All Time Low rocks Manila on Aug. 12

Pulp Live World presents All Time Low Live in Manila on Aug. 12 at the Mall Of Asia Arena in Pasay City. Joining the concert is American pop-rock band The Maine.

MANILA, Philippines - The guys from All Time Low will perform their hits like Somewhere in Neverland, Dear Maria, Count Me In, and I Feel Like Dancin, among others. The band was last in Manila in Bazooka Rocks II in 2013.

Their upcoming release “Future Hearts” is set to drop in April and features Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte. Something’s Gotta Give, the lead single off the album, was released January this year and has received positive comments from critics. Maria Sherman of Fuse has described the song as “huge rock and roll stuff!” and has highlighted the “classic All Time Low self-deprecating lyricism” as one of the track’s notable features. 

All Time Low was formed by high school friends Alex Gaskarth (vocals, rhythm guitar, and keyboards), Jack Barakat (lead guitar), Zack Merrick (bass) and Rian Dawson (drums) in 2003. They released their debut studio album “The Party Scene” in 2005. In 2006, the same year they graduated from high school, the guys dropped the EP “Put Up or Shut Up” under Hopeless Records and began touring. Their second full-length release “So Wrong, It’s Right” was released in 2007 and peaked at No. 6 on the US Independent Albums chart and the second single from the album “Dear Maria,” Count Me In was certified Gold despite never being played on the radio. Their most successful album to date is 2009’s “Nothing Personal” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Their subsequent releases, 2011’s “Dirty Work” and 2012’s “Don’t Panic” were almost equally as successful with both peaking at No. 6 on the same chart.

The guys from Maine will be returning for the first time since their sold-out headline stint in The 8123 Tour with This Century and Nick Santino held last Jan. 12, 2014 at SM Skydome. Comprised of John O’Callaghan (lead vocals, piano), Jared Monaco (lead guitar), Garrett Nickelsen (bass), Patrick Kirch (drums, percussion) and Kennedy Brock (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), the band has released two EPs, one holiday release and five albums. Their breakthrough 2010 album “Black & White” sold almost 23,000 copies upon a week of its release. The Maine’s 2013 record “Forever Halloween” debuted at No. 39 on the Billboard 200 charts. Their latest single English Girls debuted at No. 17 on the iTunes Alternative Chart.
