AJR will join a Mercury Records roster that includes artists Post Malone, James Bay, Lord Huron, Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler, and Noah Kahan among others. AJR Productions, the bands own label, will work with Mercury across all future releases.
AJR have consistently advanced pop music forward with a combination of impeccable songcraft, cinematic production, and an immersive live show to rival even the biggest of big screen spectacles. Along the way, they’ve architected a catalog of smashed highlighted by triple-platinum anthems “Bang!” and “Weak” as well as the double-platinum “Burn The House Down” and platinum singles “100 Bad Days,” “Sober Up,” and “I’m Ready”. Their 2017 album The Click is certified platinum, while 2019’s Neotheater marked the band’s first Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200 in 2021 along with their latest, OK Orchestra, which is also certified gold. They’ve sold out venues coast-to-coast and performed on late-night television multiple times. Now, they’re gearing up for their biggest, boldest, and brightest chapter yet.
