The All-American Rejects Share Studio Updates!
Last year, The All-American Rejects, spent April, June, and July working on new songs for an upcoming EP. They also confirmed that they were working with producer Benny Cassette on the 5 or 6 new songs. The band even debuted a new song, “DGAF,” during their summer tour. Last month, frontman Tyson Ritter said the band was working on a music video for the new single.
While we wait for the “DGAF” video, The All-American Rejects are keeping busy with more studio time! Earlier this month, Tyson and guitarist Mike Kennerty shared plenty of behind-the-scenes looks at their recording process. They’ve finished at least 2 or 3 songs in the last few weeks.
I just realized I'm at my weirdest when we're about to go record new songs. It's such a strange cementing moment….
