- The All American Rejects came by to talk about why they decided to cover "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger, the stories behind their biggest hits including Swing Swing and Gives You Hell, the possibility of a new album, and more!
Since forming in Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 1999, the All-American Rejects have released four albums, numerous hit singles such as “Swing, Swing” and “Dirty Little Secret” and toured alongside everyone from Blink-182 to Bon Jovi. Having grown up, in his own words, "in front of a record button" since the age of 17, frontman Tyson Ritter spent the next 15 years recording and touring nonstop. Following their 2012 album, Kids In The Street, the group went on a much-needed hiatus. They reemerged in 2017 with the single, "Sweat” and again in 2019 with an EP. In 2023, the group embarked on their headlining Wet Hot All-American Summer tour, which sold over 200,000 tickets, proving that the Rejects have the staying power of a legacy act.

The legacy they have built till this day is unmatched and hearing them talk about the intention behind building a thoughtful group and taking necessary time to protect their own journey is just so refreshing. They’ve seen so many things happen to so many groups but the way they kept themselves grounded to eachother and the reason for doing this is something I hope so many new artists stay close to. They do not make them like this anymore. I hope they know how much we appreciate they still show up for us today and are still THEMSELVES. THANK YOU for this ❤
It's insane to know I've loved this band for more than half of my life. I'll ride with them forever!
same!
Kids in the Street is an incredible album.
It was SOOOO ahead of its time.
This interview made me ridiculously giddy - thank youuuuuu!
Wet Hot All American Summer Tour has reinvigorated my love for these guys. They’ve always stayed true to themselves and grown musically with every record. I really hope there’s still more to come!
I love All American Rejects! I am so happy they are back and touring again! I missed them so much!
I'm so blessed to have this band in my life. They've brought me many things and I don't know what I'd do without them. I feel like this is a fresh start for both myself and the band and I'm here for it all the way.
AAR was the band that got me into alternative music, I remember jamming out to their songs when I was 10 years old, still a fan almost 20 years later!
I have a feeling this was a lot of our stories. Was easier to convince your parents to buy a soft pop album with a go kart and no parental advisory sticker on the cover.
As a fellow Oklahoman, AAR has always been that band that I have alot of love and pride for. I mean, I was 12 years old when that first record came out. Listening to it on my Sony Walkman CD player on the bus to middle school. I grew up with these guys. I've seen them several times live and even met a couple members in OKC. The reason I mention this all, is to emphasize the point they made - they're grounded. Yes, Tyson is a bit eccentric, but the dude is so kind. They're not a bunch of douchebags who drink their own koolaid. They love music and want to share with others. Because of that, I'll always be a fan.
Same bro. Same. 🤙
Glad they’re back doing shows and that they’re still around. Fingers crossed for a new album
PLEASE LET THERE BE A NEW ALBUM.
Ps i was at thats tour 3 times. 1st concert ever was you guys in Ypsilanti MI when move along jst dropped
Bee keeper's daughter is one of my all time favorites. 😅
same! was surprised to hear that tyson hates it - but it also makes sense. he plays quite a douchebag in the song, and it was their first lead single to flop
Wow that was a really amazing episode hopefully they will be back with a 5th album
I'd still love to know what happened why we didn't get an album in 2017 when the Sweat EP dropped, their was a photoshoot, also 2019 when they released Demons and Send Her To Heaven we're recorded in the same sessions as Sweat.
Watched them live, a dream come true!
Loving the reject press tour recently ❤❤❤
Move Along is easily a very short list of my favorite songs of all time. Meant so much to me when it came out and still does now. Glad to see these guys coming back around and still sounding down to earth.
This was one of the best interviews I've watched in a long time, so nice to see genuine guys in it for the right reasons after all the years !
I really hope they aren’t done. They’ve got something so special and the live shows and albums never got worse.
Fun fact: Tyson played a "jock" in the film "house bunny"
thank you to you and the rejects for doing this interview. they changed my life and kept me strong enough to survive through so many things that i went through, from being a teen to the adult i am today. ❤ love u guys!
Man Tyson looks good
Yes please
Would be cool if AAR went more in the indie punk direction. Their cover of Flagpole Sitta was pretty sick to be honest. I'll always love AAR but I don't think I'd care much if they release another emo album at this point in my life.
