All Time Low Frontman Responds To Fan’s Suspension Over Band Photo

By 6 Comments

Alex Gaskarth, frontman for All Time Low has responded to a recent report that a fan in the band’s home state of Maryland was given a three day suspension from her middle school for displaying this photo on her  binder.

“Personally, I’m a little upset that anyone would find that picture to be ‘offensive.’ We tried our very hardest to look as sexy as possible and I think that maybe the administrative figures responsible for suspending the student were just jealous of our dashing, young physiques. I don’t see any harm in carrying that particular picture around in a school environment. In fact, I’ve been speculating that studies may prove that the picture actually stimulates brain activity, and promotes greater levels of success in the classroom. But that’s just one theory…”

All Time Low’s So Wrong It’s Right will be released Tuesday, September 25 on Hopeless Records. Catch All Time Low on tour with Boys Like Girls starting September 29th.
