Biography

Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States

The All-American Rejects are a band that formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States in the late 1990s by high school friends Tyson Ritter (on vocals, bass, piano) and Nick Wheeler (lead guitar, vocals and keys). Other current members are Chris Gaylor (on drums and percussion) and Mike Kennerty (rhythm guitar and vocals). They released their first independent album in the spring of 2000, and eventually built up a large local fanbase.

In the summer of 2001, the Rejects released the EP Same Girl, New Songs and began to tour the American Midwest. By the tour’s end, the band had signed a contract with Doghouse Records, the label of such bands as River City High and The Get Up Kids.

In 2002 the Rejects recorded their debut album. From this album came the single Swing, Swing for which the Rejects were first known. It got them a deal with DreamWorks, who picked up the album from Doghouse Records. Speaking with Songfacts in a 2012 interview, Nick Wheeler recalled: “We knew that was special, but we were on a little label that didn’t really talk to radio or MTV, so there really wasn’t talk of a single. Turns out it turned the heads of a lot of publishers and label people.”

In 2005, The All-American Rejects released their new album, Move Along. This album features the song Dirty Little Secret, which was the first single. Their music video for the song features postcards from the book “Post Secret” by Frank Warren.
