All Time Low: EVERYBODYS TALKING TOUR
The appropriately named “Everybody’s Talking” tour from All Time Low featuring Mayday Parade, Four Year Strong, and The Paradox was one of true pop-punk nostalgia. The stop over at UPMC Events Center on November 19 was a must for any fan of the year 2005. Being able to see some of the top names in this genre all with a room full of old-school emo kids is a blessing on its own.
Opening the show first was newer band The Paradox, a mix of core pop-punk anger and modern hip hop nuances. Think heavy riffs over more melodic vocals that float over top.
Four Year Strong, a band more on the hardcore side, follows this up with a pit for the ages. It’s a time for moshing to begin as the members take the audience through years of heavy breakdowns. These guys are a throwback for the ones who always went to Warped Tour.
The third opener, Mayday Parade has the power to pull together an entire crowd just by playing their hits “Jersey” and “Jamie All Over.” This band has been around the scene for a long time and there’s no doubt you’ve heard a song or two of theirs on the radio. Their energy is infectious from singer Derek Sanders to guitarist Brooks Betts and all the rest, too.
At the end of the day though, it’s obvious this crowd is here to see all eras of All Time Low come to life. After 22 years together, there are many layers to this band but their set manages to hit on them all. Whether you’re there for the songs from the beginning years like “Time-Bomb” or brand new ones like “SUCKERPUNCH,” you’re bound to hear something you like. One of the best parts of an All Time Low concert though is the party vibe. Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Zack Merrick, and Rian Dawson all carry an energy that’s similar to walking down Fremont Street in Vegas. It’s all flashy lights, big personalities, and good times. But, don’t be led astray, there are tender moments as well. It all creates a story of love and heartbreak alongside the highs and lows of life.
The “Everybody’s Talking” tour from All Time Low is one that chronicles their history. It’s a show that reminds audiences of their place in pop-punk and a chance for these audience to disappear back to high school again when all that mattered was eyeliner, CDs, and hair dye.

WITCH CLUB SATAN THE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL TRIO CAME TO BALTIMORE AND NOT ONLY DID THEY SLAY THEY TOOK NO MERCY ON THE CROWD WITH THEIR ENTICING MUSIC.
THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME TOURING AMERICA AND THEY WERE AWESOME. ADDING FOLKLORE,WITCHCRAFT AND VISUAL ENTERTAINMENT, WCS BARES IT ALL FOR THE CROWD. I LOVED THE DIFF STYLES OF MUSIC FROM SPOKEN WORD TO DEATH METAL TO TRASH METAL THE BAND REALLY BLEW ME AWAY.
SONGS LIKE WILD WHORES, I WAS MADE BY FIRE, BLACK METAL IS KRIG, FRESH BLOOD/FRESH PUSSY AND SOLACE SISTERS. WCS PUT ON A SHOW THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED, WITH SOME BANDS USING THEATRICS AND GIMMICKS AS AN EXCUSE FOR MUSICIANSHIP, THIS BAND IS LEGIT AND TAKES YOU ON A JOURNEY FROM HIGH TO LOW. YES AT TIMES IT COULD BE SHOCKING WITH BLOOD AND SATANIC IMAGES AND NUDITY BUT THEN AGAIN THATS ALSO WHAT MAKES THE MESSAGE EVEN MORE POWERFUL.

Electric Callboy came into the Maryland/DC area at the MGM Harbor and brought fans of all ages—from old to young—along for the ride. They were joined on this tour by Scene Queen and Polaris.
Scene Queen delivered a seriously fun set. She’s fully embraced what she’s coined as “bimbocore,” and I absolutely love it—and so do the fans. The crowd was already moshing and crowd surfing early on, and they kept that energy going all night long.
Polaris, from Australia, brought the metal. This was my first time seeing them, and they absolutely brought the kind of raw energy that drove the crowd wild. They played a killer set and are definitely a band to keep your eyes on.
Electric Callboy was the headliner, and they brought the rabid fans with them. Lots of people were dressed up in signature Callboy attire, and it’s been a while since I’ve seen so many young kids in a metal show crowd. Between all the costume changes, confetti, and streamers, Callboy delivered a killer set. They always put on a hell of a show—and always leave me questioning Germany: why haven’t you chosen them as your Eurovision entry?
We got to hear songs like “Hypa Hypa,” “We Got the Moves,” “Pump It,” “Hurrikan,” and many more. They also had an intimate moment during the set, right in the middle of the crowd, with a piano—performing acoustic versions of “Fuckboi” and a cover of “Everytime We Touch.”
The entire show was amazing—such a fun and wildly entertaining spectacle. I can’t wait to see them again.

Infected Rain is now on tour with Stitched Up Heart and Blackwater Drowning and made a stop at Zen West with local kick ass band Anoxia.
The night crackled with electric energy and thrummed with unforgettable music. I loved that every band on the lineup featured powerful female vocalists—each with her own distinct style and stage presence, yet all of them fierce, commanding, and absolutely a force to be reckoned with.
It was an absolute thrill to see Lena and Infected Rain again. I love how they continue to evolve as a band and as a core of incredible artists every time I catch them live. I’ve been a fan for many years, and I always relish watching them perform—especially the way Lena connects with the crowd and her fans, which goes far beyond what most musicians ever offer. I would love to see them chosen as Moldova’s Eurovision entry, because we desperately need more rock and metal represented on that stage.
If this tour is rolling into your city, do yourself a favor and go check it out. It’s a phenomenal live show—the bands don’t just kick ass on stage, but they also happen to be some of the nicest, coolest people you’ll ever meet. You will not be disappointed. Plus, they’ve got some seriously killer merch that you absolutely need to snag while you’re there.
