All time low lead singer gay

Smart and sexy, the band members of All Time Low have grown up in the spotlight. Lead singer Alex Gaskarth spoke with QSaltLake about their latest album, what to expect at their show, and how they respond to criticism and protest from the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church.

Dirty Work is a terrific album. Was this a conscious effort, and was there any specific inspiration for the album? You signed to Interscope Records for your latest album. Has it been an adjustment? Well, it was like going from being big fish in a small pond to small fish in a pond full of sharks.

But the team we came into really appreciated our band and our sound. They also helped open doors in international markets and reach new fans. What can you tell me about that track in particular? Having the piano play such a heavy part of the song and adding the strings gave it more of a vaudeville sound.

A lot of talk has been made about the band maturing and since you guys started right out of high school we were able to watch you grow up. What do you think? How has your music changed?

Our influence has expanded to the pop and hip-hop world, and all kinds of music. A lot of tastes are driving us in different directions. There are people that were coming out when we were 17 and 18 years old, and we still see their faces at our shows. At the same time, our change in sound, direction, pace and popularity has brought in new, fresh faces from around the world.

Those are the fans that are going to stick around, and are not fickle. Is there anything different about people here? Utah is really cool. We recently played a radio festival. But now they understand the vibe and feel. They can expect a good time, a lot of energy.

Go and forget real life for a minute. Come vibe with us and have a great experience. The list of people and groups protesting your music is pretty extensive, including the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, which led a protest at one of your Philadelphia shows, how do you respond to the criticism and attacks?

We sort of have a lighthearted approach to things. Those groups are looking for us to say something back. It was really only when they came to our show that we were moved to say something. That kind of group and hatred certainly are not welcome at our shows. My biggest thing is stay who you are.

You should know there are people who will accept you for who you are.
