2000s Rock Band Released 'Album of the Year' 9 Years Ago Today

Nine years ago today, All Time Low released their seventh studio album, Last Young Renegade, a career-defining record which saw the beloved 2000s rock band soar high on music charts.

"We tried a lot of new things on this album, all within the context of what we love so much about All Time Low," singer Alex Gaskarth said of the album, per Alternative Press. "There's no denying that we were binge watching 'Stranger Things' at the time, while also reflecting on the loss of some of our favorite musicians; Prince, [David] Bowie,George Michael… I think the influence comes through in the best ways. We all felt pulled to exciting and different places as we searched for inspiration, approaching something that's become so familiar to us from a new direction."

Last Young Renegade steered in a different direction to the band's seven previous albums, while still remaining undeniably All Time Low. The punchy 2017 release enjoyed plenty of commercial success, reaching No. 9 on theBillboardHot 200 in the U.S. and No. 34 on the Official Albums Chart in the U.K. "Dirty Laundry," the record's lead single, peaked at No. 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Singles chart.

In October 2025, the band released their 10th album, Everyone's Talking!, and embarked on a mammoth world tour. Later this year, the four-piece will be headlining shows and festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe, including several dates at the iconic Vans Warped Tour - a rock music celebration that the band are very familiar with.

This month, the rockers are expanding their ventures with a foodie collaboration with Nantucket Crisps. The "Dear Maria, Count Me In" hitmakers chips, All Time Low's Bay Spice, is a love letter to the band's home state of Maryland. On June 7, the musicians will be performing a special acoustic concert on Nantucket, with proceeds going to Fairwinds-Nantucket's Behavioral Health Center and Nantucket Music Foundation.
