Celebrating the release of their new album, 'Everyone's Talking!,' All Time Low joined us inside the Helpful Honda Sound Space in Los Angeles for an exclusive performance for a room full of fans, along with an interview where the band unpacks their latest project and more.
'Everyone's Talking!' arrived earlier this month, marking All Time Low's 10th studio album, featuring the new single, "The Weather." ATL will also continue their tour across America through the end of November before taking the trek international. You can find the full list of dates here.
19 years since their debut album, Miles the DJ asked the band if there are ever conversations about continuing to grind it out in the same way they have for nearly 2 decades. "I think going into making this album, there was that conversation," shares Alex Gaskarth. "I think this many years into a career and this many albums into a career, there's that moment that you confront yourself in the mirror and you kind of go, 'does the world need another All Time Low record or have we told all the stories that we need to tell,' you know what I mean?"
"I think we face that every time we sit down to start a new creative process, but last year we spent the year kind of doing these 20 year celebration shows and that put us in this frame of mind that we were just so appreciative and grateful for the fact that people were rallying around this band the way they were, and celebrating all the eras and all the albums, and we were like, 'look, I think there's more in the tank.'"
"We either write a record or do happy 17 years of 'So Wrong, It's Right' or something," jokes Jack Barakat. "Make up anniversaries."

Imagine Dragons joined us for a special performance and interview in the Helpful Honda Sound Space to give fans a preview of their brand new album LOOM, upcoming tour dates, and more. With the arrival of their brand new, sixth studio album LOOM, Imagine Dragons dropped by Audacy's KROQ in Los Angeles to give fans a taste of the new record, as well as what to expect from the band on their impending tour which kicks off at the end of July. LOOM is available now. Looking back on the band's relationship with KROQ, frontman Dan Reynolds remembers the first time he heard their music played on the radio back in 2012, recalling they were driving from Las Vegas to L.A. to play a show. “We were just getting in range to pick up the station and -- this sounds like such a made-up story, it's so dramatic -- it was fuzzy," he says as their single "It's Time," came through the speakers. "We were just racing as fast as we could to kind of get a better signal to hear it. It was straight out of a movie. We were all just like, ‘This feels too weird.’” 12 years after their debut, the group just released their sixth studio album, LOOM, and are feeling familiar excitement and relief now that it’s finally been delivered. “You know, when you make a record -- you're working on it for over a year, sometimes two years," Reynolds says. "So, we've been sitting with this music for a long time, and it's really hard for us to sit on that. I hate it, I'm always anxious about it, waiting. So we've been counting down the days for a long time… It's a relief and we also are really proud and excited about this record and we hope everybody likes it as much as we do.” “You have given me purpose and a place to sing and dance,” Dan stated when announcing the new offering. “You have continually stood by our side now for over a decade. in return we will always be here singing along with you. I always and only hope that it helps you feel less alone. It brings you joy. makes you cry. makes you angry. makes you dance. makes you FEEL something.” “I've just spent a lot of my life numb,” he tells us. “I had a hard time expressing myself. That's why I turned to music in the first place -- I found that it was something I could always turn to and feel any emotion. I'm kind of one of those people who doesn't cry for a long time and then when you cry, you just cry really hard in a long time. Or, when you get angry you're really angry because you've been holding it in, and that's really unhealthy. I did that for a long time,” he admits. “Now I'm just angry all the time, I cry all the time,” he laughs. “But only a little bit angry,” bassist Ben McGee adds. Guitarist Wayne Sermon says of the new record, “The album cover itself, you don't even know if it's necessarily a sunrise or a sunset… The word ‘Loom,’ it can be a positive or negative connotation just depending on what's going on.
