All American Rejects
Swing Swing

Doghouse / Dreamworks

WE SAY

No soundclip today - Thankfully not an American Idol spinoff project or one of those hideous American swing bands but a pop punk act with the emphasis on the pop. The album has scanned over 400,000 in the US to date. Swing, Swing - the first single, which they wrote themselves - could be massive. Jo Whiley is already behind it in a big way.

CONTACTS
