Jack's Mannequin has certainly had one wild ride. On the day Andrew McMahon finished mastering the final song on the band's debut album, Everything in Transit, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Because Andrew was undergoing chemo, the album was released without much promotion and still managed to debut at #37 on the charts and win over scores of fans with its intimate, honest piano rock. Following a stem cell transplant from his sister, Andrew's leukemia now in remission, Jack's is back with their sophomore effort, The Glass Passenger. Strap yourself in and check our chat with Andrew about the album, his pals in The Academy Is…, Twilight, and much more.
