The All-American Rejects, formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 1999, quickly rose to
prominence in the early 2000s with their infectious blend of pop-punk and emo rock. Their
self-titled debut album, released in 2002, featured the hit single "Swing, Swing," which
propelled them into the mainstream. This success was followed by their sophomore
album, "Move Along" (2005), which trophied 3 chart-topping singles like "Dirty Little
Secret," "Move Along," and "It Ends Tonight."
In 2008, they released "When the World Comes Down," featuring the stratospheric and
generational smash hit "Gives You Hell," which became their most successful single to
date, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band's fourth studio album, "Kids in
the Street," came out in 2012, showcasing a more mature sound while still retaining their
signature style.
Despite a quieter period in the mid-2010s, The All-American Rejects maintained a
dedicated fanbase and continued to tour sporadically while catching up on life that the
road kept them from.
The summer of 2023 was a significant milestone for the band, as they embarked on the
successful Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour. This tour celebrated their enduring legacy
and brought their energetic performances to fans old and new across the country.
As of now, The All-American Rejects continue to create and perform, solidifying their place
as one of the most beloved bands of their genre. Their journey from early 2000s hitmakers
to enduring rock icons is a testament to their talent, resilience, and the deep connection
they share with their fans
