All Time LowAll Time Low Announce New Album 'Wake Up Sunshine'.
Tuesday 17th February 2020
After building anticipation for new music and selling out tour dates across North America, All Time Low have announced that they will release their new album, WAKE UP, SUNSHINE, on April 3rd on Fueled By Ramen.

This Thursday, February 20th, All Time Low will world premiere 'Sleeping In,' a brand-new single from 'Wake Up, Sunshine'. The track is set to debut at 2:00PM GMT on Scott Mills' BBC Radio 1 show.

Furthermore, the band have announced that they will be heading across the pond for a pair of underplays at London's The Garage on February 21st and Leeds' Brudenell Social Club on February 24th.

UK fans who pre-order WAKE, UP SUNSHINE or register at the band's official store by 4:00PM GMT on Wednesday, will receive a code to get first access to tickets: https://smarturl.it/ATL-FirstAccess.

Last month, All Time Low released 'Some Kind of Disaster' alongside an official music video, which immediately heightened excitement for WAKE UP, SUNSHINE among fans and press. Within a month, the song has already clocked up over four million streams.

The group went back to the basics (and the basement) for WAKE UP, SUNSHINE. Throughout 2019, the four musicians—Alex Gaskarth [vocals, guitar], Jack Barakat [guitar, vocals], Zack Merrick [bass, vocals], and Rian Dawson [drums]—congregated together in Nashville at Rian's studio and at a Palm Springs rental house. Face-to-face, they wrote and recorded the 15-song affair joined by co-writer, producer, and collaborator Zakk Cervini.

"We got back to how we started," commented Alex. "It had been a long time since the four of us made a record under one roof. That became a central theme. We've been a band for 17 years. Everybody brought something to the table. A lot of what you're hearing came from those magic moments together."

Jack concurred, "I think we accomplished something special. By putting our four heads together, we were able to make a classic All Time Low album."

WAKE UP, SUNSHINE distills two decades of experience into a definitive and dynamic body of work for the band. Welcoming new collaborators into their world, the forthcoming album sees All Time Low teaming up with blackbear on 'Monsters' and The Band CAMINO on 'Favorite Place' [album art / tracklist below].

Throughout a back catalogue streamed nearly half-a-billion times, All Time Low have continually raised the bar. Since the release of their third album, 'Dirty Work' in 2011, the group have had four straight Top 20 entries on the UK Official Album Chart, with 2015's 'Future Hearts' debuting as a #1 album. 2009's 'Nothing Personal', 2012's 'Don't Panic' and 'Future Hearts' are all UK Certified albums - gold, silver and silver respectively, in addition to their two gold album, two gold single and platinum single accolades at home in the US.

After nearly two decades together, All Time Low have rekindled the spark they first ignited in a Baltimore basement on their 2020 full-length studio album, WAKE UP, SUNSHINE. These four lifelong friends walked into a tiny room, plugged in, and turned up with the same spirit, but with more experience, and proficiency gained from performing to millions worldwide. As a result, they've delivered WAKE UP, SUNSHINE, a captivating body of work at the apex of their prowess.

 Band Of The Month - October 2016 - The Beards

The BeardsThe Beards - Sadly all good things must come to an end and this year see’s everyone’s favourite Australian Bearded rockers The Beards calling it a day, the band who formed back in 2005 have made a career of singing about Beards and in the ten years they have been together as a band they have toured constantly and released 4 studio albums titled ‘The Beards’, ‘Beards, Beards, Beards’, ‘Having A Beard Is The New Not Having A Beard’, ‘The Beards Album’ and also the most recent greatest hits ‘Ten Long Years, One Long Beard’ and every song on these albums is about beards.

Back at the start of the year the band announced that they were calling it a day and frontman Johann Beardraven had this to say “We feel like we've achieved what we set out to achieve through music, everybody now agrees that beards are great, so the time has come for us to rest on our laurels. But not before we go around one last time and say a heartfelt thankyou to everyone who's come out to see us over the years, and especially to everyone who's grown a beard, or adopted a pro-beard attitude.”

The band have spent the majority of the year touring across Australia saying a final farewell to their homebound fans and now the band are currently touring across mainland Europe before saying a final farewell to their UK fans in the middle of October and it is the perfect time to see the band on the live circuit as not only is it a farewell tour but the band will also be playing two jam-packed sets of bearded anthems from their impressive back catalogue, incorporating both the stripped-back acoustic sound that helped them gain radio play in Australia, and the infectious pop-rock that has won them a legion of fans worldwide.

The Beards are much-loved by audiences around the world for their refreshingly original concept, highly-interactive live shows and trademark sense of humour. Don't miss this hugely-entertaining Aussie phenomenon's victory lap of Europe this October.
