Airway Heights, WA (April 3, 2023) – With their catchy tunes and alt-rock, pop-punk sound, The All-American Rejects Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour with New Found Glory, Motion City Soundtrack, and The Get Up Kids hits the BECU Live stage at Northern Quest Resort & Casino on Monday, September 25, 2023.Since forming in 1999, The All-American Rejects have released four albums and numerous hit singles, including “Swing, Swing,” “Dirty Little Secret,” “Move Along,” and “Gives You Hell.” With Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum albums under their belt, the band has always stayed true to their own artistic vision. Since the release of their last studio album in 2012, they’ve recorded a handful of singles and now embark on their Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour.
Often labeled the “godfathers of pop-punk,” New Found Glory continues to inspire modern acts with their ebullient pop melodies and hardcore-tinged breakdowns. With hits like “My Friends Over You” (2002) and “All Downhill From Here” (2004), they became the voice of an underground movement, spurring iconic Gold and Platinum records, countless MTV appearances, an entire sub-genre (easycore), and sold-out tours.
Motion City Soundtrack’s vibe is characterized by upbeat pop-punk melodies, catchy hooks, and quirky lyrics that explore themes of relationships, anxiety, and growing up. They have released six full-length albums, including the critically acclaimed “Commit This to Memory” and “Even If It Kills Me,” which helped solidify their reputation as one of the leading bands in the emo and pop-punk genres. After a hiatus in 2016, the band reunited in 2019 and continues to perform and create new music together.
Bringing an emo-energy to the pop-punk genre is The Get Up Kids. Their early albums, including “Four Minute Mile” and “Something to Write Home About,” helped to define the emo genre and influenced a generation of musicians. The band has released six studio albums to date, and while their sound has evolved over time, they continue to be a beloved and influential band in the alternative music scene.
