The All-American Rejects is an American power pop band from Stillwater, Oklahoma formed by Tyson Ritter (lead vocals, bass) and Nick Wheeler (vocals, guitar) when they were in junior high school.

Their breakthrough 2005 album, Move Along, has been certified Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA. The All-American Rejects have also sold an estimated total of 4 million CDs worldwide.

In the summer of 2001, the Rejects released the EP Same Girl, New Songs and began to tour the American Midwest. By the tour's end, the band had signed a contract with Doghouse Records the label of such bands as River City High and The Get Up Kids.

On July 12, 2005, they released Move Along, from which came the single "Dirty Little Secret". The music video featured images from collective art project PostSecret.

The second single, "Move Along", was released in January 2006. Within the first weeks after premiering their video, it had been on the Total Request Live countdown ever since, hitting number one four days in a row, moving from place to place.

Oddly, on the Billboard Hot 100, the single didn't hit peak until almost six months later in June, making it one of the longest-lasting singles by the Rejects. "Move Along" was then nominated for "Best Editing in a Video" and "Best Group Video" at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, the latter of which they won.

In addition, the band performed "Move Along" live at the VMAs on Thursday, August 31, 2006. The band was also nominated for Choice Rock Group in the Teen Choice Awards, but lost out to Fall Out Boy. In May 2006, they did a cover of Def Leppard's "Photograph" on VH1 Rock Honors.
