After The Session

In 2015 Ken's band Failure released their first album in 19 years, and Paramore's hit "Ain't It Fun" (mixed by Ken) won a Grammy for "Best Rock Song".  Ken's work on both sides of the glass has been varied and successful, and we were happy to sit down with him backstage in San Diego to discuss the making of his new record, a secret mix project he's really excited about, his favorite gear, plugins, and some of the stuff he uses in the Failure live show. 

Artists Ken Andrews has worked with include: Paramore, Pete Yorn, Beck, Tenacious D, Blink-182, M83, A Perfect Circle, Chris Cornell, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Jimmy Eat World, Nine Inch Nails, and Failure.
