- December 8, 2013
Settle in for a raucous night of pop punk with The All-American Rejects on this episode of AXS TV Concerts. The band burst onto the scene in the early 2000s with their energetic and catchy tracks, and their live shows are no exception.
Filmed in 2012 at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO, this concert features all of the band's biggest hits and fan favorites. Lead singer Tyson Ritter commands the stage with his signature gritty vocals and dynamic stage presence, while the rest of the band (guitarist Nick Wheeler, drummer Chris Gaylor, and bassist Mike Kennerty) keep the energy high with their tight instrumentals and contagious enthusiasm.
The setlist spans the band's entire career, from their breakout hit "Swing, Swing" to newer tracks like "Beekeeper's Daughter" and "Kids in the Street." The All-American Rejects also showcase their versatility with acoustic renditions of "Mona Lisa" and "Gives You Hell," proving that their songs hold up even without the driving electric guitars and pulsing drums.
One of the highlights of the concert is the band's cover of "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News, which they infuse with their own brand of high-energy pop punk. The crowd goes wild as Ritter and Wheeler revive the iconic "back to the future" scene with their own guitar heroics.
Throughout the concert, the band's chemistry and camaraderie is evident, as they banter with each other and the crowd between songs. Ritter even takes a moment to reminisce about the band's early days of touring in a van and sleeping on fans' floors, which only endears him and the band to the audience even more.
