All Time Low:
Formed in 2003 in the suburbs of Baltimore,
Maryland, All Time Low started out as a
high school cover band before morphing
into a melodic pop-punk act influenced by
predecessors like New Found Glory and
blink-182. An enduring presence in the
late-2000s.
Cheat Codes:
Los Angeles-based electronic trio Cheat
Codes debuted in 2015 with their single
“Visions,” a floor-filling, radio-ready bite
of house in a vein similar to Avicii and
Swedish House Mafia. Each of the group’s
three members – Kevin Ford, Trevor
Dahl, Matthew Russell – has deep roots
in L.A., working on individual projects
before joining forces for Cheat Codes.
Their different backgrounds helped inform
Cheat Codes’ stylistically varied sound,
which can range from warm pop to outright
big house bangers.
