Tyson Ritter: The Rolling Stone Studio Live at SXSW

Tyson Ritter joins Brian Hiatt at The Rolling Stone Studio live at SXSW to talk about the All-American Rejects long-awaited return with Sandbox, their first album in over a decade. He reflects on the band’s lost years, the grind of state fairs and casinos, and why major-label songwriting started to feel hollow. Ritter also opens up about rediscovering purpose after When We Were Young, the raw energy of their house-party shows, the truth behind an old Taylor Swift rumor, and why this new music feels like the most honest work they’ve ever made.
