All-American Rejects Woo Young Girls

I clearly didn't fully appreciate how popular The All-American Rejects have become over their eight years together. The lineup outside the Phoenix just kept going and stretched all the way north to Wellesley Street. Even without counting the more than a few people in line who didn't realize the Lily Allen show had been moved to a different venue...

The All-American Rejects — Tournado

Anyone who's ever dreamed of being in an explosively popular, teenage-hormone-fuelled pop-punk band with tween girl fans who squeeze and squeal in front of the stage will appreciate Tournado. This vicarious trip across the U.S. with The All-American Rejects is full of poop jokes and poop-related private confessions interspersed with concert...

Edgefest 2's Smaller Acts Upstage The Headliners

If Edgefest 1 brought the rock, Edgefest 2 definitely brought the punk. Or pop-punk, anyway. Focusing on one genre instead of a mixed bag like previous years produced uneven results, but young punks flocked to the Molson Amphitheatre to see a wide array of mainstream and underground punk talent. One of the great things about going with the...

If you want to pick it up before it's technically out, you can get the vinyl on April 16, which is Record Store Day. It's got a remix of the title track from last year's Swanlights, along with two B-sides. There's been...

All-American Rejects Appearing On One Life To Live

The recession is still alive and kicking, and it's severely inhibiting a band's ability to get television face-time with their teen fans. With The O.C. having been cancelled (they featured bands like Modest Mouse, Rooney and Death Cab For Cutie), there are only so many places pseudo-indie/secretly populist bands can go to put their faces on TV...

The All-American Rejects — "I Wanna"

The All-American Rejects' video for When The World Comes Down's "I Wanna" finds the band performing at a house party, where Tyson "I nearly lost a leg" Ritter struggles to get back with a lady. It's kinda like the reverse of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi," because later it's Ritter who's a famous rock star while his...

All-American Rejects Singer Nearly Lost Leg

All-American Rejects singer Tyson Ritter is probably looking at his right leg a whole lot differently these days, because he almost lost it. Ritter performed with his band while sitting in a wheelchair last month, but did not fill anyone in on how he acquired his injury. He recently told Kerrang! magazine his knee became infected after he did a...

And we thought Rihanna and Chris Brown made an odd couple. RiRi will pair with All-American Rejects vocalist Tyson Ritter for her upcoming fourth studio album, rumoured to be called Rated R. The album may hit stores this fall. Additional contributors reportedly include The-Dream, Stargate, James Fauntleroy and Christopher "Tricky"...

The All-American Rejects put their own spin on a post-breakdown Britney Spears song during a recent online performance as part of Yahoo!'s Pepsi Smash series. The Stillwater, Okla. pop-punk band covered Circus lead single "Womanizer" and, in an attempt to infuse it with some AAR (or at least Gogol Bordello) flair, they transformed the...

The All-American Rejects — The All-American Rejects

This Oklahoma quartet's debut unloads 11 tracks of extreme power pop that is too sweet to be cool. TAAR's material whips up a mix of Hoobastank-style vocals and mall-safe guitar hooks to make for a release that just doesn't make it to greatness. There are even a few misplaced Journey-style piano flourishes on this debut that slam the breaks on the...
