THEY’VE sold over three and a half million albums worldwide, with their last release — “Move Along” — going gold.

Now, after spending most of 2008 busy in the studio, the All American Rejects are finally ready to release their third album.

“When The World Comes Down”, which is released on February 9, is a collection of upbeat, pop-twinged rock tracks that can’t fail to put a smile on your face.

The band is made up of four friends — Tyson Ritter (vocals/bass), Nick Wheeler (guitar), Mike Kennerty (guitar) and Chris Gaylor (drums) — who started out life as a band in 2001.

They quickly broke their native America before hitting Europe and the rest of the world to give music lovers everywhere a dose of their unique brand of fun time tunes.

The lads are well known for throwing themselves into gruelling tour schedules and will be giving their Manchester fans a taste of their talent when they hit the Club Academy on Wednesday, January 28.
