| | Bio | | | Aly & AJ In the two years since their initial debut album, Aly & AJ have grown...and so has their music. Insomniatic?s central theme is relationships, both the ups and the downs, and it lyrically demonstrates female self-empowerment and vulnerability as only Aly & AJ can. Insomniatic begins with Aly & AJ?s first single ?Potential Breakup Song? which adds a distinct rhythmic element to their signature rock/pop sound. In ?Bullseye? the girls voices are both slinky and sneering as they wrap around near thrashing guitar jams reminiscent of The Runaways. In ?Division? Aly?s crystalline and angelic voice segues into AJ?s booming bluesy voice seamlessly. ?Like Whoa? starts with soft cooing and transitions into a high energy danceable chorus. The album offers a softer side of the sisters as well, in songs like ?Silence? and ?I?m Here? to which Aly & AJ added piano and strings. Aly said of Insomniatic, ?This record is more experimental for us. It still has flavors from our first record, but we definitely worked on different sounds and production on this album.? Added AJ, ?We?re looking forward to touring right after the album comes out. We?ve added a lot of different elements to the show with all the new songs, and can?t wait to play live again.?
