History
Formation and first releases (2001–2004)
The band formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 2001. The band was formed by members Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler, and the name came from two suggestions: "The All-Americans" and "The Rejects". The two began to tour the American Midwest, along with drummer Tim Campbell. At the shows they gave out the Same Girl, New Songs EP, full of demos of songs written by the band. Due to tensions in the band, Tim Campbell left. Then, after being noticed by independent Doghouse Records, The All-American Rejects then signed onto their roster.
In 2001, with producer Tim O'Heir (Superdrag, Sebadoh, Juliana Hatfield),citation needed they recorded their self-titled debut album, The All-American Rejects, and released it along with single "Swing, Swing" towards the end of 2002. Edmond, Oklahoma residents Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor joined shortly after. They were then signed by DreamWorks Records and both the album and single were reissued. "Swing, Swing" peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at #60 as well as #8 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, and the debut album peaked at #25 on the Billboard 200. They also embarked on their first headling tour during spring 2003, the Too Bad For Hell Tour. In later 2003, the All-American Rejects released, Live from Oklahoma... The Too Bad for Hell DVD!, their first live DVD - which was later certified Gold by the RIAA.
Move Along (2005–2006)
In 2005, the group released their second album, Move Along, which featured the singles "Dirty Little Secret", "Move Along", "Top of the World", and "It Ends Tonight". The music video for Dirty Little Secret features images from the collective art project PostSecret.
The All-American Rejects released the The Bite Back EP on the iTunes music store at the end of 2005 followed in 2006 by the second single from Move Along, "Move Along". Within the first weeks after premiering their video, it had been on the Total Request Live countdown, hitting number one four days in a row. The single didn't peak on Billboard Hot 100 until almost six months after its release, in June. "Move Along" was then nominated for "Best Editing in a Video" and "Best Group Video" at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, the latter of which they won.5 In addition, the band performed "Move Along" live at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 31, 2006. The band was also nominated for Choice Rock Group in the Teen Choice Awards6 "Move Along" was also featured in episode 2 of season 3 of One Tree Hill.
In May 2006, The All-American Rejects performed a cover version of Def Leppard's "Photograph" on VH1 Rock Honors. In September 2006 the band's third single was released from their Move Along album, called "It Ends Tonight". The video for "It Ends Tonight" debuted at number 10 on the VH1 Top 20 countdown. The video also peaked at #2 on TRL.7
On New Year's Eve 2005, the band performed The Cars' "Good Times Roll" with Fall Out Boy on MTV. On New Year's Eve 2006, they played a special on Las Vegas' Fremont Street, which also included bands OK Go, Five for Fighting, Rock Star Supernova, and Chicago. The songs "Move Along" and "Dirty Little Secret" were also featured in the video game Rock Band.8
When the World Comes Down (2007-present)
In the summer of 2007 the band began recording their third studio album. During this time they also released a DVD featuring live content from their Tournado tour and contributed the song "The Future Has Arrived" to the soundtrack of Disney film Meet the Robinsons.citation needed
The group then went into writing the next record which took about two years. They spent around six months in the studio recording When the World Comes Down with producer Eric Valentine. On October 8, 2008, the band was honored as a "Rising Star" by the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.9 The first single from When the World Comes Down was "Gives You Hell"10, which was released in September 2008. The music video was released November 5 and reached number one on VH1's Top 20 Countdown. On November 18, the band released "Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down)" exclusively at iTunes. Finally, three years after Move Along was released, the group's third album, When the World Comes Down, was released on December 16, 2008.11 Also during this time they covered a song from Nightmare Before Christmas "Jack's Lament" on the Nightmare Revisited. On May 9, 2009 in an interview with MTV at KIIS-FM's Wango Tango festival in Irvine, California, they hinted that they would be going on tour with "a nondescript band that is rumored to be reuniting," leading those to believe that they will be joining Blink-182 on their summer. Later The All-American Rejects released a second single in the United States, entitled The Wind Blows. Another single was released in the UK and Australia, which is called I Wanna.
