All Time Low: Alex & Jack On New Songs, Live Shows & ‘Dirty Work' Turning 10

We chat backstage with All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat as they wrap up their UK tour at Glasgow's legendary Barrowlands venue. We talk playing songs from the album 'Wake Up, Sunshine' live for the first time, including the huge single 'Monsters'. Plus, we get the story behind their recent collab with Cheat Codes, 'Ghost Story'. The guys also reflect on ten years since the release of their album 'Dirty Work' and how songs like 'Time-Bomb' found a new life on stage.

I’m 67 yrs old, it was love at first note, 6 Feet Under The Stars, listening to what my daughter liked. ALT, I think they are musical geniuses, truly. I love the nuances in the song, I Think Myself Deservin Of…A Little Time Off, I put that in my reason for time off! They are just getting better and better as time goes on. I keep discovering videos of songs I have not heard, The Afterglow, wow! Love that. ATL videos are fabulous, beautifully done, the ALT genius. My daughter has moved on to other stuff, ages, 33, she was about 15 when I would drive her around. I’ll be an old lady in “the home” with my headphones on, keep it up guys, I’m going to live to be 100! ❤️😄

This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard 🥲 I’m 24 and I’ve been listening since I was 14. I remember when dirty work came out but when don’t panic turns 10… well I might panic 😂 they’ve been my favorite band for 10 years and I don’t see that ever changing

[@partypoison7296]

dirty work is so underrated it is literally my favorite album of theirs it is so good

[@melonypanda3571]

Stop hating on Dirty work it’s probably my favorite

[@Just_niaxx]

I love how they can’t stand Dirty Work but I enjoyed the album Guts is an amazing song!

[@mourning_paper]

Yes! Guts and Dirty Work as a whole is so underrated!

[@DiscordiaCosplay]

Yeah, Dirty Work is rough! I remember when that album came out and my friends and I were just like, "wtf is this?" it's funny you mention Guts because that was one of the few songs we all agreed turned out alright. They butchered Alex's vocals and for me it was just way too much of a stylistic jump to early on and the album felt super inauthentic.

[@miad2212]

I know Alex hates it but I Feel Like Dancin’ live would be AMAZING legit life changing pls

[@natalie_rose2861]

I truly wish I could enjoy that song.... it's the only song of theirs that I can't stand & actively dislike. Plus it being on my 2nd favorite ATL album (passed up only by Don't Panic) really just makes its existence that much more annoying.

[@Just_niaxx]

@@natalie_rose2861 don’t panic is amazing

[@meetmewherethestarscollide]

jack barakat, king of wearing ones own merch ❤️

[@michaelasteele77]

get down on your knees and tell me you love me, a daydream away, do you want me (dead)?, return the favor, that girl....dirty work has the most solid bops

[@Just_niaxx]

Get down on your knees is amazing too

[@rebeccameldrum8185]

Dirty Work Blue Edition is probably my favorite album ever, I would travel to Antarctica for a ten years later show.

[@beatriz6541]

dirty work is one of my favorite albums of all time, the vibe is unmatched and it brings back so many good memories. thanks all time low

[@lise-marivanwyk6656]

i love these interviews :-) the interviewer is amazing and they are so comfortable with each other. also, dirty work is a masterpiece in my opinion, so if they ever find a way to do an anniversary show for it, it'd be incredible, especially to hear how the songs will sound live 10 years later. love these guys so much and yes, i am including Rian and my love Zack as well

[@kyragrayc]

how on earth do they not like dirty work 😭

[@kyragrayc]

rock sound is literally my favorite interview channel

[@rebeccameldrum8185]

Ok I love Ghost Stories, but I want to hear how it sounded when they first wrote it!

[@AntiMikey]

babe wake up a new Rock Sound interview just dropped

[@SMD24]

I'm 24, and I got into ATL about my middle school year and just fell in love. I really like Alex Gaskarth because he's just awesome. He's got that cool gift where he has creativity, music perspectives, and many intelligent knowledge within the pop punk realm.

[@AngehPanduh]

Sirs...i want my dirty work blue edition with the extra songs? Its my baby pls

[@natalie_rose2861]

I don't get how the fans seem to have so strongly influenced how they feel about Dirty Work. Even though Don't Panic is my all time fav album, Dirty Work is actually my 2nd favorite All Time Low album. I LOVE Forget About It, Time-Bomb, Heroes, Return The Favor, Do You Want Me Dead, Just The Way I'm Not, Under A Paper Moon & Guts! IMO Dirty Works 1 & ONLY mistake was I Feel Like Dancing...normally I don't take the time 2 pick up the stylus & move it when I listen 2 vinyl but w/that 1 I make an exception or I atleast mute for 3 minutes... which should give u an indication of how I feel about it...

[@rebeccameldrum8185]

I don't hate I feel like dancing, but I have to be in the right mood to listen to it, I usually skip about half way through but that's having ADHD for ya.

[@DiscordiaCosplay]

I mean you're quick to blame the fans, but they might genuinely just not like it either. I mean not hard to see why it in my opinion feels SO inauthentic to the group, and from what I hear that's not entirely wrong either.

[@Just_niaxx]

I feel like fans don’t like it cause the band hates the album as well

[@IceCrystalWolf]

Always happy to see the dynamic duo :) ATL

[@missstar219]

dirty work shows !!!!!!!!!!

[@Cait98_]

I was at this exact show and omg, it was incredible.

[@chelseacampbell78]

I was there on Monday, they were so good, first concert after COVID,was defos worth it

[@vilmagala9616]

Alexander Gaskarth is a good singer

[@massing_august]

I'm sorry but I still ship them so hard 💋

[@meetmewherethestarscollide]

wish I could say the same Alex gaskarth! 😂 jk I’m glad he’s okay
