Aly Michalka of Aly & AJ spoke with BOPtv at the ‘Bandslam’ event ‘Reel Thinking’, where the singer talked about why she loves music so much and how she and AJ come up with ideas for their songs. “When you’re writing with someone who’s amazing, or if I’m just writing with AJ or by myself, there’s a certain vibe that’s in the room that carries the song. That in a way I guess gets you to the end product. I feel like I can only give so much credit to myself, because it’s really in the air. The song is in the atmosphere and you just have to grab it and take it and make it your own.” Watch via YouTube below.

Alyson and Amanda Michalka of Aly & AJ checked in with fans on their YouTube channel while at the LA Pet Clinic, where the pop rock duo went to adopt a puppy after finishing up their new album.

“We wanted to adopt a little baby at the end of our record, because we’re just finished,” Aly said. “We’re literally like wrapping it up right now, so we’re like, ‘Okay, we need to treat ourselves.’ We decided that we’re gonna rescue a little dog, but it happened by accident. It didn’t even happen on purpose.”

“This is kind of our end of the record present,” AJ said. “A little reward. She’s gonna listen to all the demos, all the mixes. She’s gonna approve everything. She’s gonna pick the first single.”
