Instead of sounding artificial though, it sounded as if there was a full band, even though a lot of the sounds, including strings, were made by Wheeler's keyboard.Īfter recording the album, the duo decided to fill out the band and hired on guitarist Mike Kennerty and drummer Chris Gaylor to tour behind the October 2002 release of their self-titled debut. O'Heir put multi-tracked vocals to make the songs sound bigger and the crunchy guitar parts were surrounded by synthesizers and drum machines. Wheeler played drums and guitars while Ritter played bass and sang. Because Ritter and Wheeler were used to being a duo, they recorded the same way. The small, but influential label signed the duo up and sent them to New York City in the spring of 2002 to record their full-length album with producer Tim O'Heir (Sebadoh, Superdrag). Ritter and Wheeler's demo found its way into the hands of Ohio-based independent record label Doghouse Records (home to The Get Up Kids). Influenced by '80s arena pop-rock bands like Def Leppard and Bon Jovi, Wheeler and Ritter formed a quick bond and began to write and perform songs together leading to a self-recorded demo/EP called Same Girl, New Songs that they sold at their shows in the summer of 2001. Both Ritter and Wheeler learned to play guitar at very young ages and in high school, Ritter could often be found performing in school musicals. Stillwater was a small town with little to do besides fishing or go-karting. The under-aged duo often brought their guitars and keyboards (with synthesized drum beats) into local Stillwater, Oklahoma, bars to perform for patrons who hardly cared. Singer/bassist Tyson Ritter and guitarist Nick Wheeler formed The All-American Rejects in 1998. Young, good-looking, and with pop songs that stick in your head, The All-American Rejects perfected their brand of emotional power-pop with just a touch of attitude by creating a unique sound that uses electronic programming and multi-tracked vocals in pop songs with arena-sized hooks. A few years out of the spotlight, The All-American Rejects returned in 2005 with an album that struck at the perfect time. Of course, it was no quick ride to the top the quartet struggled on an independent before signing to a major label and struggled to avoid becoming a one-hit wonder.

A band started out by teenagers, The All-American Rejects were MTV darlings and multi-platinum artists by the release of their second major-label album in 2005. The All-American Rejects are a prime example of the all-American dream.
