If you’re a fan of AJR, you already know that they're an American indie-pop band consisting of brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met. They got their start busking in New York City’s Washington Square Park, and blah blah blah.

You may also know that AJR just dropped an album called “Neotheater," and we took the opportunity to catch up with them to (1) not talk about what it’s like to be in a band of brothers, (2) not talk about busking, and (3) totally talk about the songs that they love and the stories behind them.

Here are The Top 6 Things we learned:

1) Their all-time favorite band is the Beach Boys. Their all-time favorite album is Pet Sounds. They cannot, however, agree on their favorite song.

2) They cite Kendrick Lamar’s "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City" as one of the most important albums in the history of Hip Hop because it’s “bad ass” and makes you feel cooler than you actually are.

3) After collaborating with Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, AJR consider him a friend. “It’s not love,” they say, “but it’s somewhere in between.” They think Rivers is almost a genius, and credit him for proving that nerds can be rock stars as long as they have something unique to say.

4) They are loving the fact that straightforward R&B is making a comeback, and are especially fond of Khalid’s “gorgeous” voice.

5) The classic tune “American Pie” changed their lives, because it made them realize that songs could be about anything and still be catchy as hell.

6) They are good at hosting their own radio station. Check out AJR: I Am The DJ here.
