"There's no doubt in my mind that this band is destined to do great things in the future, their self-titled debut EP had sold over 10, 000 copies between 2008 and 2009, so they are definitely doing something right. All the Right Moves are in it for all the right reasons and it would be a damn shame if they continued making music without a decent label to support them and help them gain even more success."
-2010 Absolutepunk.net Album Review of "The Monster I've Become"
"These guys have some serious musical chops. There are decades of musical training amongst them and it's evident in their songs. Combining infectious pop hooks with tight vocal harmonies and melodious piano and violin riffs, ATRM manages to add their own orchestral edge to their pop/punk sound. The end result is meaningful lyrics with melodies in a distinctly different style that just makes you want to dance."
-Substream Magazine, Issue 18, Article by Tiffany Wilhelm
"All The Right Moves delivers an onslaught of high energy and affectionate powerpop tracks. The consistent flow of music is overwhelming as the band orchestrates some of the finest melodies I've had the pleasure of enjoying."
-AW Music review of the All The Right Moves Self-titled EP
It's been five years since singer-songwriters Brandon Daly and Braden Ashworth teamed up and began writing songs and performing them in the elevators and dorm lounges for passing students at Mankato State University. The band went by the name "The Evermore Escape" for three years, before making the transition to All The Right Moves in 2008.
Creating quite a buzz in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul scene, in 2008 All The Right Moves released their debut self-title EP, which led to their victory in the national Fox 9 "Cravings to Go" Battle of the Bands, which also landed them a spot in a state-wide broadcasting Pizza Hut television commercial. ATRM has also played select dates throughout the Midwest on the Vans Warped Tour, in 2008, 2009, and 2010.
The band's debut EP climbed all the way to the #8 spot on the Smartpunk.com charts for the Best Selling Albums in early 2009, and they held strong in the Top 100 for over a year. They have had the opportunity to share the stage with many national acts, playing opening slots for the likes of: All Time Low, Plain White T's, Mayday Parade, Valencia, Lucky Boys Confusion, Every Avenue, The Audition, Hawthorne Heights, Emarosa, and local Minneapolis favorites such as Quietdrive, Sing It Loud, Take Cover, Jamestown Story, Swimming With Dolphins, Hyland, Lights Out Dancing, and Four Letter Lie.
In June of 2010 the band released a second, follow-up EP entitled "The Monster I've Become", as well as a 7-song acoustic "Unplugged" EP, which featured some new songs as well as a handful of the band's songs, remade with focus on piano, violin, and acoustic guitar. "This is only the beginning", states singer/songwriter Brandon Daly, "because in our eyes, nothing is better than doing what you love…"
