To find out what other bands fans of All Time Low like, we went on Amazon and looked up what people who bought All Time Low albums were also buying. As we guessed, they were mainly other albums by other pop-punk bands.
We chose 3 of these bands to look into: Mayday Parade, blink-182 and Paramore.
Mayday Parade
Mayday Parade are a band from the same generation as All Time Low and therefore are a good band to look at when considering the modern styles.
In this shot of the band we get a good idea of the style of these bands. Long hair seems to be prominent, but a couple of the band also have shorter, styled hair. All of the band are wearing jeans, some light, some dark. The frontman is wearing plaid shirt, there rest are in t-shirts, with one of them in a v-neck.
blink-182
Recently re-formed pop-punk band blink-182 are one of the main inspirations to the modern scene. They were at their peak in the late 90's and although the styles have changed since then, they all draw their inspiration from here.
This album cover for blink-182's live album, The Mark, Tom & Travis Show, the band is drawn performing live as cartoons. Cartoons are used as there is more artistic freedom to be silly in cartoons than there is in a photograph, and the pop-punk genre has a large amount of silliness and fun attached to it. Although this is only a drawing, the styles are accurate. The drummer usually plays topless and the other two stick to t-shirts. They all usually wear shorts, and skate shoes and have shorter, styled hair. They all have either tattoo's or piercings.
Paramore
This video for That's What You Get for Paramore shows more of the style of bands of this genre. The guys are wearing jeans and casual shirts/t-shirts and hoodys. The video also helps when working out a good ratio of band shots to storyline shots.
