"With their colliding musical stylings, and experimental vocals, Akissforjersey doesn't seek to stand out of the crowd; they tower above it. In the same vain as such progressive artists as The Mars Volta, Akissforjersey pulls two completely different aspects of music together to make one complete genre of its own. The band's music lulls the listener into a carefree utopia one moment only to pull them to the ground with the brutal screams perfectly injected into their melodious songs."
The band announced they had signed to In Vogue records in 2013. They premiered a new song titled "War" off of their then upcoming album "New Bodies" in November 2013. The new album released January 21st, 2014.
In 2023 the band did their single Find Yourself.
