Preview: All-American Rejects

April 9, 2009 – When All-American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter dons his sparkly purple shell-toes and performs in front of half a dozen stacks of crowd-blinders, you know it’s going to take a little speed and a lot of luck. But either way, you have to make it happen. Failure is not an option.
