All Time Low has said that the band started getting serious in their senior year of high school, when they signed to Hopeless Records on Valentine's Day 2006, right before graduating.[9][10] Hopeless then sent the band on a busy tour schedule,[10] and released the EP Put Up or Shut Up later that year. The EP became the band's first record to reach the charts, peaking at number 20 on the US Independent Albums chart and number 12 on the Top Heatseekers chart.[11] Put Up or Shut Up contained newly recorded versions of songs from their previous studio album, The Party Scene, along with two new tracks. After extensive touring and promoting to support Put Up or Shut Up, the band began recording their second full-length studio album.
In 2007 they released their second album So Wrong, It's Right, which became their most commercially successful, peaking at number 62 on the Billboard 200 and number 6 on the Independent Albums chart.[11] The second single from the album, "Dear Maria, Count Me In", which was written about a stripper from their hometown,[10] became their first single to reach the charts, peaking at number 86 on the Pop 100,[12] on March 9, 2011 the song achieved gold status without ever earning radio play.
Following the release of So Wrong, It's Right, All Time Low quickly gained popularity, eventually making their TRL debut on 12 February 2008. They have also been featured on MTV's Discover and Download and Music Choice's Fresh Crops, and have been added to both MTV's Big Ten and MTV Hits playlists.[13][14] On 7 March 2008, the band made their live television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!,[15] and then performed live at the mtvU Woodie Awards.[16] In December 2008, All Time Low was announced as Alternative Press magazine's Band of the Year 2008 and was on the cover of the magazine's January issue.
