What is AJRS Records: Everything About the Record Label
AJR's music is released through S-Curve Records/BMG Rights Management, which serves as their primary record label. The band signed with S-Curve Records in 2013 after initially gaining attention through their independent releases and YouTube covers.
S-Curve Records, founded by Steve Greenberg, is known for developing emerging artists and has been instrumental in AJR's commercial success. The label has supported the release of all of AJR's major albums, including "Living Room" (2015), "The Click" (2017), "Neotheater" (2019), and "OK Orchestra" (2021).
While maintaining their relationship with S-Curve Records, AJR has retained significant creative control over their music production. The band notably produces most of their music independently in their apartment, with brother Jack Met handling the majority of the production duties.
Before signing with S-Curve, AJR operated independently, busking in New York City's Washington Square Park and Central Park while building their following through social media. This DIY approach has remained part of their artistic identity even after joining the label.
Currently, AJR continues to work with S-Curve Records/BMG for their releases, distribution, and promotion, while maintaining their distinctive production style and creative independence. This partnership has helped them achieve multiple platinum records and chart-topping singles while preserving their unique artistic vision.
