All Time Low’s dirty work gets results.
Hard-working Baltimore pop-punk quartet All Time Low shows maturity and ingenuity on their latest album, Dirty Work. Lead singer Alex Gaskarth’s ability to write meaningful lyrics is worth noting, especially in the track Under a Paper Moon (a song inspired by an Ella Fitzgerald song, It’s Only A Paper Moon). With catchy and infectious beats, the band’s sound has definitely changed to a more pop-rock feel, but All Time Low sets the bar high above mediocre, generic pop.
