Jack twerks (and everything else All Time Low did in October)
All Time Low kicked off the Back To The Future Hearts tour with support from Sleeping With Sirens, Neck Deep and ONE OK ROCK earlier this month, but that isn’t the only thing the headliners have been up to in October. Head below to review your favorite moments and catch up on the ones you may have missed.
Oct. 1, 6:01 p.m.: Rian Dawson lends his drumming skills to the upcoming Andy Black record.
Andy Biersack has been hard at work on his debut solo album, and he enlisted the help of Dawson on a few tracks with the producer John Feldmann (5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low) at the controls. Dawson recently signed to Self Titled Management as a producer, so it looks like he will be gracing more artists with his presence on other projects in the near future.
@AndyBVB ah sweet memories. pic.twitter.com/mwemNdgUwE

Oct. 1, 6:36 p.m.: Dawson taunts Biersack with a football reference
Clearly the duo hit it off enough to discuss their hometown teams the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. You know, because rivalries.
#FullFrontal is going LIVE!! We’ll be doing sessions in cities around the country! Info here: http://t.co/rQ2NUnp5hh pic.twitter.com/k4NnW4vEYx
— Full Frontal Podcast (@FullFrontal) October 2, 2015
Oct. 2, 10:19 a.m.: Full Frontal goes live and in-person
Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat’s live Idobi radio-show-turned-podcast is taking the beauty of their onstage banter, and just cutting away the performance. Think of it as a warm-up to prepare you for the full show.
.@AllTimeLow gave us the inside scoop on @ABCFamily‘s new movie, #FanGirl: http://t.co/8rDMZZlAuD pic.twitter.com/tJFEw3CHBP
— MTV (@MTV) October 2, 2015
Oct. 2, 4:41 p.m.: Gaskarth talks to MTV about being part of ABC Family movie Fan Girl
The band announced in September that they would be involved in the project, but Gaskarth gave all the details you’d been waiting for: how it was inspired by the screenwriter’s real-life fan girl daughter to how important Cartwheel and Instee (stand-ins for Tumblr and Instagram) are in this movie’s pop-punk scene.
Oct. 3, 1:05 a.m.: Jack’s Night Out
Barakat embraced the blurry, drunk night out photo-op in a bar he owns and then did the only logical thing by then posting it to social media for all to see.
@JackAllTimeLow I couldn’t agree more

Oct. 3, 8:26 p.m.: Fan Boy(s)
Meg Ryan plays the mom of a fan girl in the ABC Family flick featuring the band, and it appears the guys are fans, too.
Oct. 3, 9 p.m.: Fan Girl premieres on ABC Family
Don Draper’s daughter ditched the shift dresses and go-go boots for Glamour Kills tees … and a dress … and a crew neck. Kiernan Shipka channeled all of our 15-year-old selves in this real life portrayal of Tumblr fandom as an aspiring filmmaker just trying to get the attention of her #MCM.

In Orlando for a week. Tryna get my Harry Potter on
— Jack Barakat (@JackAllTimeLow) October 5, 2015
Oct. 5, 10:37 a.m.: You’re a wizard, Jack.
The band’s first stop on the Back To The Future Hearts tour was Orlando, Florida and it was destined to be magical before they ever hit the stage.
Gear is packed up & headed to Orlando for #BackToTheFutureHearts Tour; can’t wait! http://t.co/qJ6wx0G5TJ https://t.co/vDZK4RjbkT
— All Time Low (@AllTimeLow) October 5, 2015
Oct. 5, 1:24 p.m.: The band post a time lapse video of their gear being packed up for tour
I’m sure the internet has never been more stoked about boxes being loaded into a Rockstar Energy Drink truck than right now.
Making a completely new set for the first time in a while! New tour, new songs , new dance moves, same sorry ass dick
— Jack Barakat (@JackAllTimeLow) October 5, 2015
Oct. 5, 1:43 p.m.: Barakat is a tease
We’re all clearly going for the dance moves, right?
Killed my laptop with a glass of wine last night. RIP little buddy 🙁
— Halloween Gaskarth (@AlexAllTimeLow) October 7, 2015
Oct. 7, 3:29 p.m.: Gaskarth murders his laptop
Apparently it was Tipsy Tuesday in the Gaskarth household.
Oct 8, 5:48 p.m.: Dawson is the world’s fastest drummer
If this is just rehearsals, we can’t wait to see the live show (because clearly there was no editing in the making of this video).
So happy to announce that we’ll be playing at the #R1TeenAwards for @BBCR1!!! pic.twitter.com/HdtrhFfZEa
— All Time Low (@AllTimeLow) October 9, 2015
Oct. 9, 7:31 a.m.: The guys announce their performance at BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards
They’ll be hitting the stage with 5 Seconds Of Summer Nov. 8 at The SSE Arena in Wembley, which is basically every pop-punk fan’s dream.

