MTV Buzzworthy Blog › All Time Low

All Time Low's "Time-Bomb" won’t make you count down to the good part: The new video is half rock show/half comic book thriller and all fun to watch. The video for the band's third Dirty Work single finds the quartet rocking out to the song on an L.A. rooftop backed by sweet lens flares. But it does more than look all shiny and cinematic.

Between power chords, the video takes a page from "Iron Man": A budding Tony Stark has to build a heart-saving device before time runs out or a guns-blazing black ops crew shoots him down. And because it's All Time Low, it's a love story: The medical breakthrough saves the life of his girlfriend ("Vampire Diaries" cutie Malese Jow), who lies waiting in a gloomy hospital bed. (Total Gaga "Marry the Night" vibes. What is it with new videos and sad-looking medical care? Don't pop stars have insurance?)

The song concludes with the pair reaching the rooftop and revealing her glowing chest as the band wraps up the song. It's a cliffhanger ending -- fingers crossed Thor's in the sequel. Or at least ScarJo.

The Trace is that band you bring home to mom. They're badass on the outside, but probably great boyfriends supersweet on the inside. And please forgive me for not opening with a line about how talented The Trace are as musicians, but I got momentarily distracted by THEIR HANDSOME FACES.

Moving on to the tunes: Made up of four dudes from Bethlehem, PA, I'd like to call The Trace a pop-rock band because their songs are hooky enough to be pop tunes and hard-core enough to be rock songs. But there's something else floating around in the mix -- maybe it's the boys' heartfelt lyrics, or maybe it's their supertight harmonies, but The Trace possesses a unique quality that sets them apart from other pop rockers.

It's totally possible that this "quality" is actually the fact that these dudes have shared the stage with like, 10 trillion famous rockers. The Trace have performed alongside Hot Chelle Rae, Boys Like Girls, Yellowcard, The Ready Set, New Found Glory, All Time Low, Iyaz Jason Derulo and Honor Society, to name a few.

But it's not all rock for the boys. Ballads like "All In All" show the boys' softer, dare I say in-touch-with-their-feminine side: "I won't go/Until we're safe and sound/With your taste inside my mouth/Just saying, until this moment leaves/There's no place I'd rather be/Will you stay with me?" Again, this was the kind of band you could bring home to Mom! And Dad probably won't punch them out, either.

The Trace's new album The Trace EP is out now.

Not every music video can feature dramatic, sweeping crane shots of snow-capped mountains and sullen, pensive stars precariously perched atop a cliff. Or naughty surprised faces and kinda-sexy come-hither winks. And not everyone can writhe around in body paint like Beyonce can or baffle us like Lady Gaga. Some of our favorite music videos of 2011 went straight for the LOLs using parody, satire, good old-fashioned sight gags and intentionally bad overacting. Here, in no particular order, are some of the, well, funniest funny videos of 2011.

+ Katy Perry, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)" -- If Katy Perry had only given us Rebecca Black, it would've been enough for us. But she packed her "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" video with over-the-top cameos, including Kenny G blowing sax on a roof, Deborah Gibson and Corey Feldman AND HANSON!

+ Chromeo, "When The Night Falls" -- We're pretty sure that you can't get pregnant just by LOOKING at Chromeo's Dave 1 and P-Thugg... or CAN you? Regardless, the kid is not my son, but Chromeo better be ready to shell out thousands in child support.

+ Jessie J, "Who's Laughing Now" -- In her Emil Nava-directed video, lil Jessie J goes back to school and draws strength from bullies and haters while real Jessie J, posed as a lunch lady in serious need of a makeover, hits back with a raised middle finger and the best revenge of them: BEING FAMOUS BEING AND PAID.

+ Ke$ha, "Blow" -- Unicorns, Muenster cheese and Ke$ha are pretty much all you need to create organic hilarity, but Ke$ha totally raised the bar when she killed -- and mounted! -- James Van Der Beek.

