The All-American Rejects with Motion City Soundtrack, New Found Glory, and more

Minneapolis-based punk rock band Motion City Soundtrack, known for hits like “Everything Is Alright,” earned gold status, toured globally, and collaborated with Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump.

Formed in Coral Springs, Florida in 1997, New Found Glory became pop-punk trailblazers with hits like “My Friends Over You.” They've produced gold and platinum records, defined the easycore subgenre, and played on MTV. The band faced adversity when guitarist Chad Gilbert battled cancer in 2021 but turned the experience into their heartfelt acoustic album, Make the Most of It.

Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler, from Stillwater, Oklahoma, founded the emo-pop band All-American Rejects in 1999. Known for hits like "Swing, Swing," "Dirty Little Secret," and "Gives You Hell," their albums have achieved platinum status. They've collaborated with producer Greg Wells and faced challenges, including a canceled tour due to Ritter's knee surgery. Their distinctive sound, influenced by bands like AC/DC, continues to resonate, with chart success in the U.S. and U.K.
