Album: Last Young Renegade by All Time Low (2017)
Genre: Alternative Rock | Style: Rock/Pop
Record Label: Fueled by Ramen
Format: Album

Description: Last Young Renegade is the seventh studio album by American rock band All Time Low. It was released on June 2, 2017, and is their first release with Fueled by Ramen. The lead single, "Dirty Laundry" premiered on BBC Radio 1 on February 17, 2017. The album debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200, selling 33,000 units in its first week.

ackground and recording
Following the release of Future Hearts in April 2015, All Time Low began working on their next album shortly afterwards. The band spent several weeks staying at ranches in Big Bear and Palm Springs, California. Here, the band had a lot of time for "reflecting and soul-searching", according to vocalist/guitarist Alex Gaskarth.

In June 2016, Gaskarth emailed guitarist Jack Barakat a demo of "Dirty Laundry", which Barakat was immediately impressed by. Later that month, the band began recording Last Young Renegade at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles. With no deadline, the band worked at their own pace. The members would turn up at midday for the sessions, "playing around 'til something cool came out", according to Gaskarth. On occasion, Gaskarth would leave the studio enthusiastic with the progress being made on the album, other times he would feel burned out, incapable of listening to music for two days in a row.

Composition
Music and lyrics
Gaskarth stated the band were concerned with "just pushing ourselves forward" with Last Young Renegade, wishing to "explore ... some darker tones". He said he was "reflecting more on my demons this time around". Gaskarth also said: "Our friends are getting married, ... having kids, ... passing away another level of gravitas to things". Halfway through the writing process, while in the middle of working on four songs, the band came up with "Dirty Laundry" which helped "shaped the rest of the album."

Gaskarth mentioned the album had "a lot of indirect '80s influence on , and we had a lot of fun with analog keyboards." Gaskarth noted David Bowie and Prince as influences on the album. With "Last Young Renegade", Gaskarth said the group "needed to open  with a banger, and open with one that had a lot of energy and movement." He was unsure if the song was going to feature on the album "until later  ... there was this story forming and that 'Last Young Renegade' could be such a cool piece of what the record was about". Gaskarth explained that while Future Hearts was composed from the viewpoint of the band "talking about our youth," "Dirty Laundry" was written "from the other perspective ... taking more of a nostalgic approach." He also said the track discusses "the guilty conscience and the mistakes that you've made and coming to terms with those and wearing them as badges."
