The Pre all American Rejects childhood era consisted of two bands. One band was known as the Drowning Fish and included the future All-American Reject, Nick Wheeler. At the time, Wheeler was his band's drummer. Also, a part of the Drowning Fish was guitarist Jessee Tabish, who is now playing with a rising Oklahoma indie act, Kunek. Tyson Ritter's first band was known as Curbside Service.
Ritter stuck mainly to vocals because he was still learning to play the guitar at the time. After Ritter and Wheeler met at a party, Wheeler informed Ritter that his band was in need of a bass player.
Ritter responded by telling Wheeler that he was their man even though he had never really attempted to play a bass guitar in his life. In 1998, Ritter joined up with Tabish and Wheeler and the All-American Rejects were formed.
The name of the band was inspired by a compromise between two suggested names, The All-Americans, and The Rejects are what are the names of the all American Rejects considered.
After parting ways with Tabish in 2000, the All-American Rejects became a two man show. Ritter led the way with his charisma and bass playing ability and Wheeler switched from drummer to guitar player. The band also used a drum machine that was pre-programmed by Wheeler. The all American Rejects the band released their first independent album in the spring of 2000, and eventually built up a large local fanbase. They went on to open for The Flaming Lips and Caroline's Spine. Their music was also licensed for use on then-hit MTV show Undressed.
Nick Wheeler's pre-All-American Rejects band, Drowning Fish, released one CD in 1998 titled "Belly-Up" before adding Tyson Ritter and forming the band offically known as The All-American Rejects.
Mike Kennerty (guitar, vocals) and Chris Gaylor (drums, percussion) joined in 2002. That year, with producer Tim O'Heir (who had, in the past, worked with bands like Superdrag, Sebadoh, and Juliana Hatfield), the all American Rejects the band recorded their international debut album. From this album came the single "Swing, Swing," and bite back ep by all American Rejects for which the Rejects were best-known for several years (so much so, in fact, that some termed the band a one-hit wonder). |
