Formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma, the All-American Rejects are a four-piece band best known for pumping out power-pop rock hits. Consisting of lead singer Tyson Ritter, drummer Chris Gaylor, and guitarists Mike Kennerty and Nick Wheeler, AAR has been together since 2001. The band has released three studio albums since its inception, including their self-titled debut – 2005’s smash Move Along – and 2008’s “most anticipated album,” When the World Comes Down.

Advancements, relatively big and small, continue to be made day by day and, while being aware that great things are built with much time and toil, the group remains confident by keeping their minds on the invention at hand…
