THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS

At once typical (that band name) of and unabashedly more commercial (their self-titled debut album went platinum) than the pop-punk scene they've been a part of for a decade now, the All-American Rejects aren't ones to stir up the genre. Ever since their 2002 breakthrough single “Swing, Swing,” the Oklahoma band – led by singer and bassist Tyson Ritter – has released a steady stream of songs about getting their hearts broken, mostly by girls who don't even know they exist. Things are pretty much the same on their just-released fourth album, Kids in the Street. Ritter pines over a “Beekeeper's Daughter” on the LP's first single, buzzing around her hive in hopes she'll glance his way and give him some honey. And on “Someday's Gone” he calls a girl a bad trip before melting at the mere thought of her. It's romantic hopelessness powered by hooks as big as Ritter's fractured heart. Everything leads to a dead-end street with the All-American Rejects, but nobody expects things to turn out any other way. With Rocket to the Moon. 8 p.m. Tickets: $28.50 - $35. – Michael Gallucci
