The All-American Rejects have officially signed with Biz3 for PR—a move that suggests they’re not just reminiscing about the glory days of mid-2000s radio, but actively writing their next chapter. The band continues to be repped by UTA for touring and managed by High Maintenance Management, forming a team that seems equal parts nostalgic and strategic, kind of like wearing a vintage band tee with a $1,000 leather jacket.

And there’s real momentum here. Since December, the Rejects’ Spotify monthly listeners have quietly surged from 7 million to over 10 million—growth that isn’t exactly pop-punk standard issue in 2024. Top markets include Chicago, L.A., New York, Sydney, and Dallas, which tracks if you think about the cities where people still scream “Swing, Swing” at karaoke like it’s a group therapy exercise.
This month’s new single “Sandbox,” released via their label Slick Shoes, might not be chasing charts, but it’s definitely chasing an idea: that a band with a well-aged catalog and just the right dash of millennial trauma can still play a relevant role in the current music ecosystem. They’re not rebranding. They’re reengaging.
Biz3, of course, specializes in shaping the narrative for artists who straddle indie credibility and mainstream visibility—see: Danny Brown, Skrillex, and JPEGMAFIA—which makes it a curious and oddly perfect fit. The Rejects aren’t pretending they’re the next TikTok core trend. They’re just playing the long game. Slowly, methodically, and with the smirking confidence of a band that knows every festival lineup now needs at least one act from your iPod Classic.
