All Time Low at the Youtube Theater in Inglewood
Everyone’s Talking. What are they chatting about these days? It’s a new album and tour from ALL TIME LOW, the 10th studio album from the kings of pop punk by way of Maryland. The band brought its huge tour to Inglewood, California at the Youtube Theater in front of a raucous audience in attendance. The tour kicked off with The Paradox, a group formed in Atlanta and bringing a new energy to the pop punk scene. These young kids have an incredible future, and deliver on youthful, upbeat music from a style akin to older Blink 182 that fans can really sink into.
Up next was Las Vegas, Nevada’s The Cab. It’s been quite awhile since we’ve seen this band, 2015 to be exact. Through member shifts, and everything else a band may go through in it’s lifetime, the band got back together in 2019 to write new music, and have really taken to the road these days, showcasing their incredible musicianship, growth as band, and delivering an incredible live show heavy on hooks, power, and fun. The night literally turning into an issue of Alternative Press, in 2008.
Hot on the heels of releasing Sweet, a first installment of a three part album this year, Mayday Parade took to the stage and turned the dial up in the venue, bringing in a huge segment of the audience to sing their hearts out and reminisce all the hooks and bops this band has in its repertoire. The command of lead singer Derek Sanders is immense, as every person was singing along to his wonderfully beautiful vocals. The band live is a powerhouse.
ALL TIME LOW took to the stage in a very low key way, with singer / guitarist Alex Gaskarth coming out to croon acoustically, a single spotlight on him, before the band took to the stage and exploded into songs off of Everyone’s Talking. The songs are explosively fun and catchy, with bit more bravado and punk enthusiasm behind them. Drummer Rian Dawson really lays into his custom drum kit, adding more punch into each stick lick and kick. A lot of punk attitude comes out of guitarist Jack Barakat and bassist Zachary Merrick, whose well timed jumps during songs and an apropro middle finger to the system showcases the bands youthful bratty attitude, even at this stage of their game.
All Time Low are still out on the road for the Everyone’s Talking Tour across the US and Canada. Check ’em out.

Buffalo Traffic Jam at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
There is something magical about voices matching the season. The excitement of walking up to the Danforth Music Hall on the perfect autumn night, only to be engulfed in raw, emotive rasp.
Lydia Maes really pulled me in. There’s such an emotional quality to her voice. The way she incorporates the saxophone and the way she hypnotizes the crowd. She played a beautiful set and then later came out with her fiddle, to join Buffalo Traffic Jam.
Colin Lynch completely caught me off guard, with a voice that sounds like he sells out stadiums. He’s young, but that soulful, raspy, depth speaks to every age.
Then came the one and only Buffalo Traffic Jam. Gritty, earthy harmonies took over the Danforth and the crowd was electrified. There’s something about their sound that feels both stripped down and warm at the same time, and the moment they started, we were all at their mercy.

Sabaton Bring Fire and Fury to Vancouver on North American Tour Finale
After many many years away from Vancouver, Sabaton returned to the PNE Forum on October 8 for a fiery night of heavy metal, military-themed theatrics and massive sing-alongs. The Swedish metal band chose the city to close out its North American tour, and it went out with a bang.
Opening the night was Pop Evil, whose modern hard rock offered a different sound from the headliner’s power metal. Tracks like “Trenches” brought plenty of energy, giving the crowd a reason to get moving before the main event. Their heavier riffs and commanding stage presence made for a solid start to the evening despite the low lighting.
Sabaton wasted little time making its return count. Kicking off with “Ghost Division,” the band delivered a wall of sound backed by pounding drums, sharp guitar riffs and bursts of fire that lit up the Forum. The stage, complete with military-inspired hardware, gave the performance the feel of a full-scale production rather than a standard metal concert.
Frontman Joakim Brodén led the charge with his unmistakable voice and natural sense of showmanship. Songs like “The Last Stand,” “Stormtroopers” and “Night Witches” showcased the band’s knack for turning historical stories into anthems built for thousands of voices. The crowd happily did its part, singing along throughout the night.
The spectacle never distracted from the music. Flames punctuated the band’s heaviest moments, adding extra intensity to “Bismarck,” “Fields of Verdun” and “The Attack of the Dead Men.” For the latter, the band leaned into the song’s subject matter with gas masks, adding another theatrical touch to an already explosive set.
The closing stretch was pure Sabaton. “Swedish Pagans” brought another huge audience sing-along before “Primo Victoria” and “To Hell and Back” sent the Forum into the night at full volume.
After seven years, Sabaton gave Vancouver plenty of reasons to welcome them back. Closing the North American tour with a performance this tight, loud and entertaining was a fitting end to the run. With commanding vocals, memorable choruses and enough pyro to warm the entire Forum, the band left little doubt that its next visit cannot come soon enough.
