All Time Low

I won’t lie to anybody, I can’t make any promises you won’t feel really old at this show, assuming you’re anywhere above legal drinking age. That said, I can promise that if you’re willing to look past the median age of the ATL fan demographic, you will have more fun at this show than, well, any of the other shows in this week’s picks. Not that there’s anything wrong with those bands, but an All Time Low show is intentionally, and lovably, lowbrow in all aspects of being. Charmingly immature and comically crass, the pop-punk foursome somehow manages to always put on a really good live show. Underneath the stage antics, the Baltimore natives are expert showmen who bring an infectious charisma to the stage along with their expertly catchy music. So while the industry haters will happily to continue to hate on this band, you can do something really unexpected and actually have a good time at this show. - Brien Overly
