It’s been an adventure just cutting this EP.". The band consists of lead vocalist and bassist Tyson Ritter, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Nick Wheeler, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Mike Kennerty, and drummer Chris Gaylor.Wheeler and Ritter are the band's songwriters; Wheeler is the primary composer and Ritter is the primary lyricist. "Yes! You know - like, if The Cure did that? You’re kidding me - really?”, Yeah, July eighth? It became a thing because they replied, ‘Yeah sure, just get 50,000 retweets’. And honestly, we’ve had these songs in our pocket for two - almost three years. Says Tyson: “Thank you! In the space of 10 days they've transitioned from complete silence, all the way to dropping a brand new EP. "We're all excited just to be able to be creative and do what we want now." ‘Gen Why [DGAF]’ is definitely the standout on the EP - it feels very tongue in cheek, but also like a statement on youth culture. I really don’t know. If you recognize the actor playing Humperdoo in Preacher, here's why.
These are like three first dates. He has appeared in five episodes as recurring. Craig first began contributing to Screen Rant in 2016, several years after graduating college, and has been ranting ever since, mostly to himself in a darkened room. Send us a tip using our annonymous form. Is it gonna be the last?
But we just couldn’t make it work! You’ve teased, announced and dropped it all in the space of 10 days.
“Maybe there’s just- wow - how about that, huh? Even at the height of his All American Rejects fame, Ritter was also working as a model and began an acting career in 2007 with an appearance in Hugh Laurie medical drama, House. Mike [Kennerty] our guitarist was like ‘hey, I’ve got Brett [Gurewitz] from Epitaph’s email, I’ll just connect us all’, because Mike did some stuff on 7” records for an Epitaph band or something like that - Mike produces records. Especially to people in bands. For me it’s evocative. "If we're talking departure from where you know us from, which is 15 years ago - ‘Sweat’ and ‘Close Your Eyes’ was that and more. I think we celebrate the fact that we’re still here and getting to do this every year - and of course with a 15th anniversary next year we’ll probably favour a lot of the ‘Move Along’ tracks when we play, but it’ll still be a rock 'n' roll Rejects show just like its always been. Until ‘Kids In The Street’, where that whole shift changed into ‘Sweat’. The casting also speaks somewhat to Ritter's career outlook. Like, people just whisper at midnight, ‘Hey I just made myself a birthday cake.
So this song has been sitting, burning this candy-coated hole in our pocket for years. "The last thing we did on Interscope was the first time where we had this really thoughtful approach, because it started feeling more natural to me. Active in the early-mid 2000s, All American Rejects had a string of hits including "Dirty Little Secret," "Move Along" and "Gives You Hell." We’re all excited to just release songs that kind of got shelved a couple of years ago at Interscope, because we were just in this transitional moment - but also just to be able to be creative and do what we want now. Especially for us, being a band on that label - we were sort of the pop-rock black sheep that always made sense there, I guess. With the last release, you noted that the accompanying video and visuals were really important to the narrative you’d constructed - is that carrying over into this new era? Unable to converse besides the odd nonsensical word, Humperdoo seems to only take pleasure in tap dancing and expelling his bodily fluids over other people.

