Mainstream Radio in 2001 was a weird time to listen in. There was loud abrasive anger: Linkin Park, Staind and Eminem. Hyperactive teenaged immaturity: blink-182, Sum 41 and American Hi-Fi. Plus Max Martin-produced pop bubblegum: Britney Spears and N*Sync. And Andrew WK contained shades of all of the above.

Heavier than almost anything else in the mainstream, but sugary sweet like the purest pop, his debut single was a Vodka Redbull smashed into your ear canal, an punishingly uplifting tune released in the aftermath of the worst tragedy to befall the US in living memory. This is the story of “Party Hard” and How Andrew WK is not who you think he is.
