More About

It's an idea made more amazing by the number of people who have told Andrew -- and continue to tell him -- that he's working a dead branch of the rock-'n'-roll tree. "It's so out of my control, I don't think about it that much," Andrew says of the negative reactions that his music has generated. "But that's not their fault; it's mine. I'm going to work that much harder to get them the next time. What we're doing is so clear: We're celebrating the miracle of human beings. It's a miracle to be alive, and this music makes me feel excited in the pit of my stomach on a chemical level. It's so direct and so to the point, it just wants to satisfy people. It's openness, it's inclusive, it's not exclusive or special and just for two people or 200 people. It's for every human being on the face of the earth. It's the only way I can continue, to try to make the most exciting songs ever made. And we're just getting started."
