The All-American Rejects

Ornate Oklahoma alternative rockers blended power pop majesty with punk attitude and an emo heart to become unlikely superstars.

Biography

Out of the backwaters of Oklahoma rose the power-pop clatter of the All-American Rejects, whose 2002 self-titled debut album, released on the indie Doghouse Records, won a huge fan base and the attention of several major labels. In a field crowded with Blink-182 imitators, the band stood slightly apart by favoring ornate instrumentation, transparently honest lyrics, and a real knack for hooks and sing-along choruses. Although it took several years for the band to record and release a follow-up, 2005's MOVE ALONG was a big hit that yielded a charting single, the infectious "Dirty Little Secret."
