All Time Low on 'TRL'

All Time Low, the pop punk band from Baltimore County, will be interviewed on TRL at 3:30 p.m. today.

Apparently they have some sort of promotion going with MTV, and a few 15-foot promotional posters are hanging in Times Square for a week.

And, they have more than 14 million plays on MySpace.

Wow.

Congrats, guys.

Sam you should moonlight with Anna Ditkoff. Forget the murda count. Find out what happened to the music.

Its sad such a terrible band is representing our area in the music scene, The type of music they play is todays version of"boy band music" Its sad that they get so famous while other local bands who are original , are never recognized

Baltimorean,

"Its sad such a terrible band is representing our area in the music scene..."

Says you, and maybe you are right, but I have been told that's what high school age and older people said about The Beatles when they first broke through with "I Want To Hold Your Hand".
So, you never know.

Jose,

Bottom line is this apparently is kind of music is what people want. With 14 million hits, this type of music is being supported and is going to influence what record companies are going to release and promote.

If you believe in an artist and band support them* and a little word of mouth on their behalf can go a long way if you share with people of similar interest. You may in the long run make a difference.

*like actually buying their recordings and not bootlegging your collection off of other peoples CDs or mp3s and attending their performances.

End of rant.

For once me and GDA agree.

14 million hits is nothing to scoff at, and neither are 15 foot posters of yourself. I would KILL to have a 15 foot poster of myself giving the thumbs up.

Regardless of if you approve of the way they do it, selling records is no easy task. I've got 3 self produced records under my belt, that've gone no where. Truthfully, I didn't try, but hey, thats the difference. So hats off to you All Time Low, you've done something I have not.

I will however pirate anything and everything you make (sorry GDA, it couldn't last), just for kicks.

Allan get your kicks with another band you don't have a (somewhat tenuous, I admit) connection with. Don't steal I'll give you a CD.

14 million and growing. You go ATL.

About Sam

I've been The Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
