    Jack Antonoff is wildly talented and I'm very glad to see him here. Go listen to his bands Bleachers and Fun, if you haven't. I think between them he plays every instrument and role possible.

    It’s crazy to think that 12 years ago I sat in this dude’s tour “bus” and played him my band’s ep and he sat and critiqued it for 30 minutes. Then an hour later my band opened for his band. A night that will always be up there for me. Jack and the rest of Steel Train are nice dudes. Crazy to see how big he’s gotten on the production side of things.

He also seems sweet, doesn’t seem pretentious, no frills, and he looks like a guy you can have a convo with, and just be yourself. Besides, I really like someone who can laugh at their own jokes/thoughts like they’re going crazy, because me too.
