The All-American Rejects Are On Epitaph Records

No this ain’t a joke.

Pop-punk legends The All-American Rejects have apparently made a deal with independent label Epitaph Records (Culture Abuse, Falling In Reverse, Quicksand). The news came out a few days ago after Epitaph made a tweet talking about the band’s newest EP She Goes To Eleven, which is supposed to come out July 16, as well as a new song called “Send Her To Heaven”. The Reddit page r/allamericanrejects also confirmed the signing.

The All-American Rejects will be appearing at the Vans Warped Tour 25th show in Mountain View, Calif., on Sunday, July 21 with Bad Cop / Bad Cop, Dance Gavin Dance, Go Betty Go, NOFX, and Shiragirl.

Warped Tour’s Lineups For Their 25th Anniversary Shows Have Been Announced

It’s here!

After months of waiting, we finally know who’s playing in Cleveland, Ohio, Mountain View, Calif., and Atlantic City, N.J. The lineups fluctuate between amazing and WTF. Here’s info on all three shows.

Cleveland

The midwestern date for Cleveland is a little lackluster, only featuring six bands in total. The bands playing are Chali 2NA & Cut Chemist, Emery, Hawthorne Heights, Peter McPoland And The Haps, We The Kings, and Simple Plan. But the show isn’t the main reason behind the Ohio date. The reason is that a special Warped Tour exhibit called Forever Warped: 25 Years of Vans Warped Tour at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. There will also be a mini vert ramp and an after party.

Atlantic City

Here’s where the fun begins. Late June shows Warped going to the beach in Atlantic City, N.J., giving us surf, sun, and so much music. Over 50+ bands will appear on the two days. Artists like 311, Man Overboard, Gym Class Heroes, CKY, Hidden In Plain View, Save Ferris, The Aquabats!, Blink-182, A Day To Remember, and Good Charlotte, will appear, among tons of other fine acts. Warped takes over A.C. beach from Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30. Check out the lineup below.

Mountain View

Warped will end it all in the state where it began. The final 25th anniversary show will be held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif. from Saturday, June 20 to Sunday, July 21. Bands appearing include The All-American Rejects, Dance Gavin Dance, NOFX,  Lagwagon, Sum 41, Ariana And The Rose, Confide, Silverstein, Jawbreaker, and Street Drum Corps, plus tons of others. Check out the full lineup below.

Tickets for the events are available now, but get them quick.
