Tyson did an interview with Destin.com, they talked about his adopted hometown, Destin, FL, and the new record. Check it out.

DESTIN, FL – Tyson Ritter, frontman for the rock band All-American Rejects, couldn’t say enough nice things about his adopted hometown during an interview last week.

“We love Destin,” he said. “I may be from Oklahoma, but Destin is home to me.”

The 24-year-old and the rest of the band – Nick Wheeler, Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor – hail from Stillwater, Okla.

That all changed about five years ago.

“How did we discover Destin? That’s a good question,” Ritter said. “We were flying on Thanksgiving break, or a little bit before it, on a Delta flight. I was flipping through a magazine and see an article that says ‘Florida’s New Hot Destination.’ What a sweet play on words.

“About that time, Nick and I were pretty tired of our hometown. You know, it just gets smaller and smaller, it seems, the longer you stay after high school.

“We saw the beautiful sandy beach. And, Destin, we were like, wow, I put my foot down and it squeaks. We’ll stay here forever.”
