New Album “Sandbox” Arrives Spring 2026
Fresh off a massive arena tour supporting the Jonas Brothers, multi-platinum pop-rock icons The All-American Rejects are back with “Get This,” a vibrant and irresistibly catchy new single. The track serves as the electrifying preview of their eagerly awaited new album, Sandbox, slated for release in Spring 2026.
“Get This” captures the band’s signature sound—energetic, melodic, and full of the kind of hooks that defined early classics like “Gives You Hell” and “Move Along.” The song arrives with a playful, visually-striking music video inspired by classic holiday films, featuring the band across five imaginative and cheeky sets.
Frontman Tyson Ritter shared the story behind the track:
“Some hooks stick with you like something heavy in your pocket—they just don’t shake loose. ‘Get This’ came to life during a drive, written in the sunshine on the back porch of our family home. It’s pure fun, made with the people we love around us.”
2025 has been a landmark year for the band, kicked off by the viral success of their “House Party Tour,” which captivated fans worldwide and is set to go global in 2026. After teasing new music earlier this year, the Rejects have roared back into the spotlight, winning over a new generation of listeners while reconnecting with longtime fans.
Their breakout single “Easy Come, Easy Go” became a viral phenomenon, amassing hundreds of millions of views across three music videos and earning a live performance on Jimmy Kimmel. The accompanying House Party Tour quickly evolved into a cultural moment, earning coverage from major outlets like CNN, NPR, The FADER, New York Magazine, and Nightline.
“Get This” follows recent well-received singles “Eggshell Tap-Dancer” and “Search Party,” the latter premiering on MTV and being showcased on the big screens of Times Square. With the upcoming album already surpassing 10 million pre-release streams, the band is closing out a monumental year with high-profile performances, including KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas and Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve.
