The band that got everyone singing along to "Dirty Little Secret" and "Gives You Hell".
Biography.
The journey and inspirations that shape The All-American Rejects's world.
Led by Tyson Ritter, The All-American Rejects turned their pop punk choruses into evergreen hits of the 2000s.
Formed in 1999 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, by singer-bassist Tyson Ritter and guitarist Nick Wheeler, the band quickly made its name on the American pop punk scene.
Their album Move Along (2005) and its singles "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along" put them at the top of the charts, before "Gives You Hell" (2008) became one of the most covered breakup anthems of the decade.
Known for provocative music videos and overflowing stage energy, the band has kept a loyal fan base long after the golden age of radio pop punk.
Still active, Ritter and his bandmates keep playing rock and alternative festivals, carried by choruses the whole crowd still knows by heart.
