Pop-punk band All-American Rejects dropped by AOL Music's Los Angeles studio recently, to perform a selection of songs from their latest album 'Kids in the Street.' Following the band's typically energetic performance, we talked with singer/bassist Tyson Ritter and lead guitarist Nick Wheeler about their writing process, their early years in the Oklahoma punk scene, the women that drove them to write songs like their new single 'Beekeeper's Daughter,' and the reason they'll never put out a dance-pop record.
"We've done something that has taken us ten years to do, find our voice as a band. Bands that just ride on the back of a trend, you know. If we would have put out a dubstep record I would have kicked my own ass. On camera." -- Singer Tyson Ritter
