AJJ is a prolific folk-punk band from Phoenix, Arizona, whose wild sound incorporates eclectic instrumentation (horns, theremin, mandolin, singing saw) and explores myriad subjects, from the topical and political to the absurd. After debuting in 2005 under the name Andrew Jackson Jihad, they recorded at a furious pace, issuing numerous D.I.Y. singles, split 7" releases, EPs, and demos in between studio albums like 2009's highly regarded Can't Maintain and 2011's Knife Man. The group moved away from their acoustic originals on 2014's Christmas Island, then shortened their name to the abbreviated AJJ on subsequent releases like 2020's Good Luck Everybody and 2023's Disposable Everything, all the while offering witty, intense commentary on themselves and society at large through their copious auxiliary releases.
