There's a new sound rising from the wild, wild mid-west.
It's the pulse of edgy pop-rock sung with unfettered emotion. It's pinprick hooks toughened by crunchy guitars and aggressive solos. It's songs that burrow into your head and stay there. It's The All-American Rejects, an Oklahoma band whose self-titled debut album will be re-released Feb. 11, 2003, on DreamWorks Records. (The disc first came out on the independent Doghouse label in October of 2002.)
"It's hook-filled pop-rock on steroids with heavenly harmonies by Nick Wheeler and Tyson Ritter, most memorably so on 'Swing, Swing' and 'One More Sad Song,'" Alternative Press observed of the record (November 2002).
But it was most likely Net zine writers who started the buzz on this outfit. Here's what a few of them had to say:
"I could listen to The All-American Rejects all day long" (Jordan A. Baker, PastePunk.com).
"I cannot tell you how much in love with this I am…. These guys are going to be huge" (Kelly Green, PunkBeat.com).
