(born Allison Amling Weiss, April 13, 1987) is a Los Angeles-based indie pop singer, songwriter and performer. They have released two full-length albums and several EPs. Their third LP was released on October 2, 2015 through SideOneDummy Records. BiographyA.W. began playing music as a teenager in their hometown of Flowery Branch, Georgia.[1] Inspired by the emotional tumult of young relationships, they began writing songs, adopting a DIY ethic that would stay with them throughout their career. A.W. released their first EP, An Eight-Song Tribute to Feeling Bad and Feeling Better, in 2007, while attending the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.[2] They followed it up with a full-length concert album, Live at Sidewalk NYC, a year later. In late 2009, A.W. turned to the newly launched Kickstarter crowd-funding platform to try raising the money for their first studio LP, ...Was Right All Along. Their campaign allowed them to reach their funding goal within the first day and triple it just days later. The Kickstarter success led to some high-exposure press, with The New York Times and Wired magazine essentially labeling them as a sort of poster child for the new era of Internet promotion.[3] A.W. capitalized on the attention with countless tours, interviews, and a panelist slot at the industry's SXSW conference in Austin alongside Kickstarter founder Yancey Strickler.[4] They kept themself busy over the next two years by focusing on their songwriting and touring. In 2011, A.W. recorded their second studio album, Say What You Mean, as well as a companion acoustic record called Sideways Sessions in Brooklyn, New York. Both albums were released on No Sleep Records in 2013. The label released an EP from Weiss titled Remember When the following year. In May 2015, A.W. signed with SideOneDummy Records and announced plans to release a third studio album later that year. New Love was released on October 2, 2015, produced by Forrest Kline of electro-pop band Hellogoodbye and Bradley Hale of indie rock band Now, Now.[5] In 2017, shortly after the release of their single "Runaway," A.W. came out as non-binary, officially changing their name to A.W. and assuming "they/them" pronouns. They discussed the transition on the podcast Queery, hosted by comedian Cameron Esposito, for which A.W. also provides the theme music with their song "Who We Are."[6] Associated actsDuring their time in Brooklyn, New York, A.W. frequently played shows with Jenny Owen Youngs, Bess Rogers, Field Mouse, and more. They have toured with acts such as Candy Hearts, Anthony Raneri, Tim Barry, State Champs, Matt Pryor, and The Front Bottoms. They have supported artists like Laura Jane Grace, The Wonder Years, Chuck Ragan, and Relient K. In 2012, A.W. supported Lou Reed on his European tour, during which they also contributed backing vocals in Reed's band.[7] In 2013, Daytrotter released a vinyl 12" featuring Tegan and Sara on side A and A.W. on side B.[8] In 2015, A.W. contributed backup vocals to The Front Bottoms album Back on Top and The Wonder Years album No Closer to Heaven. Weiss has also contributed backup vocals to songs with Chris Farren, Reggie and the Full Effect, and more. A.W.'s touring band is led by musical director and guitarist Peter Recine[9] and includes Liam McCormack of Yellowbirddd on bass and Eric Downs on drums. DiscographyStudio LPs
