They have five consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200 and have racked up multi-platinum, platinum, and gold certifications. And now, more than two decades after breaking on the musical scene, Maryland quartet All Time Low – Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Rian Dawson and Zack Merrick – officially have their own line of snacks.
All Time Low have partnered with Nantucket Crisps for their very own “Bay Spice” chip, a savory Chesapeake seasoning meets island flare, reflecting the flavors the four musicians grew up with where Maryland meets Nantucket. All Time Low’s signature line of Nantucket Crisps “Bay Spice” chips will be available in select stores next month, and will arrive at all Fresh Markets nationwide in August.
“When someone asks you if you want to create your own snack, you say yes,” says All Time Low lead singer Alex Gaskarth. “We partnered with Nantucket Crisps to make something that feels representative of a Baltimore classic we grew up with: The “Savory Chesapeake Bay Seasoning” chip. This is our spin on a Maryland staple and we hope the world loves it.”
To celebrate the culinary collaboration, All Time Low will play a special acoustic benefit show on June 7 at Cisco Brewers Nantucket with proceeds benefiting Fairwinds Center for Mental Health and the Nantucket Music Foundation.
In a statement, Nantucket Crisps co-founder Hayden Arnot said: “We teamed up with our friends in All Time Low — Maryland-born pop punk legends who’ve been soundtracking our summers for over two decades — to create the ultimate Bay Spice chip. Before sold-out shows and platinum records, the guys were kids just outside Baltimore, crabbing local bridges and piling Bay seasoning on everything in sight. At the same time, I was on Nantucket, spending summers at the First Bridge off Madaket Road — hand lines in the water, buckets filling up fast. When the band and I swapped stories, we realized we grew up the exact same way — just on different bays and ponds. Same blue crabs. Same sunburned shoulders. Same love of bold seasoning.”
This collaboration is merely another outsize accomplishment for All Time Low: last year the pop-punk legends released Everyone’s Talking!, their tenth full-length studio LP, released via their own imprint, Basement Noise Records, in partnership with Photo Finish Records/Virgin Music Group. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Current Alternative Albums chart, No. 3 on the Current Rock Albums chart and No. 8 on Billboard’s Top Vinyl Albums. Album single “The Weather” landed at No. 1 on the Alternative Radio charts – the third Number One single of the band’s already-momentous career, having previously accomplished this feat with “Monsters” and “Sleepwalking.” In fact, during its run at the top of the charts, “Monsters” became the longest-charting song ever having spent 18 weeks atop the Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart.
Having toured the globe over the past year on their EVERYONE’S TALKING! TOUR, the biggest headline tour of their career, the band returns to Europe next month for a string of performances before returning to the U.S., Canada and Mexico for a string of North American dates.

Since their inception in 2003, All Time Low have shattered records, topped charts, sold out arenas and carved out a fervent fanbase along the way. Their catalog consists of five consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200 in addition to picking up multi-platinum, platinum, and gold certifications. Speaking to their impact, Rolling Stone named So Wrong, It’s Right, among its “50 Greatest Pop Punk Albums.” In 2020, they ascended to a new commercial and critical high watermark with their eighth full-length LP, Wake Up, Sunshine. Following a #1 debut on the Top Rock Albums chart, it spawned the biggest hit of the band’s career thus far, “Monsters” [feat. blackbear]. It clinched #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart for an unprecedented 18 weeks, emerging as the longest-charting song ever at the Modern Rock format. In addition to going platinum, it notably garnered “Alternative Rock Song of the Year” at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards, while superstar Demi Lovato teamed up with the group for the Official Remix.
The band also captivated audiences with explosive sets at Bonnaroo and Firefly, along with unforgettable appearances on The Today Show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Ellen, Good Morning America, and more.
