Trivia / AJR

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Two of their earlier albums, Born and Bred and Venture, are not available to be officially purchased or downloaded, so the only way for fans to listen to them is by unofficial uploads online (assuming that said uploads even exist).
• Teasing Creator: As "Don't Throw Out My Legos" reveals, there's been a demand for shirts with the band name on it around the time Neotheater rolled out. AJR obliged... by having merch in the form of shirts with "The Band Name" printed on it.
• What Could Have Been:
  • In February of 2020, the group announced the Everything Everywhere Tour, which would have featured Quinn XCII & Hobo Johnson and was set to happen during the summer of 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. hard, causing the tour to be canceled just three months later.
  • The song "Adventure is Out There" was initially going to be called "Socks", due to it being about... well, take a guess.
  • The song "Let The Games Begin" was initially planned as part of The Click, but was released as a standalone single instead. Interestingly, their Instagram post announcing the release of The Click uses a clip of "Overture" that samples "Let the Games Begin", suggesting that the song was cut late in the album's production.
  • OK Orchestra was originally planned to be called "Mad Orchestra" with the songs being more akin to "Bang!" in tone, dark and evil as Jack described it. As the album developed and the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, the album's tone of the songs became more melancholy and hopeful overall, so the name was changed to fit.
  • The Maybe Man was supposed to feature 13 songs initially, but the brothers found the 13th song was far too happy sounding compared to the rest of the album and they weren't in the right headspace to write such a song at the time. They do still plan to release the song some time down the line, however.
