The All-American Rejects will finally follow-up 2012’s Kids In The Street, and they’ve got a new single called Sandbox dropping next month.
Following on from last September’s surprise cover of Harvey Danger’s Flagpole Sitta, The All-American Rejects have confirmed that at long last, a proper studio album is on the way.
Tyson Ritter and co. will finally follow-up 2012’s Kids In The Street album, and are set to preview what’s to come with new single Sandbox on April 24 (the full album doesn’t yet have an official release date).
In a recent interview with PAPER detailing how they’ve gotten to this point of working on new material together, Tyson reflected that it’s taken A-AR “a lot of fireside chats” and a “lot of mending fences”.
“That’s exciting,” he said. “I think I said in an interview, people don’t really want a new All-American Rejects record. People want their time capsule and want to jump into it and feel like they smell CK One and it makes them feel young. But the question I pose is, ‘What if we can say something now? What if we can actually resonate?’”
“People say they want new music from certain bands, but they don’t necessarily want stuff that sounds exactly like the stuff we already gave them and nostalgic feels... they already have that,” agreed guitarist Nick Wheeler. “If we’re going to do something, we’re going to do something different that hopefully resonates with them, as well as a new audience.”
