The chart-topping trio of brothers—Adam, Jack and Ryan Met—manage to intimately empathize with listeners everywhere. The band constructed an inimitable and immersive world soundtracked by a truly alternative vision for pop. With five billion streams and counting, the group notched a string of seismic smashes, including “Bang!” (three-time platinum) and “Weak” (three-time platinum), “Burn The House Down” (two-time platinum) and “100 Bad Days” (platinum), “Sober Up” (platinum) and “I’m Ready” (platinum). Following their platinum breakout album, “The Click” (2017), the boys consecutively crashed the Top 10 of Billboard 200 with “Neotheater” (2019) and “OK Orchestra” (2021).
Recently, their song “World’s Smallest Violin” had a resurgence online with more than two million video creates on TikTok and more than 10 billion combined views between the official sound, original sounds, and sped-up versions.
Their debut album for Mercury Records/Republic Records, “The Maybe Man,” might just be their most identifiable body of work yet. In true AJR fashion, they came up with a larger-than-life way to explain the existential crisis of growing up and dealing with their father’s passing. The title character is “a big sad superhero who is always questioning who he is.”