Oct. 9, 9:15 p.m.: The Back To The Future Hearts tour kicks off in Orlando.
All Time Low hit the road with Sleeping With Sirens, Neck Deep and ONE OK ROCK—a lineup guaranteed to fill venues with hordes of screaming fans.
.@AlexAllTimeLow & @Kellinquinn talk #BackToTheFutureHearts Tour! http://t.co/qJ6wx0G5TJ for tickets! Don’t miss it https://t.co/rR2S7Y2HcJ
— All Time Low (@AllTimeLow) October 10, 2015
Oct. 9, 7:14 p.m.: On Fridays, we wear grey
Did Kellin Quinn and Gaskarth call each other ahead of time to color coordinate their skinny jeans for this tour video…or did it just work out that way?
Hell of a way to start off the tour. Also love this new set list. Whole buncha fuck yeahs
— Jack Barakat (@JackAllTimeLow) October 10, 2015
Oct. 10, 12:07 a.m.: Barakat divulges a big tour secret
There will be a lot of profanity. The fans are shocked.
Absolutely insane show tonight, Orlando!! Thank you! Best way to start a tour. Here’s a cake #BackToTheFutureHearts pic.twitter.com/eG0elPfu4Y
— Halloween Gaskarth (@AlexAllTimeLow) October 10, 2015
Oct. 10, 12:31 a.m.: Let them eat cake
The University of Central Florida’s CFE Arena gave the guys a DeLorean!
…just kidding. But it looks pretty good in cake form, eh?
Oct. 11, ?:?? p.m.: Jack twerks
Barakat gave Miley Cyrus a run for her money on the Charlotte, North Carolina, stop of the tour. The only difference obviously being that she had a foam finger and he had a guitar to balance.
Season 5 of #FullFrontal starts NOW w/ #DrinkingWithDolphins! Listen via @iTunes: http://t.co/ej0bAJ0a3h pic.twitter.com/JrNa52yaoo
— Full Frontal Podcast (@FullFrontal) October 12, 2015
Oct. 12, 1:49 p.m.: Full Frontal’s fifth season kicks off
Gaskarth and Barakat’s podcast has the duo playing chubby bunny within the first few minutes of its season five premiere. Clearly we’re all in for an interesting season.
This is one of the nicest venues I’ve ever been to. Well done. Come hang with us tonight at Ascend Amphitheater. pic.twitter.com/TDRMgcyjtl
— Rian Dawson (@riandawson) October 13, 2015
Oct. 13, 12:36 p.m.: Let me see your grill
Dawson shows off his pearly whites in front of the Ascend Ampitheater in his soon-to-be hometown.

— Doug The Pug (@itsdougthepug) October 14, 2015
Oct. 14, 12:10 p.m.: Party like a pugstar
Apparently when Doug The Pug isn’t too busy recreating old Fall Out Boy videos, he hangs out with 50 percent of All Time Low (and is so not amused by the possibility of being licked).
Oct. 16, 1:17 p.m.: Welcome to Houston
For a band who love onstage dick joke banter, this was almost too perfect of a dressing room setup for their first live Full Frontal performance.
The first episode of #FullFrontalLive is here!! #OiledUp is on @iTunes now: http://t.co/ej0bAJ0a3h #FullFrontal pic.twitter.com/Hoa1N8zHeU

