AJR just dropped the music video for their new single, “Woody Allen.” They filmed the video earlier this month at Webster Hall, at the release show for their album, “Living Room.” The video, filmed using a GoPro camera, shows off the energy of AJR’s live show, mixed with clips of the man himself, Woody Allen. Watch the video below!

NYC indie band The Ugly Club are ones to watch! They just released a brand new single called “The Lonely” and we can’t wait to add it to our summer playlist.
The Ugly Club write groovy pop music that’s sure to stick in your head for days. One listen of “The Lonely” and you’ll remember the catchy melody with a light tone on the synths and bass that feels just right. Smooth vocals float in and out of falsetto throughout the chorus of the track while the drum hits are defined but not overbearing on the song as a whole.
“The Lonely” will be available iTunes and Amazon as well as streaming on Spotify next Tuesday, March 24th. For now, listen to the single below!

Indie pop band AJR released their debut album, Living Room, earlier this week, and celebrated with a concert at NYC’s Webster Hall last night. The album has been a long time coming for brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan, who got their start by busking around New York. Those experiences certainly influence their performing style – they’ve mastered the ability to win over a crowd with their energetic playing style.
AJR promised this wouldn’t be a typical show, and they had quite a few surprises in store last night. Using a GoPro camera and a selfie stick, they filmed a music video for the fan favorite, “Woody Allen” during their set. We can’t wait to see how it turned out! They also took crowd interaction to a whole new level when they played their new single “Infinity.” Drums were placed just in front of the stage, and Jack passed out drum sticks to the lucky fans in the front row so they could drum along with him. He later jumped into the crowd after a serious drum-off between the three brothers during “Pitchfork Kids.” They also invited surprise guest Alex Wolff on stage to play guitar for “Big White Bed.”
They played every track off of “Living Room,” and the packed crowd was singing along to every word, even the Overture. It was fun to see the album come to life on stage, and celebrate how far AJR has come. “Living Room” showcases AJR’s wide range and unique sound – from the mellow “Growing Old On Bleecker Street” to “Big Idea,” with it’s layered loops and lightening fast verses. We’re glad that “The Green And The Town” made the album, thanks to the support of their fans, as it’s one of our favorite tracks!
AJR is proof that if you have a Big Idea (pro tools and a mic), you can do anything you like.

While we have to wait a bit longer for the release of AJR’s debut album, “Living Room,” we’ll still be getting some new music this month! The indie pop trio, brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met, announced that they will release the “Infinity EP” on September 23rd. The EP will feature their next single, “Infinity,” as well as fan favorites “Alice By The Hudson” and “3AM.” There’s even a remix of their hit “I’m Ready” by the guys themselves. (Have you entered their remix contest yet?) Check out the tracklisting below. You can pre-order the EP on iTunes or Amazon now!
AJR’s influences include Imagine Dragons, Kanye West, and the Beach Boys. The band manages to sound like each one of them, and yet none of them at all, as they have a sound that’s all their own. The brothers wrote, mixed, produced and recorded the songs on the EP from their living room in NYC. One of our favorite tracks, “Alice By The Hudson,” sounds like a modern day version of “Surfer Girl.” Watch a performance of the song below.
NYC-based indie pop band AJR took to social media to share a letter with their fans announcing that their self-made label, AJR Productions, has entered into a partnership with Warner Brothers Records. The unique arrangement will allow for the band to retain full creative control over their music, photos, videos, merchandise, etc, but ultimately allow for greater distribution. Read the full letter below:
We’re looking forward to see what this year has in store for AJR! Brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met have done an incredible job thus far of gaining support on their own, and this new partnership will definitely take the band to the next level. One of the things we admire about AJR is that their music has only been touched by their hands: from songwriting to producing and recording. We love that they promise to still write and record from their living room, and can’t wait to hear even more of their “folky-electronic-doowop-indie-pop music.”
Their single, “I’m Ready,” has been gaining a lot of radio play nationwide, and the video recently hit 1 Million views on Youtube! Check it out below! (It’s a serious case of life imitating art).
AJR will be playing several radio festivals this summer, joining artists like Austin Mahone, Jason Derulo, Cody Simpson and Karmin. Check out the dates below!
