Formed in 1999 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, The All-American Rejects quickly became one of the most iconic rock bands of the 2000s. Led by Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler, the band debuted in 2002, featuring their hit “Swing, Swing.” Their 2005 album ‘Move Along’ cemented their place in rock with chart-toppers like “Dirty Little Secret” and “It Ends Tonight.” In 2008, “Gives You Hell” became a global hit and a Billboard No. 1 in 2009. The band continued pushing creative boundaries on ‘Kids in the Street’ in 2012.
The Rejects have continued evolving, taking their sound in new directions while staying true to the emotional core that has always defined their music. Their latest singles “Easy Come, Easy Go” and “Get This” have proven their undying commitment to writing songs that resonate with fans and prove that their relevance and connection with audiences are only getting stronger with time. ‘Sandbox’ marks their first album in over a decade.
