NYC siblings AJR make big, bouncy alt-pop anthems that radiate with unabashed glee. Multi-instrumentalist brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met let their youthful exuberance burst through on tracks like the SpongeBob-sampling “I’m Ready” from their 2015 debut, Living Room. By 2017’s The Click, the trio had wooed Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, who appears on the triumphant sing-along “Sober Up”, and made the trumpet a must-have dubstep accessory on “Burn the House Down”. As they’ve gotten more sonically adventurous, they remain as charmingly quirky—just see 2021’s OK ORCHESTRA and high-energy bops like the carnivalesque, quinoa-referencing “Bang!”.
