The Allison Hagendorf Show

Show Notes

Allison sits down with The All-American Rejects who first made their mark as a cornerstone band of the 2000s transcending scenes and creating songs that became a part of pop culture that have withstood the test of time. They have sold over 10 million albums and are back with new music in this new era of the band. They talk all about their first studio track in years, a cover of Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta”, why now was the right time, stories from the past, and where they are heading next.
