David von Mering and Carter Schultz of Wayland, MA create music that finds its roots in reggae, acoustic pop and indie rock, with smooth guitar riffs and a strong rap component. After releasing their mixtapes "Water On The Moon" and "The Reach" in late-2010 and mid-2011 respectively, the guys proceeded to release their first iTunes EP "What You Need" in October of 2011. "What You Need" would go on to reach the #1 spot on iTunes hip-hop charts, launching Aer onto an East Coast tour alongside Ballyhoo! as well as their first headline tour of the Midwest. David and Carter started working on their debut full-length as soon as they got home (they showered first). They finished just in time for a fun summer in 2012, playing Bamboozle and sharing the stage with Action Bronson, ASAP Rocky, and Iggy Azalea, and hitting the road with "OCD: Moosh & Twist" going to 37 cities, bringing them to their first shows on the West Coast and in the Southwest.

Aer's July 30th, 2012 debut album "The Bright Side" quickly rose to #1 on the iTunes Album Charts and earned a spot in Billboards Hot 100. It was followed by "The Bright Side Tour," which spanned over 48 cities across North America.

Carter and David are 19, and have a lot more music to make.
