In 2001, with producer Tim O’Heir, the band recorded their self-titled debut studio album, The All-American Rejects . The album and its first single, ” Swing, Swing “, were released towards the end of 2002. The group began looking for additional members for a live act. Edmond, Oklahoma resident Mike Kennerty joined on as rhythm guitarist soon before the album was released. Soon after, the band was having problems with drummer Tim Campbell. Campbell was later replaced by drummer Chris Gaylor, who knew and played in another band with Kennerty.
