I will be interviewing the guys of All-American Rejects (http://www.allamericanrejects.com/splash-release_week.html) next week. Leave any questions you have for them in the replies and I will do my best to get them answered. The new album "Move Along" is in stores now.

I notice the Rejects are going to Japan on tour, as many other bands are doing these days. Generally, the average person does not think of an international "scene" existing far beyond western Europe, so I will ask them, how is the "scene" in countries such as Japan in comparison to ours, and how do international fans receive bands such as themselves?

Ask... How they felt when their label made them scrap the "darker" cd that they made. And if they'll ever release any of it.

pretty much what i was going to ask...any resentment? also, how did it feel having to consciouly write a 'poppier' cd.

Also, since this is the first album with all 4 members...how was the writing process different than before.

aar intrigues me aparently.

ask the singer, "when was the last time you had somthing to eat".

pretty much same question i have...

how does it feel to have signed a contract that allows your major label the ability to make you re-write an album because your first one was not commercial enough?

do you regret signing that contract now, or does the big cash outweigh the creative sacrifice?

I just want you guys to all know that i have about 10 interviews that are in the works and ready to be posted. I am in between moves and only have internet when i am at my friends house, so sorry for lack of updates. But I will hope to post them soon.

please don't pussyfoot around the issue of them re-writing their album because the label told them too...i REALLY want to hear what they have to say, see what excuse they make. I don't know how you can be happy when the industry has you by the balls like that.

good luck!

what would you say the best album of 2005 has been so far?
what bands are you listening to right now?
is it true the second guitar player and drummer you hired really hate the bands music, and only do it for the money?

1 - THE EVRGLOW

2 - SWIFT, JUST SURRENDER, THE JUNIOR VARSITY, RUFIO

3 - yes.

the best albums of 2005 (imho) are
fall out boy (best pop punk of the year)
both bright eyes records (these both are so amazing...albums of the year)
motion city soundtrack (better than the first, which was also great)
reel big fish (comeback of the year, and fun as hell)
hidden in plain view (best new band so far)

HIPV sucks.....

and there is no way FOB is album of the year.....I love it but no.

Bright eyes - nah..discover america is better

RBF - sucks as well

MCS - great album

ap kids: let's post our own questions to ourselves and then let's answer them

the best albums are alkaline trio, nine inch nails, millencolin, and reel big fish (not in any particular order)

you kids are morons
this thread isn't about you posting your favorite albums it's a question for the band at hand
and no one cares what you think, considering almost all of them i read had that mae album which blows hard

but to the subject, i would like to know how it feels to play sugar-pop music while hopped up on cocaine

Mae-the everglow is the cheesiest release of the year, sorry guys. that lame ass intro 'please turn the page at the tone' crap is so stupid

the piano song afterward is the most de-clawed and safe sappy as shit ever

the ocean DOES NOT need the fucking WAVES! it MAKES THE WAVES along w/ tides, currents, the moon and gravity.

the academy is...is a great debut

over it was indeed a huge letdown. this place hyped that WAY too much. standard boring pop punk except for 'waiting' which is a great song.

What was different about writing and recording "Move On" as a full band, rather than your debut, which was recorded by two guys with a drum machine?

Ask Tyson if he has lots of stretch marks from losing 900 lbs., and if he has lots of excess skin hanging off his body. Do it. Do it.

Absolutely cannot put this album down...and I don't plan on trying to anytime soon either.

People need to layoff the image trip when it comes to the band and the album artwork. Yeah its a little pretentious and lame to put yourselves on the cover but who gives a fuck if the music is still something you like. Would a gigantic dildo on the cover of a Brand New album turn anyone away, or would anyone even say anything?

I dont know much about Tyson's eating habits but yeah he's skinny, just like I am. I eat all the fucking time and can't gain a pound so it kinda irks me when people get all nosy about accusing people of eating disorders. This is more a real world gripe than music related but how is it acceptable that people I come across on a day to day basis can come up to me and call me skinny or comment on how I dont weigh very much and not worry about being PC but would never walk up to someone they barely know and call them a fat ass?
