Aly & AJ, composed of sisters Alyson and Amanda Joy Michalka, are a dynamic pop duo hailing from Torrance, California. The pair launched into the music scene with their debut album "Into the Rush" in 2005, and quickly gained attention with their catchy hooks and relatable lyrics, largely appealing to the teen demographic at the time. Known initially for their hit singles "Rush" and "Chemicals React," they carved out a space for themselves within the Disney Channel ecosystem, with Aly starring in the series "Phil of the Future" and both sisters contributing to various soundtracks on the network.

Over the years, Aly & AJ have matured both personally and artistically, managing to evolve their sound while maintaining a loyal fan base. After a hiatus and a brief stint under the band name 78violet, the sisters returned to their roots as Aly & AJ. Their comeback was marked by a deliberate shift toward a more sophisticated synth-pop and indie vibe, as heard in their 2017 EP "Ten Years." In 2021, they released "a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun," their first full-length album in over a decade, to critical acclaim. Aly & AJ continue to enchant audiences with their latest works such as "With Love From" and "After Hours," showcasing their artistic growth and unwavering dedication to their craft. With a mix of new songs and re-imagined versions of their earlier hits, like "Chemicals React (A&A Version)" and "Like Whoa (A&A Version)," they bridge past and present, further establishing themselves as resilient and adaptable artists in the ever-changing music industry.
