For nearly two decades, American Aquarium has pushed toward that rare form of rock-and-roll that?s revelatory in every sense. ?For us the sweet spot is when you?ve got a rock band that makes you scream along to every word, and it?s not until you?re coming down at 3 a.m. that you realize those words are saying something real about your life," says frontman BJ Barham. ?That?s what made us fall in love with music in the first place, and that?s the goal in everything we do.? On their new album The Fear of Standing Still, the North Carolina band embodies that dynamic, balancing their gritty breed of country-rock with Barham?s bravest and most incisive songwriting to date. ?In our live show the band?s like a freight train that never lets up, and for this record I really wanted to showcase how big and anthemic we can be,? notes Barham, whose bandmates include guitarist Shane Boeker, pedal-steel guitarist Neil Jones, keyboardist Rhett Huffman, drummer Ryan Van Fleet, and bassist Alden Hedges.