Clearly seeing the potential issues with appointing Humperdoo as the savior and leader of all creation, Starr turned to Jesse Custer as an alternative but, in Preacher season 3, Jesse and Starr's partnership came to a head-splitting end, forcing the Grail to go all-in on the Humperdoo plan once again.
Anyway, he connected us, and Brett was like, ‘Yeah man, send me some tunes and let me see what you guys are doing’, and we were like, ‘Wow - Epitaph could be a home for us’. I don’t know - maybe it’s triggering? ", You announced this new EP two years to the day since you released the ‘Sweat’ EP - is there any significance in that?
The fact that such a ridiculous character with such gross habits is played by a male model and famous rockstar, with legions of doting fans across the world, adds a self-referential irony to Humperdoo that few TV shows could get away with. "Yeah, we were talking about taping some tunes together and just seeing if we could find a home for them. I think it comes from the fact that Nick [Wheeler, lead guitar] and I have always just been songwriters. Jim Carrey is Craig’s top acting pick and favorite topics include superheroes, anime and the unrecognized genius of the High School Musical trilogy.
I guess back in the day it felt a little more free, but now there’s this ultimate moment for us where we can just create as a band and just come together for the music. I think the visualisers just carry over with the whole cinematic approach to all this shit. So I made a story up about her. I think it’s going to be something as bizarre as the difference between this EP and the ‘Sweat’ EP. And that sentence can connect itself to other bizarre moments, and I think that’s how this song came out. Welcome back to the world of music! So we got them this double-neck guitar that we all signed, and it was so cool and ridiculous - and they were still pretty bummed about it.

Active in the early-mid 2000s, All American Rejects had a string of hits including "Dirty Little Secret," "Move Along" and "Gives You Hell." "Yeah - I think it’s more just that growing up with the band, sometimes you just grow apart from places that you started and find places that you end up being a lot freer. First I think we just want to make sure that we go out there and support an EP successfully on our end, as far as our availability goes. "Is it though? The All American Rejects frontman plays the dual role of Humperdoo and Jesus on the cult hit series. ", "It’s funny because Interscope was afraid to release that song. Sign up for free now.
Especially with playing Warped Tour - we want them out for that. As for the lyrical irony as a thing that I was going for, it creates this really bizarre moment for us as a band which we’ve always been kind of nervous about.
Humperdoo is a jarring, if quintessentially Preacher-ish, character, but his comedic value is perhaps enhanced by knowing the background of the actor portraying this messy Messiah. ", And while you were working on Preacher, the other members of the band had their own projects too... ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ Welcomes Back Limited, Masked Live Studio Audience, ‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’: Jee Young Han & Felix Mallard To Recur On Season 2, Lewaa Nasserdeen Semi-Autobiographical Comedy Drama From Skydance TV In Works At Showtime, Fox’s ‘MasterChef’ Resumes Production On Season 11, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly For Latest Quarters At Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google & Twitter, The CW Sets 2021 Premiere Dates For ‘Flash’, ‘Batwoman’, ‘Riverdale’, ‘Walker’, ‘Nancy Drew’, ‘Charmed’ & More, Netflix To Raise U.S. Subscriptions Prices On Certain Tiers; Streamer’s First Increase Since January 2019, Hot Title: Jessica Chastain-Anne Hathaway Thriller About Rival 1960s Housewives Headed To AFM Via Anton. ", Which you’re doing at the end of this week for the final ever Warped Tour! Did that ever happen? So playing shows has become something even more special to me. It would be like, ‘Hey remember when we did this way back when we were 17? It’s a festering of Rejects music every two years - there has to be a purge.”, You’ve been living in Australia for the past five months on an ‘unnamed’ and ‘secret’ project - are you able to talk about that yet? "With ‘DGAF’, it sort of has this angst about it that I wanted to capture. He is repped by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Behr Abramson Levy. Even in finding the sound that can define the charm of a song - like with ‘Gives You Hell’ it kinda has this tongue in cheek little bop at the start of the song with this little chime-y, almost irritating organ (laughs). But I don’t think we could do a full tour of it. And I love that - I love being nervous about music, because at least it’s evoking something.".
He left, and then all of a sudden it got bought out by this really large umbrella [company] and things changed as the upper management changed. I guarantee it - we’re gonna be at every damn one of those farewell Warped Tours. But the thing is we couldn’t book another show in Oklahoma, because it was going to cost us a fucking fortune to play. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

Just going to do the show, getting everyone together and getting our crew together, it was going to be ridiculous. “Two years to the day? I don’t know, it’s just not for me. "So this little offering [‘Send Her To Heaven’] has become sort of a good-will moment for us as a band, where we’re not really forcing it. Absolutely - and I think it’s gonna be weird. "Yeah!
