The All-American Rejects recently released a new single, "King Kong," from their upcoming album, Sandbox, via Slick Shoes.
"'King Kong' is about leaving Los Angeles," frontman Tyson Ritter shared. "I'm from a small town in Oklahoma, and I moved back home. When I got to L.A., I fell into an interesting crowd. It was the quintessential, 'I'm in L.A. in my twenties and early thirties', life. It's a town where everyone is chasing the same industry. There's no real life about it for me that I experienced until I left. Nick brought out the quality in the song. It was a very natural combination of our efforts."
"You'll always be around to let me…DOWN," goes the chorus of the track. "You want to play like Godzilla? You'd better bite down hard!"
The band previously released the title track, "Easy Come, Easy Go" and "Get This," from Sandbox, which is due out on May 15th.
