Put Up or Shut Up is an EP by American rock band All Time Low released, released on July 25, 2006 through Hopeless Records.
Background
[edit]Five of the tracks are re-recordings of The Party Scene (2005) songs. The title originates from lyrics taken from "Break Out! Break Out!".
On March 28, 2006, it was announced that the band signed to Hopeless Records. The group finished recording Put Up or Shut Up in March, before embarking on a tour with Transition a month later.[2] From August to October, the band supported Amber Pacific on their tour of the U.S.[3]
Composition
[edit]Emily Zemler of Alternative Press called the tracks on the EP "bouncy pop-punk", while comparing the sound of the EP overall to Fall Out Boy and New Found Glory.[4]
