I was born before social media and entertainment platforms .yet wasn’t even born yet

[@MiracleMadkins]

I love that aly has been letting her natural hair color show and the soft waves are beautiful on her. They are both wonderful, I can’t wait for the album!

[@emilyjackson2682]

People need to be more in the fucking loop with these lovely iconic ladies

[@steven_ryan]

I have loved Aly & AJ since the beginning. I played “No One” more times than I’d care to admit, and growing up in the closet, that song really meant a lot to me. Flash forward to a few years ago, I rediscovered their music and saw them live, where they discussed the Trevor Project on stage, and that really touched me. I am so impressed with how their music has evolved and will forever be a fan! These girls are the real deal.

[@disneygirl4life675]

Wow I haven’t heard their names in years. Last time I saw them they were on Disney I’m glad they’re still together

[@brucemunro7499]

Just as useless now.

[@pabletecornio]

Omg check her new music, is 🔥!

[@fannygarcia4104]

Been following them all this time :)

[@tylerkochman1007]

They took ten years without releasing new music (minus one single under the name 78 Violet) before returning. They focused on their acting careers (starring in TV shows and some movies) in those ten years. Since then, they released EPs with killer indie pop.

[@primarywave]

They're still making (great) music!

[@arielle4923]

I will admit I found them only because I loved Catra in spop and then heard AJs version of warriors and here I am loving their music now lmao

[@sonyariley2710]

I legit started listening to them and watching spop at the same time and then was like, “w-w-wait...aj is catra?!?!” And needless to say my life is now complete.

[@salem1353]

i was aware of aly and aj but i wasn’t sure if it was the same aj who voiced catra for a while. then i watched the season five trailer and i was like wait, then i searched it up and found out that she was the singer of potential breakup song and i freaked out.

[@cyraleine]

damn, me too

[@joycewible8816]

Aly & Aj are absolutely ICONIC. They are such an amazing duo and a beautiful example of sisters supporting each other. I absolutely cannot wait for the new album! I've been singing Pretty Places for days 💜

[@nativewizard]

been a fan since phil of the future, always thought they deserved huge careers, always thought raviv ullman deserved a bigger career as well

[@Chrissspii]

They are still so beautiful!!! I miss seeing Aly in movies 😩

[@athasyanaila1615]

[@konway17]

Facts!!

[@tylerkochman1007]

So excited for the album

[@yummyki]

Ahhh! You guys are so great 😭 Thank you for continuing to make meaningful music. 🥺💛

[@dylans.1741]

I've been a fan of AJ since 2013, when she was on Steven Universe. Both of these ladies are such awesome LGBTQ+ allies. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

[@donnieharding8370]

I appreciate you two sharing this information and reminiscing in the past made me smile from ear to ear - I found you from Phil of the future like you mentioned, then when you came out with the "No One" song, I played that over and over, cried many times, I wrote a paper on how the song related to some teenage emotions specifically the line "Turn the lights out and erase it all" Helped me though tough times. when insomniatic came out I was just so happy to have new content from you! Now, in my adult life I came across hothouse and remember how thrilled I was again that you were still making music. Now you have even more music that just connects - Love you guys!

[@hannahj8099]

I always forget about Aly&AJ together! Like Aly is Peyton and AJ is Lainey 😂💙

[@thejoyism8]

Omgggg Phil of the Future is so underrated

[@SaharaColeman]

Loved these two growing up especially watching Phil Of The Future. My favorite song from them was “Like Whoa”!

[@brucemunro7499]

Yeah that song really aged well. Sounds like you got really good taste in music.

[@saithirunagari3550]

I loved that song, I think it was for the 2008 film minutemen

[@liviamedeiros8583]

But the 3rd album never happened and then sound they planned on making never happened either - we need justice!!

[@liquidstone14]

they did end up recording a full album under the new moniker '78Violet', it leaked in full a few years ago and it's on youtube. it's pretty good!

[@DoniJames]

@@liquidstone14 Oh yes I remember. I don't remember much about that album. Must not had loved it. Except for Bullet, I'm absolutely adore that track ❤

[@Golden90960]

Gay icons???? What have I missed 👀

[@brucemunro7499]

Shitty corporate propaganda...that’s what you missed. Absolutely nothing!!!

[@ClueFinderDirtDigger]

Lol ignore ole Brucey there. Aly & AJ are very outspoken allies of the LGBTQ+ community, and some of their songs have been hailed as gay anthems in recent years. ❤️ 🏳️‍🌈

[@Ray03595]

@@ClueFinderDirtDigger by who? their PR team put together these questions. They're not nearly that relevant.

[@adeposie]

AJ played a character in an extremely gay show so I think that may have contributed too!!

[@akcheartsjb]

@DJ DaveRave aka Dave Gordon So why is this comment just one run-one sentence? lol The lack of punctuation (commas, periods) makes this really hard to follow. Sorry :/

I mean ..its tik tok mostly a bunch of tweens so maybe they just resonate with it I'm 28 but personally outgrown that song I used to love it but idk I just dont like it that much anymore but I still love Rush and no one
