Animal Liberation Orchestra (ALO) is a dynamic California rock band that has made significant strides in the music industry since its formation in 1989. Initially starting as a junior high school band, ALO evolved through various iterations, ultimately solidifying its current lineup in 2002. The band’s commitment to live performances and their unique sound quickly garnered a substantial following, particularly in the western United States, where they became known for their energetic shows and engaging musical style.

In 2006, ALO signed with Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records, marking a pivotal moment in their career. The re-release of their album “Fly Between Falls” showcased their ability to blend experimental sounds with mainstream appeal, leading to increased visibility and opportunities. Their collaboration with Johnson not only expanded their audience but also allowed them to perform at prestigious venues and festivals, further establishing their reputation in the music scene.

The release of their first album under Brushfire, “Roses & Clover,” in 2007, demonstrated ALO’s evolution towards a more radio-friendly sound while maintaining their artistic integrity. The album was well-received, and the band continued to tour extensively, participating in major festivals and supporting renowned artists, which solidified their status as a prominent act in the jam band genre.

With subsequent albums like “Man Of The World” and their ongoing commitment to live performances, ALO has consistently pushed creative boundaries. Their dedication to music and collaboration with other artists has not only enriched their sound but also contributed to the vibrant music community, making ALO a beloved and influential band in contemporary rock.
