All Time Low Enter Their Crunch Era With New Potato Chip Collaboration

Write a comment

After more than two decades of chart hits, sold-out tours, and emotionally devastating pop-punk choruses, All Time Low have officially entered a new arena: the snack aisle.

The Maryland quartet has partnered with Nantucket Crisps to launch “Bay Spice,” a new potato chip flavor inspired by the Chesapeake seasoning the band grew up inhaling at every cookout, crab feast, and probably at least one questionable high school parking lot gathering.

The flavor blends classic East Coast seafood seasoning with Nantucket-style coastal vibes, essentially creating the first potato chip that sounds like it owns both a skateboard and a fishing boat.

“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.”

The chips will begin appearing in select stores next month before expanding nationwide through Fresh Market locations in August, meaning fans may soon be able to cry to “Dear Maria, Count Me In” while covered in orange seasoning dust. Truly immersive branding.

To mark the launch, the band will also perform a special acoustic benefit show on June 7 at Cisco Brewers Nantucket. Proceeds from the event will support Fairwinds Center for Mental Health and the Nantucket Music Foundation.

Hayden Arnot said the collaboration happened after both sides realized they shared nearly identical childhood memories involving blue crabs, summers by the water, and aggressively seasoning food like it owed them money.

“Same blue crabs. Same sunburned shoulders. Same love of bold seasoning,” Arnot said in what may also secretly be lyrics from an unreleased folk album.

The partnership is the latest unexpected chapter in All Time Low’s unusually durable career. Since forming in 2003, the band has earned five consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, multiple platinum certifications, and one of alternative radio’s biggest modern hits with “Monsters,” which famously spent 18 weeks at No. 1.

Their latest album, Everyone’s Talking!, continued that streak, proving the band can still dominate charts while also somehow finding time to become the face of artisan kettle chips.

At this point, fans are just one step away from an All Time Low branded seafood seasoning, and honestly, nobody should rule it out.

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
