1) AM is an artist from the UK, who is a part of the drill collective 410, and one half of the duo within the collective, Skengdo X AM. Born in South London, AM is widely regarded as one of the genre's most skilled rappers, and was highly influential in advancing the genre in terms of lyricism.
2) AM is an indie rock band formed in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silverlake, California . New Album Future Sons & Daughters was produced by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields).

About AM:
The lead singer and founder is "AM" whose moniker is derived from his initials. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana he brings twanging Americana, twinkling folk-rock-pop, caressing Philly soul, and funky R&B whatchacallit to the band's sound. He has drawn influences from various artists including the Beatles, Badfinger, Curtis Mayfield and Jorge Ben, and demonstrates over and again the simple fact of songwriting life: that imagination and taste is what it's all about. AM was handpicked by French duo Air to open their U.S., Canadian, and French tour and also toured with Charlotte Gainsbourg in North America in 2010. They have been compared to Wilco, Beck, and Last Shadow Puppets,
“…AM writes literate, emotionally balanced tunes that are infectious without being moronic, hip without being oh so, and pop infected without losing their edge… he is a songwriter ready to be discovered by a wider audience, an audience interested in smart and sincere songs that speak to the vastness of the human spirit.”
Future Sons & Daughters
4**** Q Magazine UK
5**** Sunday Express UK
The new album Future Sons & Daughters is a heady brew of twinkling Anglified folk-rock-pop with arguably, some of the best bridges and choruses in the bizness, that showcases AM's acute finessing ear for the ancient art of real, true songcraft. The album was produced by Charles Newman (responsible for the sounds of The Magnetic Field and who simultaneously produced AM's record and The Magnetic Field's new album) and was recorded in both Elliot Smith's old house and Wilder Studios.
The latest music video is for the single "Grand Opinion" and was directed by Blake West and shot at the beaches of Zuma and Malibu, California.

Troubled Times
AM's debut album "Troubled Times" had every song placed in a movie or television show which hasn't been done since Moby, and received a slew of other accolades including iTunes "Best Indie Album Of The Year."
Side By Side - Duets Vol. 1
This album features original tracks and two cover tunes performed with friends Meiko, Susie Suh, Julianna Raye, Buddy, Tina Dico and Rick Garcia. (5 Bonus tracks available at iTunes) In earlier reviews, AM's music has been called "mellow gold" and "Side By Side" reinforces that. The EP is worth owning if only on the strength of two of the performances - the original "A Part Of Something Missing" performed with Rick Garcia and the incredibly haunting and beautiful cover of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." "I'll Be Your Mirror" is a Bossa Nova gem performed with Rufus Wainwright's Julianna Raye. Gus Black (a singer/songwriter in his own right) directs AM's music video "Hear Me Sing" featuring Buddy.
Holiday Happiness & Cheer EP
AM delivers holiday music for the first time with his new EP “Holiday Happiness & Cheer”. Included is a beautifully haunting rendition of Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmas Time Is Here” (from the classic animated television Peanuts Special “A Charlie Brown Christmas”) complete with moody bossa influenced guitar, creepy synth work and McCartney style bass lines. Also included is an original song “I’m Home For The Holidays” – a spacious orchestral folk song that focuses on the somber elements of holiday time.
3) Sludge/doom metal from Finland, consisting of Mikko Aspa (Grunt, Clandestine Blaze...) and Jukka Mattila (Stumm, Throat).
4) aM (ae’m)[アム(amu)] is a 2 person unit which creates Electro beats. Their music is influenced by many styles such as Techno, House, Funk, Rock, and Electro.
Formed in Tokyo, Japan in 2001. The group consists of Hiroaki Kanai and Kōdai Tazawa.

New Road
AM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back through what I have known
Seams sewn but they still show
Now we're slowly finding our way
And this
New road that we've made
Let it help us to mean what we say
Stand by you I will
Let the old house burn
To stem and stern
We love
Sometimes we learn
But we're just living now
Yeah we're just living now
I know
We all must move from our side
You're all that I wanted to find
Stand by you I will
Stand by you I will
Let the old house burn
To stem and stern
We love
Sometimes we learn
But we're just living now
Yeah we're just living now
The first verse of "New Road" by AM's is a reflective one. The singer walks back through what he has known, probably referring to his past experiences or his old lifestyle. Though it may seem like he has moved on, he still sees the seams sewn, implying that the remnants of his old life still linger around him. It's like he is looking back over his shoulder and reflecting on how far he has come. However, while he reflects, he also recognizes that he and whoever he is with are slowly finding their way. They are building a new path, creating a new route for themselves, paving a new road to walk on.
The chorus of the song is somewhat catchy and remarkable, repeating the line "Stand by you I will" several times, including a bridge section where this line is repeated. The chorus is a pledge of loyalty, which appears to be directed at a particular person in the singer's life. This person is someone they want to hold on to, someone they want to keep close, someone they have promised to stand by through thick and thin.
The second verse of "New Road" addresses the future. The singer acknowledges that they all must move from their side, as in they must let go of their past and embrace the future. The person he is talking to seems to be the one he has been searching for, someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Ultimately, the song is about moving on from the past, building a new path for your future and promising to stand by someone that means a lot to you.
