The All-American Rejects are back, and they mean it. The veteran alt-rockers announce ‘Sandbox,’ their first album in over a decade, due May 15 via their own Slick Shoes imprint. Released independently, the record marks a major milestone for a group whose viral resurgence over the past year has proven their multigenerational fanbase hasn’t gone anywhere, it’s only grown.
The lead-up to ‘Sandbox’ has been sharp. Singles “Easy Come, Easy Go” and “Get This” have done exactly what great comeback singles should do, demonstrating that The All-American Rejects’ instinct for anthemic, emotionally resonant songwriting remains completely intact. “Get This,” released late 2025, has already amassed nearly three million streams, charted on TikTok Viral Charts in the UK, US, Canada, and Germany, and picked up alternative radio support. A new visualizer for the track, directed by Sarah Pardini and shot and edited by Andy Knight, delivers a sexy, edgy visual that matches the song’s energy.
‘Sandbox’ arrives as the culmination of a year of explosive momentum, from viral tours to major media buzz, all pointing toward a group that has rediscovered exactly what makes them compelling. The album promises to balance the anthemic punch that defined their legacy with the emotional nuance they’ve been developing throughout this comeback chapter.
