For "WAKE UP, SUNSHINE" the band went back to the roots (and to the basement): Over the course of 2019 the four musicians - Alex Gaskarth [vocals, guitar], Jack Barakat [guitar, vocals], Zack Merrick [bass, vocals] and Rian Dawson [drums] - gathered at Rian's studio in Nashville and a rented house in Palm Springs. Face to face, they wrote and recorded the 15 songs with co-writer, producer and creative partner Zakk Cervini. Guests include blackbear (in the song "Monsters") and The Band CAMINO (in "Favorite Place").
"WAKE UP, SUNSHINE" distils two decades of experience into a resolute and dynamic work, "We went back to where it all began," comments Alex Gaskarth. "It's been a long time since the four of us made an album under one roof. That became a central motif. We have been a band for 17 years. Everyone has contributed something. A lot of what you hear came out of those magical moments together." Jack Barakat agrees: "I think that we
have created something special together. We put our four heads together and recorded an exemplary all-time low album."
After the release of the new songs "Some Kine Of Disaster" and "Sleeping In" their new album "WAKE UP, SUNSHINE" will be released on April 3rd.
