Background notes
Archive material and source history
Act As If is a band built around Benjamin Aucoin's songwriting on vocals and guitar, with Ryan Hayes on rhythm guitar and vocals, Ryan Meadows on bass, and John Aucoin on drums. They put out their first album, 'The Weight of Silence,' in 2009. Their 2012 album 'Anchored at Sea' gave them the title track, which became a fan favorite alongside songs like 'It's That Simple' and 'Steady.'
They followed that with 'The Edge of the Ocean' in 2015 and 'Undertow' in 2018. The band's work often leans into personal, introspective territory, which drew some criticism early on for its heavy themes, but they kept at it. Their sound settled into a space where earnest lyrics meet straightforward, melodic arrangements.
