AJR with special guest Avery Cochrane

AJR

Re-envisioning what pop can be in the 21st century, AJR unassumingly emerged as a ubiquitous hit-making outlier and one of the biggest indie bands in the world. Since 2012, the multiplatinum indie pop trio – Adam (bass, vocals), Jack (vocals, guitar) and Ryan (ukulele, piano, vocals) – have generated billions of streams and earned one triple-platinum single, one double-platinum single, four platinum singles, and one platinum album. 2019’s “Neotheater” marked their biggest first-week debut, bowing at No. 8 on the Billboard Top 200, No. 1 on the Top Alternative Albums Chart, and No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart. Cemented as part of the modern zeitgeist, Spotify touted “Sober Up” (feat. Rivers Cuomo) among the Best Rock Songs of the 2010s, while Apple Music included “Weak” on its Best Alt Songs of the 2010s. Not to mention, they remain one of the 500 Most-Listened-To Artists on Spotify. On the heels of “Neotheater,” they dropped the 2020 platinum blockbuster “BANG!,” which cracked the Top 10 at three radio formats, peaking at No. 6 on the Top 40 chart, No. 2 on Alternative radio and No. 1 on Adult Pop and marked their first Top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Their latest album, “The Maybe Man” (AJR Productions/Republic Records), was released in 2023.
