The All-American Rejects biografia

The All-American Rejects are an American rock band formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 1999 and currently consists of Tyson Ritter, Nick Wheeler, Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor.

The first piece of music ever recorded and released by The All-American Rejects was known as the blue album, it was a rough demo selection of twelve songs, some of which would be included Same Girl, New Songs EP. The young band gained attention from this collection and after backing from producer Tim O'Heir they released their self-titled album in 2003.

The first album was a commercial success, peaking at #25 on the US Billboard charts and dented the UK charts too. It featured the band's first small hit 'Swing, Swing' which was a bigger success in Britain. The follow-up album 'Move Along' remains their peak US chart position, placing at #6 upon its release in July 2005. It holds a double platinum selling certificate in the States thanks to the help of three hit singles, 'Move Along' 'Dirty Little Secret' and 'It Ends Tonight'.

The third album 'When The World Comes Down' did not reach the top 10 on the US Billboard as its predecessor had yet it features the band's biggest international single 'Gives You Hell'. The track reached #5 on the US chart and #18 in the UK as well as appearing on various charts around the world, it was the fifth most downloaded song of 2009. 'Kids In The Street' was released in 2012 and became the band's first appearance on the UK album charts top 40.

Avaliações

Almost psychotic in his intense delivery Tyson, the lead for The All American Rejects begins his set acapella. He rolls on the ground writhing with his own seeming insanity before springing to his feet as the rest of the band begins playing. Waiting until the crowd is involved he begins stopping at almost random places in the song and allowing the audience to finish his phrases.
Tyson struts across the stage seemingly boneless and possessed by the music. He never misses a beat and seems to project an almost insane persona. Wide eyes he blows kisses to the crowd and grins like a Cheshire cat reveling in the screams of his fans. For his next song he is less animated but his eyes express so much more emotion. He stares into the audience and though he appears unseeing his eyes bore into my chest.
Mike and Chris have similar stares and their faces are screwed up with effort. It seems as if they are pushing the music from their very being rather than playing instruments. It is hard to tell where the musician begins and the instrument ends but in the moment I don't care for such details. Even when less animated Chris gestures almost frantically with his arms punctuating riffs, notes, and phrases and seemingly offering them to the audience. The experience is intense, emotional, and outside of the bounds of sanity. Limits mean nothing to this band and they are willing to rock you into oblivion with their passion.
