The All-American Rejects

The All-American Rejects formed in 1999 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, around core members Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler. Their 2002 self-titled debut introduced their energetic pop-rock sound, propelled by the hit Swing, Swing. The follow-up album Move Along (2005) brought major success with singles like “Dirty Little Secret” and “It Ends Tonight.” In 2008, Gives You Hell became one of their biggest global hits. Known for emotional, anthemic songwriting and energetic performances, the band remains a defining act of 2000s pop-rock.
