Whilst in the UK for a short, two-day promotional trip, Alter The Press! managed to sit down with All Time Low for once last time before heading back into the studio to finish work on their new album.
The band spoke to ATP about playing this year’s Bamboozle Roadshow, touring with Good Charlotte, the forthcoming new album and more.
Alter The Press: Welcome back. To what do we owe this pleasure?
Rian Dawson (drums): Our manager begging us.
Alex Gaskarth (vocals/guitar): A shit ton of hot British girls.
Rian: We hadn’t been over to the UK for a while, so we thought it would be nice to pop over and say hello to everyone again, at the regular outlets.
Jack Barakat (guitar): We also enjoy the “chocolat” over here. It’s much better then America.
Zack Merrick (bass): And our DVD just came out.
Alex: And ‘Weightless’ comes out here next week. Releases in Britain make no sense ever; it’s true. We were at the BBC today, doing ‘Weightless,’ which has been re-launched. And because it’s been re-launched, they’re re-releasing the single. It’s like, ‘You’re new single is out next week’ and we’re like, ‘No, it’s about a year old’.
(…)
ATP: How many tracks will be on the album?
Alex: It’s still up in the air. 10 or 12, I’d say.
ATP: Do you have an album title yet?
Alex: No.
Rian: If you have any ideas, let us know.
ATP: Self-titled.
Rian: That’s the cop out. If we end up doing that, you know it’s because we couldn’t think of anything.
ATP: Any guest appearances?
Jack: We can’t name any names.
Alex: It’s early. The record isn’t out till, probably, January; we don’t want to spoil anything.
Jack: Yes, Tom Delonge is rapping on the album!
Rian: There is 1 or 2.
ATP: Is the record still slated for January 2011?
Alex: Hopefully.
Rian: We are looking for early January.
ATP: When can we expect the first single?
Alex: Hopefully sometime before that; some time in the fourth quarter.
(…)
ATP: Thank you guys. Anything else you would like to add?
Alex: Continue to tune in. We love you guys.
Rian: We’re very excited for this new record.
All Time Low’s forthcoming new album will be released in January 2010 via Interscope Records.