Went to their show in Tampa ! LOVED IT. FINALY got to see my childhood band !!! Love yall so much !
Awesome interview! The band I play in got to open for them this year on 3 military bases. They were super kind, funny, and humble guys. Just like you see on this video 👍
I remember listening to gives you hell in the 5th grade and I was hooked on them immediately.
I play their music on the golf course and it always gets the vibes up! Please keep making music and touring... I missed you guys in Fayetteville AR this last go.
subscribed cuz if you have more bands on like this im in!
Glad to hear that they're doing dates at least :D
Awesome fun interview, love it
Amazing interview! Love this band
Just need to get OG anberlin back together!
My 2 favoritw opposite music groups are AAR and BTNH, both humble through their whole career and stuck together for the most part as brothers in music.
the subtle call out of all time low lol
He went out in the crowd at Durant and may have almost had my hand taken off by the cord 😂
I love All American rejects 💥 my favorite song it's dirty little secret 🎉
Dude you’re an amazing interviewer. I think the band really appreciated that
Bro I always wondered where they went. Sad but understandable but like fuck I’d switch live in a heart beat.
Humperdoo!!!
AAR FOREVER!
fire. I bought their Hal Leonard Tab Books from Guitar Center back in like 07. Lots of half-step down tuning stuff. Lots of stuff where GTR 1 and GTR 2 are tuned different aswell.
God I love those guitar riffs & squeals on 11:11 PM. Dance Inside and Change Your Mind have some fun guitar stuff in it too. I heard that All 3 of their albums were bounced to TAPE in the studio too. That's why their albums sound so God Damn crips. Mixed By Chris Lorde-Alge. Mastered By Ted Jensen. The conversion is absolutely impeccable with this bands albums. Such perfect instrument choices they use aswell. Drums always so clean. Everything always sits in its own space. The Guitars definitely drive this band. Bass always had that nice warm Fall Out Boy P-Bass, Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pick-up sound too.
Please come to cleveland ohio!
It's great to see them again and I'm glad they're looking to try some new music and just have fun with it. I was always wondering why it just seemed to be a single every now and again and rehashed collections of their past work on streaming apps. But I have to say, it actually kinda sucks to learn more about them and dispel the mental image I had of the band. They're insanely humble, which **is** a good thing, but it's so extreme to the point where it's almost self loathing. As if everything they did previously was rushed and bad and not spiritual enough for them. Artists complain a lot about having to churn out hits but the people pushing them usually end up causing them to write and create some rather incredible stuff because of it. Maybe that's why I haven't really enjoyed the newer singles they've released over the years. I wonder if that will be the same with anything else new since it'll be without the friction of working with a label. It's like with the "It Ends Tonight" thing they mention, learning the truth behind them and their records is actually rather disappointing. Sorry, but yes, the song sounds 5x lamer if it's not about a relationship. You're complaining about a depressed roommate that's bumming you out? It's really not very interesting that way. It's a similar situation with "Gives You Hell," which I think was also about a dude and not a woman like most would expect. I can see why everyone told them to not mention that. Oh and Tyson hates Beekeeper's Daughter? Makes sense because it's actually interesting and edgy and braggadocious. I'm surprised he even managed to write it at all, considering it sounds like the exact opposite of his actual personality.
First comment!!
Tyson hating his own music is a bad sign of ever getting new music out.
Walker Dorothy Perez Charles Thomas Anthony
Alright where’s some new music then all this talk. I wanna see the growth
I cannot believe that the show put “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger in the title as if it was an AAR song 🤣 Y’all need new staff after that one, chief… Big oof lmao
This guy is terrible. Like he’s interviewing a band he doesn’t know.?
Watching the live reaction as the lead singer speaks is priceless 😂
This band could have owned Pop/pop-punk if the singer could keep clean for 5 mins. Every show was a strung out train wreck.
lol except he's a known straight edge vegan like Jared Leto. Rock stars can be eccentric without being on drugs, what a concept.
I was at that Tampa show last year and it definitely was a shit show, to no fault of the bands. The sound guys didn’t have their shit figured out
This is one of the best bands ever it would be a waste if they dont release a kickass new record cuz they still got it
AAR is such a great band! Been a fan since Swing, Swing…seen them in concert 19 times🎶💕 They always put on such an amazing show
