“That’s what we want to do; we want to spend as much time here [in the United States] as possible,” Andy shared in a recent interview. “Our music really suits the American market, I think. Hearing what’s on radio, it fits nicely among the other things being played.”
He added about how his liver failure diagnosis and recuperation fueled the new album: “The whole thing was an inspiration for me, really changed my whole perspective on life. I had a new lease on life, a chance to write these uplifting songs. They’re about staying positive and in the moment, not letting your head drop or anything. Writing them definitely kept my spirits up.”
“Thank you so much for making us number 11 in the official chart. It’s such a tough time for bands atm but we’re delighted with the result!” Andy wrote on Twitter. “And that’s our 7th top 20 single! I’m f***** proud of that!!!!xxx.”
Ryan added on Instagram, “Thanks so much to all our fans, we love you guys can’t wait to keep moving forward with even newer and even better music!”
