AAR Taking A Year Off 2006-11-29 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 17 Comments | Ross Whatsyourname from Friends take note: this is how you take a break.
Billboard.com reports that multi-platinum rockers All-American Rejects are set to write 2007 out of their touring calendar. According to frontman Tyson Ritter (with a name like that, you know his old man wanted a dog before he wanted a son), "I think its gonna be another year before anybody hears from us again."
Ritter added: "I think people make mistakes by coming back too quick. Like the Killers, I think that was a good time that they took away. People get burnt out on sh*t easy. If you don't disappear and you're always in the spotlight, then you're just another Britney Spears, y'know?"
The group's second album, 2005's Move Along became a major hit on the strength of the single of the same name. Eighty solid weeks of touring later, the group is ready for a break- and so should the fans. "I think the world needs to take a breath away from the All-American Rejects."
The group bows out with an itunes-only single, Bite Back, produced by the amazing Butch Walker, but Ritter insists the band will continue to write new material while on hiatus. "I think we're always gonna keep going somewhere forward in our songwriting, in our sound.
"We definitely are a band that tries to get the biggest-sounding record out there, and we're gonna try again. But I don't anticipate it being as slick as [Move Along]. I think it's gonna be in-between the first and second records as far as sound goes."

That's cool. Decent band.
@SOP: The 5th paragraph (the one that starts with 'Ritter continues,' is the same as the 3rd paragraph, so you might wanna get rid of one of them.

Don't worry about it, you can't catch everything all the time.
| | |
I don't like these people, but its nice to hear that they obviously have some sense.
| | |
haha when i first saw the title i thought Alient Ant Farm taking a year off...? from what?
anyway i think when they come back they won't reach the success they've got now.

good plan. The world can only stand so much musical crack.
| | |
Cool, good idea on the band's part.

What idiots. Fleetwood Mac made an album every year from 1967-1975 and no one got sick of them. Van Halen made an album every year for like 7 years. REM did it for like 12. None of them ended up like Britney Spears.
| | |
Pat, you weren't around from 1967-1975, so how would you know no one got sick of them?
If you have a time machine I want in.
| | |
pat is an idiot. look at green day. thats the kind of thing they want to avoid. also, incase you hadnt noticed, the 70s and 80s are over.
| | |
Hahahaha, classic^.
This band is ok, not the worst but not the best of todays mainstream.
| | |
How will the world continue without AAR?!
| | |
@Electric City: When all you got to keep is strong,
Move along, move along like I know you do...
| | |
Yeah, probably a good idea.
| | |
Otisbum wins
| | |
Thank God
| | |
I wouldn't get sick of my favorite band if they made an album every year.This Message Edited On 11.30.06

They can write some catchy shit... but his vocals are so fucking annoying that I can't listen to them for too long.
