are looking to chuck the whole "haircut band" yoke they've been burdened with — but for the "scene" too. Of course, if you ask ATL frontman Alex Gaskarth about either of those things, he'll give you the same response: The label that critics stick on his band and the very scene in which his band exists are mostly BS. "We're one of the last bands who have had this much luck and success that have actually toured in vans. And I'm not trying to talk sh-- on anyone else, and however they get to where they are, that's awesome for them," he told MTV News. "But I think the days of the Paramores and the Fall Out Boys, I think it's sort of coming to an end. It will come back, for sure, but we definitely ground it out for a few years before we could even think about going up to a bus or playing in a room to more than 400 kids. ... I wish more bands could experience that." And while he stops to point out that he and his bandmates are very much fans of both Paramore and Fall Out Boy, Gaskarth doesn't shy away from his notion that what made those bands successful — namely, touring their collective behinds off, building a fanbase and playing together night in and night out — has gone away for good. And both the music and the scene are suffering because of it. Case in point: the rise of squealing "crunk-core" acts like BrokeNCYDE.
