AJR

AJR is an American indie pop trio composed of multi-instrumentalist brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met, whose initials give the group its name. The band formed in 2005 in New York City and they first garnered attention with the release of their single "I'm Ready" in 2013. Known for their DIY approach to music, AJR writes, produces, and mixes their material in the living room of their apartment. Their music style has been described as eclectic, combining elements of pop, doo-wop, electronic, and dubstep.

The band's popularity surged with the release of their 2017 album "The Click," which featured hits like "Weak" and later, the multi-platinum single "Bang!" from their 2021 album "OK ORCHESTRA." Notably, AJR is praised for their engaging live performances and the clever integration of electronic elements with traditional instrumentation. Throughout their career, they have maintained a distinctive sound characterized by catchy hooks, complex harmonies, and thought-provoking lyrics that often address themes of anxiety, growing up, and the human condition. With a unique blend of irreverence and earnestness, AJR continues to resonate with a growing fan base, pushing the boundaries of pop music with innovation and a playful yet introspective lyrical style.
