All-American Rejects Announce New Album

The arrival of album number three from hugely successful pop-punk pups the "All-American Rejects" is now in sight. Going by the name of "When the World Comes Down" it has zeroed in on November 18, 2008 for its launch.

The band have worked with producer Eric Valentine for the first time on this album. He has previously helped bands such as Maroon 5, Smash Mouth, Good Charlotte and Queens Of the Stone Age realised their vision. Still, one out of four isn't too bad.

The first single from the album has already been chosen. It will be "Gives You Hell", and you lucky people can listen to it already via the art of the Imeem stream.

"It's what we were put on this earth to create," says Tyson Ritter of the new album. "This record hasn't been smooth sailing," confesses guitarist Nick Wheeler of 'When the World Comes Down'. The new album was conceived from one end of the country to the other - from a secluded cabin in the Georgia wilderness (where "Mona Lisa" came to be), to a small place that Ritter and Wheeler own on Florida%u2019s Gulf Coast ("The Real World"), to the back of a bus driving down the Interstate 10 ("Breaking's What the Heart Is For"), and yet another road trip (to Vancouver, for "Gives You Hell"). The album also features the band's first duet on the song "Another Heart Calls" for which they roped in Alabama sisters The Pierces.

All-American Rejects' previous album "Move Along" has now shifted nearly six million copies and kept itself in the Billboard 200 chart for around two years. We're sure there'll be no pressure on the follow-up.
