Before the spring WILD opener went on Friday, I sat down with the founders and frontmen of the All-American Rejects, singer Tyson Ritter and guitarist Nick Wheeler.

Whether you’re just as excited as I am or still need a bit more convincing, I encourage you to embrace the mid-2000s angst with this WILD pregame playlist.

Student response to Social Programming Board’s announcement that rock band All-American Rejects will headline this year’s spring WILD has been characterized by mixed reactions.

The band, known for hits like “Gives You Hell” and “Dirty Little Secret,” will be the first rock group to headline the concert since 2010, marking a departure from the list of rappers and electronic dance music artists that have been featured in recent years.

I don’t know about anyone else, but my middle school dreams are coming true. When the All-American Rejects first gained popularity in 2003, most of us were still in grade school. By the time they released the album that spawned “Dirty Little Secret,” “Move Along” and “It Ends Tonight,” we were starting to develop our individual music tastes.

I am writing this note in response to the recent announcement that All American Rejects will be the headlining act at this year’s spring WILD concert.

Rock band the All-American Rejects will headline this year’s spring WILD on April 29, Social Programming Board announced this afternoon.

On Sunday, Social Programming Board released its Spring Talent Survey for WILD and the semesterly comedy show. Here are Cadenza’s favorites from the survey.
