 
Hailing from Oklahoma, the All-American Rejects
consists of Tyson Ritter on vocals and bass, Nick
Wheeler on guitars and keyboards, Mike Kennerty on
guitar, and Chris Gaylor on drums. The group was
formed in 2001 by Ritter and Wheeler, and their name
was created by combining the suggestions 'The
All-Americans' and 'The Rejects.' Originally, Ritter
and Wheeler began touring and giving out demos of
their songs (the EP Same Girl, New Songs)
with drummer Tim Cambell. Campbell left the group
before they had signed with an independent label,
Doghouse Records. Kennerty and Gaylor joined the duo
and shortly after they had recorded their debut LP.
