The All-American Rejects turned bruised romance into arena-sized pop-rock and became one of the most radio-dominant bands of the 2000s. Formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma by frontman Tyson Ritter and guitarist Nick Wheeler, they built their sound on huge, glossy hooks, power-pop guitars and Ritter's theatrical, sneering charisma. Their self-titled 2002 debut launched 'Swing, Swing,' and the follow-up 'Move Along' delivered a run of inescapable singles — 'Dirty Little Secret,' the title track and 'It Ends Tonight' — that lived on TRL and pop radio in equal measure. Later, 'Gives You Hell' gave them one of the decade's most gleefully spiteful kiss-offs. Slicker and poppier than their punk peers, they filtered emo's angst through mainstream polish, pairing catchy misery with production built for the biggest possible chorus. After a gap, 2012's 'Beekeeper's Daughter' proved the formula still worked, and their singles remain fixtures of any 2000s throwback playlist. Nick Wheeler's crisp, hook-obsessed production and Ritter's larger-than-life stage persona made them as much a pop act as a rock band. For emo-tinged pop-rock with an eye firmly on the charts, the Rejects are a definitive reference.
