AJR[lower-alpha 1] is an American indie pop band based in Manhattan, New York City. The trio of vocalists, multi-instrumentalists, and songwriters is composed of three brothers: Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met.[2][3]

Growing up busking, the brothers have been writing songs and touring for each music album since 2005. AJR has written and released five studio albums in total: led by Living Room in 2015, later followed by The Click in 2017, Neotheater in 2019, OK Orchestra in 2021, and the latest album, The Maybe Man, in 2023; various EPs before 2018.[4]

In 2013, AJR released the breakthrough song "I'm Ready", a multi-platinum lead single featuring a repeating SpongeBob sample.[5][6] The group continued to build their audience with the songs "Weak" (2016), "Bang!" (2020), and "World's Smallest Violin" (2021).[7][8]

The group has received one Billboard Music Award and has accumulated RIAA Platinum certifications for seven singles and one album.[9][10]

Career

2005–2012: Street performing and early career

Your early covers were kind of what inspired me to get into making covers on my own ... your "Ho Hey" cover ... that was like one of the covers I saw that made me want to put out covers.

—Mendes

AJR, originally known as TB³[lower-alpha 2], began street performing in Central Park and Washington Square Park on July 9, 2005.[12][13] Prior to releasing original music, they posted covers of popular songs onto YouTube, under the username of AJRbrothers. Their cover of "Ho Hey" by the Lumineers inspired pop singer Shawn Mendes, as Jack revealed on the Zach Sang Show in 2017.[14]

AJR released several limited edition of music projects mainly in CD format before 2013, including Born & Bred, Venture, and an eponymous EP.[15][16][17]

2012–2013: Breakthrough with "I'm Ready"

In November 2012, Ryan tweeted a link to a video of their debut single, "I'm Ready", to about 80 celebrities, including Australian singer Sia.[18][19][20] Sia told her manager about the song, and he contacted Steve Greenberg, former president of Columbia Records and current CEO and founder of S-Curve Records,[21][22] who now acts as their manager.[13] "I'm Ready", which features a sample of SpongeBob SquarePants repeatedly singing his catchphrase "I'm ready" from the eponymous animated series' premiere episode, was commercially released on August 22, 2013.[23][24] The song was placed in regular rotation on Sirius XM Radio's Top 20 on 20 and Hits 1 stations,[22] and they performed the song on Good Day New York and VH1's Big Morning Buzz.[25] The official music video for "I'm Ready" premiered on VEVO on October 15, 2013.[13][26]

AJR released their debut major-label EP, 6foot1, on December 20, 2013.[27] They were named Clear Channel's "Artist on the Rise" for the month of October 2013. By 2014, the band was already named IHeartRadio's Artist of the Month for Top 40 in January,[28] and a Myspace "One to Watch" in February,[29] while "I'm Ready" officially impacted pop radio in April. As of October 2023, the music video for "I'm Ready" has over 40 million views on YouTube. "I'm Ready" hit number one on Next Big Sound's chart in May 2014,[30] and the band later performed the song on Today on July 29, 2014. "I'm Ready" had been certified Platinum in the U.S. and Australia.[31][32]

2014–2015: Living Room

The band's second EP, Infinity, was released on September 23, 2014. It contains 5 tracks, including the lead single "Infinity". A lyric video directed and produced primarily by AJR was released for the single.[33] The EP was released instead of their debut album, Living Room, which was pushed back to a release date of March 3, 2015. The band expressed the delay in their debut album was because they wanted to add some of their newer music to the project.[34] On October 23, 2015, they released the bonus track "Let the Games Begin".[35]

2016–2018: The Click

The brothers released their third EP, titled What Everyone's Thinking, on September 16, 2016, which features the singles "I'm Not Famous" and "Weak". The latter was written by the band within a few hours, without any idea of the future success the single would have.[36] "Weak" has been certified Platinum in the U.S., Canada, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, and Germany, and Gold in Italy, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. It amassed over 200 million streams on Spotify within its first 9 months of release.[37]

The band released its second studio album, The Click, on June 9, 2017, featuring the singles "Weak", "Drama" and "Sober Up", which features frontman Rivers Cuomo from Weezer, who co-wrote the track.[38] The song reached number one on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart in 2018.[39] The album, on the AJR Productions label, was released by BMG in the US, Ultra Records in Canada, Liberator Records in Australia/New Zealand, and Black Butter Records in the rest of the world, as were AJR's next two albums. The band's 2018 tour in support of the album, The Click Tour, featured Hundred Handed, Grizfolk, Ocean Park Standoff, and MAX as openers.[40]

An extended version of The Click was released on September 21, 2018. The Click (Deluxe Edition) included new tracks such as "Role Models", "Normal" and "Burn the House Down", the latter which the band released in March 2018 as a single and reached number two on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.[39] Also included was "Pretender – Acoustic", an acoustic version of "Pretender", which was a collaboration between AJR, EDM artist Steve Aoki and American rapper Lil Yachty.[41]
