Review: Andrew McMahon – Three Pianos: A Memoir
Andrew McMahon sounds like a man who’s been through some really tough situations. From a childhood filled with several moves to different parts of the country, to his dad’s battle with addiction, and his steadfast love for the music that got him through it all, McMahon crafts a tangled web of stories that he divides up into three book sections based on three pianos that have meant something to him at different points of his life and career. Three Pianos: A Memoir is a fairly quick reading experience, especially for those familiar with McMahon’s musical references in his bands of Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin, and lastly Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness. This only speaks to his ability as an author to convey such rich, vivid memories from an emotional standpoint that led him to be the man that he is today. As McMahon puts it in his memoir, referencing the transition between Jack’s Mannequin and the start of a new adventure in The Wilderness Years, “Starting over at twenty is easy. At thirty it’s a test of your mettle.” Battling through a leukemia diagnosis, to navigating through several starts and stops in his musical journey, McMahon never lets his difficult story seem hopeless. Instead, he provides a beacon of hope for others to keep pressing on when we reach our own breaking point.

Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 took to his Discord today to clear up a few random rumors that had started circling around the ‘ol internet. While speculation around Tom DeLonge’s return to the band happens with just about every single social media post he makes, last week things were kicked into high-gear because he updated his bio to include the band’s name in it, Funko’s celebrating the band’s 30-year anniversary were announced and promoted by him, and Matt Skiba commented that he didn’t know the current status of the band.
Toss in a radio station in Chicago saying an announcement was coming, and, we got some chaos-182 for the band’s anniversary. The updates from Mark can be found below, but the basics are: no extra announcement coming today, no tour dates are currently planned, check the official channels for information about the band, and they will be touring again in the future. As for today’s news: they have some new anniversary merch up, the Funkos are up for pre-sale at various retailers (more, more, and UK more), and my recommendation as someone that’s been covering this band for most of their career: it’s best to just wait until someone you trust spills the beans instead of reading into bio changes or cryptic social media posts.

It feels great to have Anberlin back in the music fold. The band seemed very comfortable walking away from the music scene after the release of their last (and at the time, final) album called Lowborn and an accompanying farewell tour, yet fast forwarding to the band’s reconciliation in 2018, where Anberlin would perform several concerts and then in May of 2020, the band announced they would be working on some new music once again. Add in a few livestream concerts during the pandemic, and Anberlin regained their band chemistry and appear to be re-invigorated in the path that lies before them. This passion was felt first-hand in lead vocalist Stephen Christian when I interviewed him about Silverline. Hearing Christian’s take on how these songs came together with producers Tim McTague (Underoath), Chad Carouthers, and JJ Revell only brings further context to the rich tunes that came together on this EP.

Every now and then you come across a band or a song that makes you feel fortunate to be a music writer. This feeling come in strongly with Between The Echoes and their new single entitled “Phantom Limb.” The track even features some guest vocals from Anberlin’s Stephen Christian towards the end of the song to add to the layers of complexity and conflict within the song’s lyrics. The band is comprised of Chad William, Katie Jean, Marvin Albert, and their unique band chemistry pays off majorly with a crisp pop-punk delivery. With a sound that drifts somewhere between the darkest parts of Finch, paired with the pop sensibilities of Broadside, Between The Echoes are well on their way to making the best use of their moment.
