What a great day to be an AAR fan! They just released their cover of Harvey Danger’s ‘Flagpole Sitta! Will we get more AAR music in the future? We’re not sure, but we’re stoked about anything they put out. You can listen to their cover ‘Flagpole Sitta’ below.
To get you even more hyped for their upcoming festival performances, (including When We Were Young Fest!) here are our top 5 favorite songs from some of the different eras of The All American Rejects.
‘My Paper Heart’
The intro track of their self-titled album is truly iconic. Whether you listened to it today (like we did) or it’s been a minute, you’ll want to sing this song at the top of your lungs. Did anyone else have ‘My Paper Heart’ lyrics as their AIM status?
‘Dirty Little Secret’
We can’t not talk about our favorite AAR songs without mentioning this one. 2005 was a pretty iconic year for emo/adjacent music as a whole, but this song was everywhere. And honestly, it was well deserved because it goes hard.
‘Gives You Hell’
Just like ‘Dirty Little Secret’ was to 2005, ‘Gives You Hell’ had the same impact in 2008. No one was doing it like AAR. Not only was it only a defining breakup anthem of the year, but also of all time. That’s all there really is to say.
‘Kids In The Street’
We loved the Kids In The Street era. This song is an absolute bop. It’s just such a fun pop-rock song. While it’s one of their longer songs at 4 minutes and 45 seconds, you can bet we’re enjoying every second of it and playing it on repeat.
‘Sweat’
Even though Kids In The Street was their last actual album, they did release more singles throughout the years. Their single ‘Sweat’ from 2017 is an absolute banger. We’re obsessed with the punchy chorus and it’s what makes it so addictive.
