Before they venture to the second half of warped tour, All Time Low did a small unnamed tour to promote their newest album, Nothing Personal. All Time Low took the stage on July 16th at the Cleveland House of Blues, a familiar venue for the Maryland punk-pop quartet.
Days Difference will be their first opening act. Although the crowd failed to realize their musical talents, this Virginia based band of two sets of brothers, had amazing stage chemistry, and towards the end of their set the crowd noticed this as well. The crowd decided to thank Days Difference by crushing the person standing infront of them as much as possible to try to hold the hand of frontman and keyboard player, Jeremy Smith.
Cartel was next to take the stage, giving an okay performance. Not sure if it was their time-frame, or the idea that they were opening for kids younger than them, but something was missing. The crowd seemed more focused on pushing upfront than the music.
We the Kings will follow. They are no strangers to the All Time Low fans. They had amazing chesmistry with the crowd, which was helped by frontman, Travis Clark's promoting of a crowd surfing contest.
Finally, the sheet is taken off of the drum kit that we all wanted to see. We hear an electronic message introducing the reason for the gathering. Maryland export, All Time Low. Cell Phones and cameras pop up, and bras start flying as they burst into 'Lost in Stereo' from their new record. Having great chemistry all throughout with each other and with the crowd, the band was able to blow away the entire venue. Frontman, Alex Gaskarth, sounds more amazing live than on the newest album under their belt. After frequent exchanging of dick jokes with lead guitarist, Jack Barakat, and calling out drummer, Rian Dawson for messing up a song, they leave the stage. The crowd wasn't ready to let them go, and for good reason. No one was ready to call it night, including the band, because they came out for an encore. Despite the musical flubs throughout the show, they gave a great performance, and gave the kids their moneys worth. Let us wish them luck, and hope for an equally amazing show during their warped tour dates!
