Formation and Rise of All Time Low

Gaskarth began playing music with Jack Barakat in 2002. A year later, the two co-founded All Time Low, later joined by bassist Zack Merrick and drummer Rian Dawson. In 2004, the band signed their first recording contract with Emerald Moon Records and released their debut EP, The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End.

The following year, All Time Low released their debut studio album, The Party Scene (2005). Their popularity grew significantly with the release of the 2007 platinum single "Dear Maria, Count Me In," featured on their second album, So Wrong, It’s Right. In 2009, the band followed up with Nothing Personal, their third studio album. In 2011, All Time Low signed with Interscope Records and released their fourth album, Dirty Work.

Continued Success and Collaborations

In 2012, the band returned to Hopeless Records and released their fifth studio album, Don’t Panic. Their sixth album, Future Hearts, launched on April 7, 2015, and debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 75,000 copies in its first week. Gaskarth was instrumental in writing and composing many of the band's songs, contributing significantly to their sustained success.

Beyond his work with All Time Low, Alex Gaskarth has written music for several other artists, including 5 Seconds of Summer, McBusted, and Simple Plan. In 2013, he co-hosted the comedy and music podcast Full Frontal with Jack Barakat, further expanding his creative pursuits.