+ Duck Sauce, "Big Bad Wolf" -- A-Trak and Armand Van Helden LITERALLY turn into d***heads in Keith Schofield's ragingly inappropriate, howlingly hilarious "Big Bad Wolf" video. But they find love, so it's almost sweet, right?

+ Beastie Boys, "Make Some Noise" -- Elijah Wood's Ad-Rock impression is scary-good. But Danny McBride as MCA and the Beasties' musical history in cameo form is almost genius.

+ Black Keys "Lonely Boy"-- If you thought that one continuous shot of a man dancing outside of a motel wouldn't be funny, then you thought way way wrong.

+ We The Kings, "Friday Is Forever/ Rebecca Black 'Friday' Mashup" -- Sometimes the funniest videos are the cheapest. And we mean that lovingly, We The Kings. Their "Friday Is Forever" video is a mashup of Rebecca Black's "Friday" and a bizarro joyride with Black Swan, Ke$ha, and Charlie Sheen all in the same car.

+ Foo Fighters, "Walk" -- Dave Grohl is fed up with just about everything, pulls a Michael-Douglas-in-"Falling-Down," minus the super unfortunate haircut, plus the unsatisfying cheeseburger, ends up tased. Guitars, not guns!

Check out more of the funniest music videos of 2011 after the jump!

I love a tour-themed video, and I really love a lyric video, so shouts to All Time Low for incorporating my two favorite techniques into their latest, "Forget About It."

Unlike the video for "I Feel Like Dancin,'" "Forget About It" opts for a more lo-fi, behind-the-scenes look at the antics that take place during an All Time Low tour. And by "antics" I mean "band-wide shirtless dancing parties, water gun fights, weight lifting, and secret pre-show rituals which may or may not include burger scarfing." Oh, and also TONS of fans. "Forget About It" shows fans waiting to meet the band outside (in the rain!), fans sweating while mosh pitting, fans getting All Time Low autographs, and most importantly, fans straight up rocking out. And as if the tour video aspect wasn't enough to thrill me, "Forget About It" also doubles as a lyric video, with the words to the song plastered on the screen in a punk font that's totally All Time Low-y.

"Forget About It" is the perfect tour video for a band whose happiest place is probably... well, on tour. Oh, and keep a look out for the shot of drummer Rian Dawson holding a female fan's unmentionables. A winning scene right there, folks!

Buzzworthy faves All Time Low filmed an episode of Fuse.tv's "Hoppus On Music" in New York this week, and from the looks of lead singer Alex Gaskarth's face, it was like, a super boring gig. But we doubt that -- the photographer probably just caught him at a bad time. He was probably counting down the hours until lunch or thinking about this GIF. (Those two things take up most of my time, too.)

The "I Feel Like Dancin'" dudes played a few songs off of their latest album, Dirty Work, while Alex sported what just might be the coolest shirt ever -- an American flag with the words "The United States of Awesome" printed over it? Eff yeah! I want one in every color! I want "The United States of Awesome" luggage! I want to make this my LinkedIn bio! I want to legally change my middle name to "The United States of Awesome!" Wait... Too far?

Last month, we told you about "I Feel Like Dancin'," the up-tempo collaboration between Baltimore punk-pop band All Time Low and Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo. Now, the guys have come through with the video for their first single off their upcoming album, Dirty Work.

This being their first major-label video, the group went meta, framing "I Feel Like Dancin'" around a meeting between the band and the dreaded "clueless label guy." "We need to boost album sales this quarter," says the nameless suit. "And you guys are going to be our guinea pigs... I have a few methods for success up my sleeve."

What follows is a series of "proven" methods for fame, e.g., product placement, sex and stealing other people's ideas. We don't want to give too much away, but for that last one, the guys lampoon your favorite pop stars. It looks all in good fun, though, as the band clearly has no problem dressing in drag or letting muscled beefcakes grind them while they're playing.

Dirty Work, out June 7, is the band's fourth album and first since 2009's Nothing Personal.
