Welcome to the womb of creation where minds meld, riffs congeal, voices carry, lives alter, skin sheds and a modern rock multi-platinum success story swing, swing for the fences. But for The All-American Rejects, the road to When the World Comes Down, their third long form musical offering, has been anything but a straight line.

Yay! The guys finally finished ‘The Wind Blows’ video! Awesome! Can’t wait!

Rumor has it, The All American Rejects will be filming a video at 6th St. from Spring St. to Broadway in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 29th, noon to 7 p.m. Filming permit signs were spotted for a project called AAR which is probably shorthand for All American Rejects, or the American Association of Railroads, but I’m going with All American Rejects.

The band is also on tour and will be appearing in Tempe, AZ on April 4th.

Woo Hoo! Finally! They did it! Thanks Mike, for letting us know =)
He blogged at AllAmericanRejects.com regarding the band’s first #1st chart position on Billboard. Here’s the blog:

Holy shit! We’ve been doing this thing for seven years now, and I
don’t know if any of us thought that after all this time we’d still be
hitting new heights as a band, but this week “Gives You Hell” has
become our first #1 song!!! Insane! Obviously, we couldn’t be more
stoked, and we can’t say thanks enough to all you guys who helped put
it up there. Check out the link below to see it straight from the
Billboard’s mouth. We’re still reeling. Who wants to celebrate after
the show tonight? Bring it!…

There’s Been No Wrong Turns, There’s Just Been Detours: An Interview with the All-American Rejects
by Evan Sawdey
PopMatters Associate Interviews Editor

All-American Rejects guitarist Nick Wheeler doesn’t care about matching the success of his last album, what other people think of him, or what album covers he lands on. All he cares about is his music.

Maybe we’ve all been wrong about the All-American Rejects.

The Rejects, lead by songwriters Tyson Ritter (vocals) and Nick Wheeler (guitar), were always a bit hard to categorize. After all, though their emo-ready looks made them instant Alternative Press pinup stars, the sound of AAR was always closer to pop than rock, as if the band just couldn’t resist a good melody when it hit them. When recording their eponymous 2002 debut, Wheeler & Ritter often used tinny drum machines to flesh out their dual-guitar attacks, soon expanding into the full-band format with 2005’s mega-hit Move Along, a soaring guitar-pop disc that spawned hits like “ Dirty Little Secret” and the title track. Now, with their new album When the World Comes Down having come out in December of last year, the Rejects are ready to once again conquer the charts and possibly the world.

There’s only one problem: they don’t really care.

When interviewing guitarist Nick Wheeler, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. When I mentioned burgeoning alt-rock acts like AP-darlings Forever the Sickest Kids, Wheeler responded simply: “I was gonna say ‘Who?’ but then you said AP and I’m like ‘Oh—yeah, I don’t really give a fuck anymore.’” Instead, he got excited by the mention of sugar-pop maestros Fountains of Wayne, noting that FOW bassist Adam Schlesinger wrote the Oscar-nominated theme song to the 1996 Tom Hanks film That Thing You Do! Instead of trying to categorize himself into any particular genre, all Wheeler would admit to is that “I like upbeat rock music that you can sing along to: that’s it.” Even when I asked him if he felt like he was selling out given the Rejects’ multitude of cross-promotions with the likes of Pepsi and Honda, Wheeler said that he didn’t care what people thought, instead asking, “Who wouldn’t want to design a Pepsi can and get 500 million of ‘em out in fuckin’ every Wal-Mart across the country?” With his celebrity, he’s presented with opportunities that most of us will never have, and instead of worrying about his standing with the rock community, he instead seizes every once-in-a-lifetime moment that he can, never once looking back with regret. When you take all of this into account, the band’s acoustic cover of Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” starts to make sense.

Though this interview was conducted a few weeks prior to the release of When the World Comes Down, it didn’t stop Wheeler from discussing how the band is terrible at picking out singles, how little he cares about matching the commercial success of his past albums, and how he’s only now overcoming his sudden and inexplicable two-year loss of love for music.
