It Ends Tonight - All-American Rejects

A cool song from a band that a lot of people don't give any credit. I actually like some of their stuff despite the fact that they are just a pop-rock radio phenom. The group formed in Stillwater, OK in 1999. Bassist, pianist, and lead vocalist Tyson Ritter met lead guitarist Nick Wheeler at a show where an eariler band of Wheeler's was performing. Ritter enjoyed the group enough that he offered himself up as a bassist for that or any other project Wheeler might need him on in the future. Shortly there after, while still in high school, the two would start All-American Rejects.


The band's first, self-title album garnered some success with the single, "Swing, Swing". When the group's second album, Move Along, was released, their success grew exponentially. With the hits "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along" in the album's mix, the group became a common radio play. The band continues to perform today, recently headlining the Slam Dunk tour in the UK>
