Chart Attack recently talked with the guys from Something Corporate and asked Andrew McMahon about his high school bully inspired song ‘If You C Jordan’, and whether they were worried Jordan might sue the group. The songwriting frontman replied, “They say that the biggest defense to a defamation suit is truth and the story is true. It all came down to that the whole story is real. People take it a lot more vengefully than it was supposed to be. I wrote it and I was pissed of to the extent that we actually played it because we wanted an energetic song in the set. It was never intended to be a slam on the kid as much as it seems like it is, we were just fu**ing around.” Chartattack.com has since removed the article.

Andrew McMahon, pianist and singer for the Orange County based Something Corporate tells Chart Attack why they chose their name and what effect it has had since being signed by MCA Records. “We played as a band under the name for three years before there was any sort of corporate ties,” he said. “Some people thought it would be a good idea to change our name. That almost seemed like the most corporate thing we could do was to change our name because we were now part of a [major label], because we didn’t want to seem corporate.” Chartattack.com has since removed the article.

Paul Rogers of Las Vegas Weekly chatted with Something Corporate’s piano-playing singer/songwriter Andrew McMahon on whether his being a piano player hurts his ability to lead the group. “When we first started playing as a band it was a scary thought,” he said. “But our music kind of helps things along, ’cause not every song has piano all over it. Billy Joel did it so well–he just treated the piano like any other instrument, and that’s how we approach it–as a utility instrument to be used as needed, like a guitar or anything else.” Lasvegasweekly.com has since removed the article.
