in my opinion, the best songs for me are: on the ride, sticks and stones and rush. out of the blue. In fact, I love all their songs but if i had to choose I would choce these.
When will they sell their new CD? I prefer aly & aj to78violet but if they sing the same kind of music, it doesn’t matter.

Rob V I agree with you. I think Insomniatic is one of the best pop albums I’ve ever heard.

I LOVE IT!!! I know that Aly and AJ will always be theirselves ’cause they are amazing and their music will always be fantastic… I think that they wanted to get off completely of their Disney carrer. But I don’t mind. 78 Violet you rock!!!

Wow. I’ve known them as Aly & AJ since like forever! the name change came as a shock. really. I mean.. 78violet?! that sounds more like some cheesy web username!

argh. don’t get me wrong. I still love Aly & AJ and no matter what their names are, they’re still my favourite duo.

Don’t get me wrong! I love their music, and I thought Insomniatic was the most under-rated album of 2007. It had at least four other songs that would have made good singles. The ones I liked best were Flattery, Silence, I’m Here, and Division. Bullseye , Closure, and Blush were all very good as well.

I think it’s a terrible name. Where’s the hook? What does this name have going for it that someone who may not have heard of them (and there are a lot of people like that; I have met them when I play Aly and AJ’s music at a Fatburger on Ventura Boulevard.) would want to check them out?? I don’t see anything like that in this new name.

Aly says about namechange:
“One thing I’m excited my sister and I took a risk on was changing our band name from “Aly & AJ” to “78violet.” [Note: They announced the name on Twitter. Follow Aly & AJ!] That was HUGE for AJ and I! We were scared at first that people might think we were trying to “ditch” Aly & AJ, which we’re so not! We’re still those people, but at the same time, our music has grown. When you listen to our new music, it really does sound like “78violet” – it’s an extension of Aly & AJ and our natural progression towards always wanting to have a band name. We never were able to think of something cool when we were younger. Also, I’m afraid of heights, so skydiving would be a different type of risk I might be willing to take in the future!”

I think that 78violet is a cool name and I like it a lot… I gives the girls a new vibe and I can’t wait for the album…. It will be sweet and No one should dis the name… It is the girls decision and I think it rox

Leanne – yup, I remember that from their tweets. How awesome was that to have them reply to you?!

Keely – That’s a good point. I’m just so used to “Aly & AJ” but 78violet is cool…as long as it doesn’t hurt what they’ve already established.

Thanks for the comments!

I’m a fan of the girls. Perhaps it’s the Heart influence of Ann and Nancy and wanting to be recognized as a band, not just a duo.
