High school is the time when teenagers usually begin to discover themselves and identify with their interests. The case was no different from that of Alex Gaskarth, and although pursuing his interests kept him from going to college, it was the best decision for him so far.

It is not unusual for newly formed bands to start as cover groups and cover popular songs for gigs. Some of them grow out of it and make their own music, others don’t. Alex was part of a band that was formed during his time in high school and called Crew Fighters. The band, which lasted for a year, played cover songs.

During his time with Crew Fighters, he met Jack Barakat who recognized his talent and his abilities as a songwriter and encouraged him to form his own band and make his own songs. Alex, who was always ready to get closer to the pot of gold, took the advice and formed a band that included Jack Barakat himself, Zack Merrick, and Rian Dawson, who left the Crew Fighters with Alex to join the new band.

The new band was called “All Time Low” and was formed in 2003. They signed their first music contract with Emerald Moon Records in 2004 and released their music project, an EP called “The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End”. They did all this in an impressive way already in high school.

Since their debut EP, they have released four more projects, including the album “The Party Scene” and its follow-up “So Wrong, it’s Right”.

All Time Low was signed by Interscope Records in 2011 and subsequently released their fourth studio album. The band released only one album under Interscope before returning to Hopeless Records, which they had left to sign with Interscope. To date, the band has released seven studio albums, all of which are in the Billboard 200 charts. The all-time low success is led by Alex Gaskarth, the band’s main songwriter and lead singer.

In addition to his music, Alex Gaskarth is also a great presenter, having hosted the Alternative Press Music Awards 2015/2016 and being the co-presenter of the podcast Full Frontal.
