All American Rejects

BIOGRAPHy

All American Rejects
 Iconic pop-rock band The All-American Rejects a formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 1999. Frontman Tyson Ritter and guitarist Nick Wheeler lead the group. Rhythm guitarist Mike Kennerty and drummer Chris Gaylor complete the lineup. The band defined the early 2000s alt-rock boom. They scored multi-platinum, anthemic hits like “Swing, Swing,” “Dirty Little Secret,” and “Move Along”. Their massive crossover smash “Gives You Hell” later topped charts worldwide.  After dominating the major label system, the band stepped away to focus on personal growth. They returned to the spotlight with a massive 2023 summer tour. This was followed by a viral “House Party Tour”. These intimate, DIY shows in backyards and skateparks reconnected the group with their grassroots origins. The unique experience sparked a major creative revival. In May 2026, the band released Sandbox, their fifth studio album. It marks their first independent record in 14 years. Released through their own imprint, the album showcases a raw, unfiltered sound. The band completely bypassed mainstream label expectations. Instead, they focused on genuine artistic expression and deep fan connection. Now over a quarter-century into their career, the veteran rockers are supporting the album with global live shows. This includes an eager return to Europe and the United Kingdom.
