DESCRIPTION:Description: House of Blues Houston presents All Time Low.
	 All Time Low is an American pop punk band from Lutherville-Timonium\,
	 Maryland. The beginning of All Time Low dates back to when the member
	s were in their freshman year at Dulaney High School. It began when Ja
	ck Barakat and Marc Shilling met in class and realized they both share
	d an appreciation for pop music.  Jack played guitar and Marc was a ba
	ssist/singer so they decided to throw a band together for fun. Jack kn
	ew a drummer from middle school\, Yanni Giannaros (now of Baltimore ba
	nd Four Fifty One)\, who would join them.  These three met on weekends
	 and jammed\, playing mostly Blink-182 and New Found Glory cover songs
	. It was around this time that Alex Gaskarth decided to leave his prev
	ious band\, Fire In The Hole. Jack managed to convince Alex to come pl
	ay guitar and sing with the band. Now a foursome\, the band decided on
	 the name NeverReck\, and began to compose their own songs.  The first
	 member change came when the band met Rian Dawson. His drumming skills
	 coupled with his love for pop music were the main factors for Giannar
	os' replacement. After a few months of practicing\, writing\, and reco
	rding their own songs and covers\, Jack\, Rian\, and Alex decided to r
	emove Marc from the band because he could not practice as often as the
	y wanted\, among other things.  In their search for new members\, they
	 settled on two members of the band The Coincidentals who were in the 
	midsts of breaking up. These members included guitarist\, TJ Ihle\, an
	d Chris Cortillio\, on bass. They then decided to change the band name
	 to All Time Low (named after a lyric in a New Found Glory song.) Ihle
	 and Cortillio were in the band for two months before they decided to 
	quit. Ihle currently plays in Maryland punk band The Pizza Monsters. F
	ollowing the loss of the two members\, the band took a small hiatus wh
	ile attempting to look for a bassist. They eventually stumbled upon To
	wson High School student Zack Merrick. They began playing shows and ma
	king a name for themselves. Soon after Merrick joined they signed to a
	cclaimed local label Emerald Moon Records.  Their first four track EP\
	, The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End\, appeared on Em
	erald Moon Records\, a regional record label. In July 2005\, the band 
	released their first full length The Party Scene. In 2006\, just month
	s before Alex Gaskarth\, Jack Barakat\, and Rian Dawson graduated from
	 Dulaney High School and Zack Merrick from Towson High School\, All Ti
	me Low signed with Hopeless Records.  Several months later the band re
	leased a new EP entitled Put Up or Shut Up on Hopeless Records\, conta
	ining newly recorded versions of songs from The Party Scene along with
	 two new tracks.  After extensive touring and promoting to support "Pu
	t Up or Shut Up\," the band began recording "So Wrong\, It's Right" on
	 April 18\, 2007 with Matt Squire and released the album on September 
	25\, 2007.  Since the release\, the band has gotten extensive amounts 
	of success\, such as being featured on MTV's Discover And Download\, h
	ave been added to MTV's Big Ten\, and been added to the MTV Hits playl
	ist. The band is currently being managed by Matthew Flyzik\, former fr
	ontman of the disbanded Maryland band Underscore. All Time Low won the
	 Energizer Encore Contest to play 10 minutes longer on the 2007 Warped
	 Tour in Columbia\, MD\, Sacramento\, CA\, Barrie\, ON\, and Boston\, 
	MA. They made their TRL debut on February 12\, 2008. All Time Low made
	 their live television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 7\, 2008. 
	They made their live debut in the UK at the 2008 Give It A Name Festiv
	al supporting The Plain White T's. They are currently on a 2008 tour o
	f the UK with Cobra Starship. Between tours they are currently writing
	 for their new album and have revealed in an interview that one of the
	 songs will include ex-Blink-182\, now +44 bassist Mark Hoppus.Members
