ROockers The All-American Rejects had a taste of Kiwi this week and it inspired them to start work on their next album.

The four-piece were in the country to play their first New Zealand show, hitting the stage in support of Fall Out Boy.

And they were so overwhelmed by the response of the crowd, they not only pledged to return before the end of the year, frontman Tyson Ritter said they were spurred into planning fresh material.

"We actually had our first conversation about new stuff, Tyson brought it up," said lead guitarist Nick Wheeler. "I guess being here made him think about it."

They had only a couple of days in Auckland, and while keen to skydive and visit mud pools, contented themselves with some local booze.

"I'm a big fan of New Zealand wines I like the reds, and it was great to taste a few here where they were made," said Nick.
