When Maryland pop-punk veterans All Time Low (Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Zack Merrick and Rian Dawson) released their eighth studio album
Wake Up, Sunshine in April 2020, they couldn’t have predicted it would turn out to produce the biggest radio hit of their career.

Four months later, “Monsters” broke out of the alternative sphere and became ATL’s second-ever Hot 100 chart entry, reaching No. 67 “Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don t)” being their sole entry in 2009 where it’s peaked at No. 64, as of this week s Feb. 13-dated chart.
Laura Ohls, senior editor, folk and AAA, Spotify: I’ve always thought of “alternative” as referring to any artist creating music that challenges what’s being popularized in the mainstream, across all genres.

As a result, there is an amalgamation of genres that make up modern “alternative” sounds.
