All Time Low/Man Overboard/Hand Guns

What is it about pop punk shows that makes fans so excited? Last year at House of Blues, All Time Low had the sold-out crowd cheering for everything: the band’s old work and its new work. Fans came obviously prepared and sang along word for word with new tunes such as “The Reckless and the Brave.” Surprisingly, though, the set wasn’t mostly about the new stuff and was filled with proven favorites. Expect the same thing this time around as the group plays tonight on what it’s calling the A Love Like Tour. (Nikki Hunt)
