Aly & AJ

Move
over, Jessica and Ashlee: there’s a new sister act in
town! Except this time around, they come as a package. If you
haven’t already heard Aly & AJ’s infectious
pop single “Rush” on MTV’s Total Request
Live and Official Spins, keep your eyes and ears
open for the duo. They already have featured singles in the
films Herbie Fully Loaded and Ice Princess,
and their debut album, Into The Rush, displays just how talented
these young girls are. “Our music is like rock/pop, real
and from our hearts,” says AJ. “We pour our hearts
out. It’s full of life.”
Not only are they conquering the music business, but they are
also proving themselves as established actresses. Aly has a
co-starring role as Keely Teslow in the Disney Channel series,
Phil Of The Future, and AJ has guest-starred on the hit shows
Six Feet Under and Birds Of Prey. The girls
have also filmed a pilot for a new show, Haversham Hall,
in which they will star together.
Despite occasional arguments about clothes and other typical
sister issues, the two enjoy all the time they spend working
and playing together. “We have a special connection,”
says Aly. “It’s more than a best friend. We have
fun and we’re there to support each other.”
The band: Pop sister act, Aly & AJ.
Right now: Aly & AJ are touring around
the U.S.
Coming up: The girls have just finished recording
their Christmas CD. Keep an eye out for it.
