Multi-Platinum Recording Group, The All-American Rejects Share Their Secrets, Rock with Milk | News

IGA — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:17:00 GMT

As they finish up their third album- the follow up to their two-time Platinum award-winning sophomore CD, "Move Along"- and embark on a nationwide tour, it’s no secret that The All-American Rejects need to stay in tip-top shape. Long hours in the recording studio and on stage call for a fit body and plenty of energy. That’s why the members of the multi-Platinum award-winning rock band include milk in their daily diets, which along with eating right and exercise, helps them stay healthy, lean and fit.

Band members Tyson Ritter, Nick Wheeler, Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor are the latest celebrities to join the “Body By Milk” campaign, which encourages teens to drink three glasses of lowfat or fat free milk everyday, eat right and be active to stay lean and healthy. Other stars to recently sport the ‘stache include Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Hayden Panettiere and Steve Nash.

Feelin' “AAR”-tistic?
The All-American Rejects are looking to Body By Milk fans to design a creative poster to announce the release of their latest album – due out in the fall. The winning design, selected by the Rejects themselves, will inspire a poster that will be displayed at concerts, music stores and schools all around the country. The winner, along with the five top designers also will receive a framed, signed poster of their artwork and a copy of AAR's latest album.

Fans just need to show The Rejects how they, too, rock out with milk – simply by adding some spice to their new Milk Mustache ad. Head to bodybymilk.com to download AAR’s new Milk Mustache ad; then, paint it, draw it, collage it ... whatever showcases their love for milk and “AARt!”

For more “AARt” inspiration, check out exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of AAR at their first Milk Mustache shoot and inside the studio as they record their third album – available only at bodybymilk.com. And while you’re there, check out exclusive behind-the-scenes videos from some of the latest got milk? celebs and grab the new Body By Milk “widget”!

MTV Discusses New Album with the Rejects | News

IGA — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:57:00 GMT

MTV recently spoke with Tyson about the new album! Excerpt below:

"I don't want to have any regrets, dude. I worry about stuff like, 'Is this song the best thing we've ever done?' " he laughed. "There have been points where we've had a bunch of good songs, but good doesn't make the cut for this record. I find myself going, 'Sh--, if this isn't a good song, I'm gonna kill myself.' "

Canceling shows always sucks... | News

TheAllAmericanRejects — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:07:00 GMT

So planning stuff six months in advance can be tough, and can come back to bite ya in the ass sometimes, and unfortunately we've walked into just a situation... We're still working really diligently on the new record, and its coming along, but we're in a spot where we just can't break away from it right now, which means we gotta cancel some shows. It was a really tough decision, but it came down to potentially having to push the record back til next year, and i don't know about you guys, but we just can't wait that long. So we're bummed to say it, but we're not doing Warped Tour this year or our Canadian tour with Simple Plan. We can't apologize enough to all you guys who were excited to see us, and hopefully we can make it up to you really soon (hopefully first with a really good record). We also can't give enough apologies to everyone involved with Warped Tour and Simple Plan. Thank you so much for understanding. We are still doing the handful of shows with Bon Jovi, so if you're coming out to those, we'll see ya there!

later,

AAR on VH1's Top 40 of 2007, Featured in new issue of AP | News

TheAllAmericanRejects — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 05:25:00 GMT

Hey, guys! So it may seem like its been slow goings around the AAR camp, but I swear we've been busy working on this new record in hopes of appeasing you very, very patient people. We're by no means on the home stretch, but rest assured, its coming along.

In the meantime, here are a couple things to check out...

In the newest issue of Alternative Press (#234, with Jack's Mannequin on the cover), we're dubbed one of the "Most Anticipated Albums of 2008." Last time they put us on that list we didn't release a record the next year! Here's to not making it a pattern... Anyway, there's a nice little article and pic of us definitely looking our age...

Apparently we've also made VH1's Top 40 Videos of 2007 countdown. We're pretty stoked on that. We haven't seen it, but they told us we're in the top 20. They also had us sit down and talk about a few of the other videos on the countdown. Our comments ranged from offensive to blasphemous, so we're really curious to see what they use (and whether or not Michael Buble is gonna sue us for libel).

Hope you guys all have good holidays and such!!!

Hi ya! Mike here. As some of you might know I've been working hard the past few month producing the new solo record from Ben Weasel (ex-Screeching Weasel, Riverdales). Well, I'm happy to say that as of right now it is available for download via iTunes!

Just CLICK HERE to check it out!

Here's the scoop... I produced and played guitar, Chris played drums, Dan from Alkaline Trio played bass, and Ben wrote and sang some killer tunes. If you don't know who Ben is, in short, he's a punk rock icon who helped lay the foundation of pop-punk. I learned to play guitar listening to his records, so its a huge honor to get to work with him. I hope you guys dig the album!!!

The weather is beautiful in Oklahoma, and that makes me happy. Especially after that chilly morning we had in NY the other day. Big "thank you"s to all of you guys that got up super early (or never went to sleep) in order to come out to the Today Show. We hope you had fun. It was nice seeing some familiar faces in the crowd.

So now its back to our (sort of) break (i.e. working on the new record). But there are some things coming to tide you guys over. The DVD is entering its final stages. We'll probably post the cover art really soon. Tyson is keeping busy with the new line of TBR stuff. The Ben Weasel record I've been working on is done and will be available for download next month (CLICK HERE for the cover art and tracklisting and info). And there might be a few extra fun things popping up throughout the summer. Plus a handful of shows, so hopefully we'll see some of you guys there.

I saw that movie "Bug" last night. That's not what Oklahoma is like. Pretty entertaining movie, nonetheless.

We're still getting back into this touring thing again, even if it is only breifly. Muscles are sore, voices are hoarse. But its been fun as hell again so far. Here are some pics of a few new fashions we've picked up on the past few days. Take note... (and yeah, white t-shirts are totally back)

Hello! So its been awhile since we've had any news, so I figured I give you guys a little update on what we're up to...

Today we begin the process of mixing the new DVD, and its turning out pretty cool (especially the behind the scenes junk). Definitely a step up from the last one. You can expect that in the summertime.

If you go see that movie "Meet the Robinsons" you'll hear a new track we recently recorded. This is the song we were working on with Danny Elfman, which was an amazing experience. I'm mean, c'mon, he wrote the Simpsons theme...

And writing has begun for "Record #3." Its in the very beginning stages, so not much to tell, but its on its way.

So a lot people get kinda upset with me for being so bad with returning messages on my personal Myspace page. Since I use that one mainly to keep in contact with friends, I've set up a sepereate one for any of you guys who want to just shoot the shit and talk about whatever. Plus I'll keep it updated with everything I'm up to, Rejects or otherwise (which there's been a lot lately). So yeah, drop me a line... www.myspace.com/mkennerty
