It's been more than a decade since the All-American Rejects shared a full-length album with the world. In that time, the band took a break from making radio-ready anthems and split from their major label. They stopped releasing music altogether, save for a few singles here and there. But last year, the band came surging back into public view with the success of their viral DIY house party tour, where they performed everywhere from a cornfield to a bowling alley. Now, after the fervor of those live shows, the All-American Rejects are back to recapture that energy with their fifth…
Article by Alessandro Canalicchio Monday 18 May 2026, general strike day. The USB stops trains, buses, half of Italy and the rain takes its toll: Milan is a grey, hostile quagmire. Yet out of the Fabrique in via Fantoli, under the water, there is a queue of kids who have no intention of giving up.

Reality competition was still new, and no one — not even the show's top brass — knew exactly what they were making or how the next 39 days would play out. But one contestant seemed certain of how it would end. “I've got the million-dollar check written already. I mean, I'm the winner,” Richard Hatch told the camera in his first “confessional” interview. He was playing up his confidence, performing a…
