"Don't Panic" Album Review
BY: KC Brown
Absolute Punk wrote that "Don’t Panic" is All Time Low’s “best album to date” and they weren’t stretching the truth. "Don’t Panic" is All Time Low’s fifth album and the best by far. After the split from Interscope, All Time Low returned to Hopeless Records where they have had their most success. It’s obvious that they went for a more mature sound with this album. The diversity and lyrics are proof. The album starts out with “The Reckless and the Brave,” an anthem about leaving suburbia and making it as a band. Going along with that, in “So Long Soldier” Gaskarth sings about coming to the United States from England and All Time Low’s journey as a band by saying, “You can’t shake the noise from their bones." Many songs are about staying young and living in the moment such as “Outlines,” “For Baltimore,” and “Somewhere In Never Land” where they write about “Sticking it out and trying to feel forever young." In contrast, “Thanks To You," “Paint You Wings,” “To Live and Let Go,” and “Let Me Be” are about being used, moving on, and being your own person. It wouldn’t be an All Time Low album without a song about a one night stand, which is “Backseat Serenade.” Cassadee Pope, formerly of Hey Monday, provides vocals for "Backseat Serenade." On a more personal note, Gaskarth writes about missing someone and how he “Can’t sleep without you pressed up against me.” Not only are the lyrics well written, but the instrumental music is flawless. This album shows All Time Low headed in a new, more mature direction.

Interview with Alex Wiese of Jocelyn
BY: Liza Boodhansingh
Q: Introduce yourself and your role in the band.
A: My name is Alex Wiese, I play bass for Jocelyn.
Q: How did you come up with your name?
A: Jocelyn is whoever people need her to be. So, the reason we have a band phone number, is because we believe that everybody has a story and it's important that somebody is always listening. We respond to every single text and voicemail we get.
Q: Describe your music.
A: Jocelyn is mainstream pop/rock - very similar to bands like Cartel, Yellowcard, or the Downtown Fiction.
Q: Pick one of your songs and tell me what it is about.
A: Our song "Everything (I Want to Know)" is that final step in a relationship, when you have all but given up on someone turning their life around and being the person you so desperately want and know they can be. Hence the lyrics "I gave up on us baby but don't do the same. Even though it hurts you to tell, everything I want to know."
Q: What can fans expect when they see Jocelyn live?
A: We have yet to play a full band live show. Our marketing strategy right now has been extremely promotional based, and trying to get our name and faces out there as fast as we can. So, I'm not exactly sure, but we'll all be in for a wild ride as we find our live show identity together. The only thing I can guarantee is a LOT of time to hang out when we're off the stage. We're going to set a new standard for being accessible and interested in learning people's stories. We have no use for a green room because there's no reason to be hidden behind stage when you should be meeting the people who have paid to see you.
Q: What have you found to be the biggest challenge so far as an artist? How have you dealt with that challenge?
A: The hardest part is covering all the bases. Starting a band from scratch is just like running a small business, plus you have to be talented and constantly improve your craft. You have to know logistics, marketing, management, taxes, government bureaucracy and much more. There's a never ending list of things to do.
Q: If you could tour with anyone, what bands would be on your dream tour?
A: Anberlin, Mayday Parade, and the Starting Line.
Q: Tell me the number one thing on your bucket list.
A: Raise a family.
Q: If you were a Disney princess, which princess would you be?
A: Princess? haha How about Prince Charming, we'll go with that ;)
Q: If you were a dinosaur, what kind would you be?
A: Pterodactyl, for sure
Q: Is there anything else that you would like to add for 1 a.m. Media?
A: People matter and your story is important. Do not be afraid to pick up the phone and shoot us a message for whatever reason. We're always available. 319.804.9727
"People matter. Your story is important. Join the circle."
Make sure to pick up Jocelyn's EP, "To You and Yours," on iTunes!
