Description: THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS BIO/INFO- The All-American Rejects are a prime example of the all-American dream. A band started out by teenagers, The All-American Rejects were MTV darlings and multi-platinum artists by the release of their second major-label album in 2005. Of course, it was no quick ride to the top; the quartet struggled on an independent before signing to a major label and struggled to avoid becoming a one-hit wonder. A few years out of the spotlight, The All-American Rejects returned in 2005 with an album that struck at the perfect time. Young, good-looking, and with pop songs that stick in your head, The All-American Rejects perfected their brand of emotional power-pop with just a touch of attitude by creating a unique sound that uses electronic programming and multi-tracked vocals in pop songs with arena-sized hooks. Singer/bassist Tyson Ritter and guitarist Nick Wheeler formed The All-American Rejects in 1998. The under-aged duo often brought their guitars and keyboards (with synthesized drum beats) into local Stillwater, Oklahoma, bars to perform for patrons who hardly cared. Stillwater was a small town with little to do besides fishing or go-karting. Both Ritter and Wheeler learned to play guitar at very young ages and in high school, Ritter could often be found performing in school musicals. Ritter and Wheeler's demo found its way into the hands of Ohio-based independent record label Doghouse Records (home to The Get Up Kids). The small, but influential label signed the duo up and sent them to New York City in the spring of 2002 to record their full-length album with producer Tim O'Heir (Sebadoh, Superdrag). Because Ritter and Wheeler were used to being a duo, they recorded the same way. Wheeler played drums and guitars while Ritter played bass and sang. O'Heir put multi-tracked vocals to make the songs sound bigger and the crunchy guitar parts were surrounded by synthesizers and drum machines. Instead of sounding artificial though, it sounded as if there was a full band, even though a lot of the sounds, including strings, were made by Wheeler's keyboard. After recording the album, the duo decided to fill out the band and hired on guitarist Mike Kennerty and drummer Chris Gaylor to tour behind the October 2002 release of their self-titled debut. The tracks on The All-American Rejects were generally about teenage love gone wrong or, "Puppy love," Ritter admitted to Entertainment Weekly's Carina Chocano. "It hits your hard. I had a bad run. But it helped me write some good songs." The catchy songs and pin-up good looks of the band caught interest from DreamWorks Records who enticed the indie band to their label. The band could hardly say no; DreamWorks re-released The All-American Rejects as is. When the album was re-released in February 2003, it debuted on Billboard at 25; the band immediately went out and got All-American Rejects tattoos to commemorate their achievement.
