Ryan- Nice, so talk about you know, what you go through when you perform, what you guys do before you get on the stage.


All Time Low: Jack- We’re nervous before we get on the stage for some reason. I don’t know why. We’re all like back there shaking behind the stage waiting. We’re all like, let’s let’s go-let’s go. I hate waiting-I hate waiting.


Ryan- Is this a large crowd, an abnormally large crowd for you guys to play in?

All Time Low:Alex- Um yeah, well we haven’t been doing this for too long on a national scale. We just uh, we just graduated from highschool this year so. This summer onwards has been the majority of our exposure to like the country. So uh thi definitely was a bigger show for us. The festivals are always a little nerve-racking just cause you know you’re often performing for people who would never usually see you so you’re trying to make a good impression.


All Time Low: Jack- There’s always like a bunch of bands watching you so you’re trying to impress everyone.


All Time Low: Alex- I was like fighting a cold at the same time to, so it was just the nerves were definitely going.

Ryan- Do you guys know what the surprise is?


All Time Low: Alex- We do, we do, but do they?


Ryan- Uh, well we’ll keep our mouths shut. Just in case. Um so you guys. You guys were talking about how you just graduated from highschool, when you got signed right out of highschool pretty much. What was that like?


All Time Low: Alex- Amazing. Perfect timing, um. I didn’t know what I really wanted to do with myself besides this so. You know, it all came together really well. And uh, I feel very lucky that it kind of…


All Time Low: Jack- We’re thinking, what would happen if we didn’t get signed cause we probably would be sitting at home right now playing video games.


Ryan- Ah, video games are cool. Dude what’s wrong with…


All Time Low: Alex- Now we get to tour the country and play music and play video games.


Ryan- Nice. Have you guys played Guitar Hero yet?

And they’re all pretty much trying to do what you guys are doing. I mean, what’s some advice that you guys can give? For these people that are trying to get out there?


All Time Low: Jack- What we’ve learned is that meeting people and just hanging out with people and being places that you can be and just making connections. It’s all about making connections.


All Time Low: Alex- It’s like, you just have to expose yourself. You have to really tour as much as possible. Um, the biggest thing is just meet as many people as you can. Make as many friends,.. make enemies,…you know, whatever. As long as you get your name out there.

Ryan- So you guys released a full length album in 2006 or 2005?

All Time Low: Alex- No, we uh. Yeah, we uh put out a full length independently in 2005, signed to Hopeless, then uh re-recorded some of the songs from that full lenght. Along with a couple new ones.
