The All-American Rejects have released a new single called “King Kong,” which can be streamed below. The track appears on their forthcoming album, Sandbox, out May 15. On the new single, frontman Tyson Ritter has shared:
“‘King Kong’ is about leaving Los Angeles… 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.”
