All Time Low slaat nieuwe weg in met “Dirty Laundry”
All Time Low heeft vandaag de single “Dirty Laundry” met bijbehorende videoclip uitgebracht. De band zit tevens niet meer op Hopeless Records, maar bij Fueled By Ramen. Het label brengt o.a. muziek uit van Twenty One Pilots, Paramore en Chef’Special.
Met “Dirty Laundry” gaat de band een nieuwe muzikale richting in. Wat vind jij?
UPDATE: Frontman Alex Gaskarth heeft een statement op All Time Low’s Facebook pagina gezet, waarin hij bekent dat de band al bijna een jaar geleden tekende by Fueled By Ramen en uitlegt hoe “Dirty Laundry” tot stand is gekomen. Lees zijn verhaal hieronder.
Here we are. Ten years since our first official full-length debut, (nearly 14 years since we formed this band,) and we’re lucky enough to be sharing another chapter in the tale of All Time Low with the world. We couldn’t be more grateful than we are right now.
I hope you can forgive us, because we’ve been keeping secrets.
Since the beginning of last year, we have officially been signed to Fueled By Ramen records, the very first label we ever showcased for during our senior year of high school. It didn’t work out back then, and that’s ok (we probably blew it), but FBR has always felt like a second musical family to us through everything. From Hopeless Records, to Interscope, and back to Hopeless, we’ve come up listening to the bands on the FBR roster, working together on outside projects, watching with pride and admiration, looking forward to the moment when timing and purpose would align, affording us the chance to come in under their wing. So, here we are; a year spent in secret on a new label, writing songs and brainstorming for what comes next. I’m happy to say that we can finally deliver.
Dirty Laundry is a proud moment for me personally, a song written in the company of friends, torn apart and stitched back together several times over like all the best relationships… It’s about leaving the past where it belongs, and loving the people around you for not only their light, but their darkness too.
We shot the video with that in mind; inspired by a dream about the ups and downs that make us who we are, sometimes worn and tired, but better for it… alive and inspired. You can check out the song and watch the video at alltimelow.com . Our good friend Pat Tracy, who directed the ‘Missing You’ video helped us bring it to life, and we couldn’t be happier about where the story will go from here. Pay close attention. :)I hope you all love the song as much as I do. We’re ecstatic about everything we have lined up this year, and can’t wait to add this one to the set list as we get back out on the road. See you soon!
xo,
Alex
ps. Sending all our love and gratitude to the Hopeless Records family, without whom we wouldn’t be in this position now. Thank you for supporting us and breaking down wall after wall with us as we navigated this wild ride together. You guys have been incredible to work with over the years. Good people go far, which is why you all continue to crush it day in and day out. Thank you.
