Jack Barakat On His New Project: "Each Song Represents A Different Stage Of Break-Up Grief"

After teasing his new side-project yesterday, All Time Low guitarist Jack Barakat has now unveiled more details on the band – and how it'll show an entirely new side to him.

In a new video introducing the idea and also his bandmate Kevin Fisher, Jack posted:

"Proud to introduce everyone to WhoHurtYou. @iamsweettalker and myself created this dark pop project during a really difficult time in our lives. We wrote these songs to help us cope with our relationships and break-ups. We’ve spent the last year pouring our hearts into the music. Each song represents a different stage of break-up grief. Personally, it has been an interesting journey songwriting and putting my feelings out there. Scary at first, but now I’m ready to share it with the world. I hope the music can help you the way it helped us."

In All Time Low news, meanwhile, frontman Alex Gaskarth told Kerrang! recently that the band will be heading into the studio in the summer to work on a follow-up to 2017’s Last Young Renegade – once his Simple Creatures side-project with blink-182’s Mark Hoppus is on the back-burner.

“We are kicking music around, we are sending ideas back and forth, we are starting to get into the nitty gritty of it,” he says.

“I think in the summer when blink gets busy and we put the pin in Simple Creatures for the minute, there’s going to be a nice window of time for all four of us get together, get in a room and start looking at the demos I’ve written, and breaking those down.

“Also, just start writing as the four of us again, and figuring out what the next version of All Time Low is going to sound like, which is super-exciting right now. Coming off the tail-end of Last Young Renegade, which was a little pocket universe of a record for us, I think it will be really cool to break out of that and kinda get back into what makes All Time Low, All Time Low, and figuring out what that is in 2019/2020.”
