American Aquarium w/ Justin Bloss

About This Event

For nearly twodecades, American Aquarium have pushed toward that rare form of rock-and-roll that’srevelatory in every sense. “For us the sweet spot is when you’ve got a rockband that makes you scream along to every word, and it’s not until you’recoming down at three a.m. that you realize those words are saying somethingreal about your life,” says frontman BJ Barham. “That’s what made us fall in love with music in thefirst place, and that’s the goal in everything we do.” On their new album TheFear of Standing Still,the North Carolina-bred band embody that dynamic with more intensity than everbefore, endlessly matching their gritty breed of country-rock with Barham’s bravest and most incisivesongwriting to date. As he reflects on matters both personal and sociocultural—e.g.,the complexity of Southern identity, the intersection of generational traumaand the dismantling of reproductive rights—American Aquarium instill every moment of The Fear of Standing Still with equal parts unbridled spiritand illuminating empathy.
