“AJR is finding a sweet spot lately in angsty pop anthems that, magically, become casually upbeat bangers.” – TIME
“[AJR is] very much in a league of their own…” – Paper
AJR is set to perform their current single “Drama” (PRESS HERE to listen) on nationally-syndicated talk show Live with Kelly and Ryan on Monday, July 24th. Check local listings for station and air times.
Watch the performance from Kelly and Ryan here.
The follow up to the band’s platinum hit single “Weak” (PRESS HERE), “Drama” has quickly amassed over 5 million streams since its release in May and is set to impact at Top 40 Radio on August 8th. Punctuated by cleverly colloquial lyrics and an explosive chorus, the track is from the band’s latest studio album The Click. The album has garnered praise from the likes of Billboard, TIME, Paper, PopMatters, Baeble and landed them a national TV appearance on TODAY.
After a completely SOLD-OUT East Coast tour, the band is in the midst of their ‘What Everyone’s Thinking Tour Part II’ with all shows to date sold out! Next week, they will be performing an intimate set at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, which will feature a Q&A with Executive Director, Scott Goldman. Tickets for the show are still available.

The release of The Click generated critical applause from Billboard, Time, Nylon, Paper, Pop Crush, and more and landed the band national TV performances on TODAY and Live With Kelly and Ryan.

The busy year also included very special performances at The Grammy Museum, The Little League World Series, Austin City Limits, and Midtown Music Festival. […]
