The All-American Rejects have given us another taste of their long-awaited new album, and it’s going to be the soundtrack of the summer. With ‘Sandbox’ set to arrive on May 15, latest single ‘King Kong’ is an explosion of energy that’s going to spark some glorious singalongs at the band’s upcoming live shows. Speaking on the inspiration behind the track, frontman Tyson Ritter has shared: “‘King Kong’ is about leaving Los Angeles… I’m from a small town in Oklahoma, and I moved back home. When I got to L.A., I fell into an interesting crowd. It was the quintessential, ‘I’m in L.A. in my twenties and early thirties’, life. It’s a town where everyone is chasing the same industry. There’s no real life about it for me that I experienced until I left. Nick brought out the quality in the song. It was a very natural combination of our efforts.” 📸 aknightp #theallamericanrejects #rock #poppunk