Oct. 19, 12:09 p.m.: Oiled Up
The first episode of Full Frontal Live is posted for everyone who wasn’t lucky enough to see Barakat, Gaskarth and Dawson drink mimosas and talk in-person at the Improv in Houston.
I just love them so much ❤️ @AllTimeLow pic.twitter.com/mJ8458pMZZ
— Cassadee Pope (@CassadeePope) October 19, 2015
Oct. 19, 3:31 p.m.: Genres collide
Country star (and former Hey Monday vocalist) Cassadee Pope posed with the band at a recent tour stop. She’s been dating our sweetheart Dawson for a few years, but it still feels like 2009 all over again.
At the lovely @tempeimprov for Full Frontal LIVE! What a nice venue, hope to see you all here soon. Starts at 1:00. pic.twitter.com/fTs4FA7sN4
— Rian Dawson (@riandawson) October 20, 2015
Oct. 20, 11:39 a.m.: Barakat and Dawson have a hearty breakfast
It looks like downing mimosas before Full Frontal Live is going to become a trend on this tour.
Oct. 20, 11:56 a.m.: Front-facing phenomenon
SPOTTED: A rare Zack Merrick Instagram selfie in his natural habitat.
Oct 20, 2015 at 2:46 p.m.: Hotline Bling
Apparently Gaskarth gets down to Drake from the back of Uber cars. The more you know.
Nibblin’ on @riandawson �� @thomasfalcone pic.twitter.com/E3eBDXomJf
— Halloween Gaskarth (@AlexAllTimeLow) October 22, 2015
Oct. 22, 3:00 p.m.: Gaskarth (thinks he and) Dawson are gettin’ cozy
However, Dawson looks straight-up terrified.
Big thanks to @jasonfitzshow for having me on to talk Ravens this week! Great dude with a great podcast. https://t.co/1pEDxh4NaY
— Rian Dawson (@riandawson) October 23, 2015
Oct. 23, 8:37 a.m.: Dawson talks sports
That hometown pride clearly runs deep.
Congrats to the 5sos dudes! #SoundsGoodFeelsGood is here! Thanks for letting me be a part of it once again, lads! pic.twitter.com/XMb5c1ThE1
— Halloween Gaskarth (@AlexAllTimeLow) October 23, 2015
Oct. 23, 11:14 a.m.: Gaskarth is a proud co-writer
5 Seconds Of Summer’s second full-length, Sounds Good Feels Good, hit the physical and digital shelves, and Gaskarth was quick to support with a shameless plug of the track he co-wrote. Because that’s what Twitter is for, right?
Ran into some hookers! pic.twitter.com/SkpBqbWLVM
— Jack Barakat (@JackAllTimeLow) October 23, 2015
Oct. 23, 2:24 p.m.: ATL, 5SOS and a pop-punk photo-op
I’m assuming this is the equivalent of girls calling each other “bitch” and “slut” in that sarcastically endearing way.
This was fucking amazing to watch. @alltimelow ft @Michael5SOS pic.twitter.com/KGIRAtqIo6
— 5 Seconds of Summer (@5SOS) October 24, 2015
Oct. 23, 11:18 p.m.: Michael Clifford jumps on stage in Los Angeles
The 5 Seconds Of Summer guitarist hit the stage with the guys at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall for “Dear Maria, Count Me In.” Clifford joins the hallowed likes of Aaron Gillespie at Warped Tour 2009 and Set It Off’s Cody Carson when it comes to making a live cameo on the long-standing set closer.
Oct 23, 11:30 p.m.: Frontmen and Feldmann
Gaskarth joins Quinn and ONE OK ROCK’s Taka for a prime selfie shot with producer John Feldmann at the Los Angeles stop of the Back To The Future Hearts tour. Move over, Ellen. Your Oscar selfie has nothing on this.
You voted @AllTimeLow‘s #Weightless as Your Greatest 21st Century Rock Anthem! https://t.co/nOuU6gO3sJ #MTVRocktober pic.twitter.com/gnm7NtfIEp
— MTV Music (@MTVMusicUK) October 24, 2015
Oct. 24, 12:00 p.m.: All Time Low wins Greatest 21st Century Rock Anthem
Thanks to MTV and their Rocktober contest, now we know “Weightless” is the best rock anthem. The pop-punkers beat out former tourmates such as Pierce The Veil and Fall Out Boy for the fan-voted honor.
Oct 26, 9:55 p.m.: Dawson channels the Hulk
We’re imagining he turned green and completely damaged his clothes and drum kit immediately following this shot.
Oct. 27, 9:31 p.m.: Dawson meets his No. 1 fan
She even has the shirt to prove it.
I’m SO good at sleeping in.
— Alexander William (@AlexAllTimeLow) October 29, 2015
Oct. 29, 11:46 a.m.: Gaskarth is SO good at sleeping in
In case you were wondering—because that’s obviously some need-to-know information.
Someone decorated our front lounge all spooky and I’m the happiest ������ pic.twitter.com/V3E5UYoa4E

Oct. 29, 12:14 p.m.: Tour busses can get spooky too
Tis the season for cobwebs and severed hands.
.@joshuadun snapchats me while he’s pooping so I’m voting for him
— Jack Barakat (@JackAllTimeLow) October 30, 2015
Oct. 29, 5:26 p.m.: Barakat votes
twenty one pilots held their own hilarious version of a political debate, and Barakat put his two cents in because obviously the winner should be comfortable with Snapchatting his entire life story.
Aloha Friday pic.twitter.com/202XBGUv03

Oct. 30, 2:17 p.m.: Apparently it was “Aloha Friday”
A.k.a. “dress like a dad trying to be hip on a Hawaiian getaway” day.
