"I was at the Grammies sitting behind Chuck D and across from Elvis Costello when I began writing Infinity on High. As I sat there in my Sunday best (I splurged on an Italian maroon ascot) watching Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys duet a capella, I decided in a room full of innovators that on our two previous albums, I had contributed nothing to pop music.

My saying so is in no way meant as a slight to our indie debut Take This To Your Grave, a strong if derivative pop-punk album from a young band yet uninterested in finding itself. I have slightly less positive things to say of its successor, the exponentially more successful but creatively inconsistent From Under the Cork Tree, for which we were nominated that night.

It dawned on me that, were we to win, we wouldn’t have deserved it. We rightfully lost. I rode back to my hotel, ripped the ascot out of my collar, walked across the street, ate dinner alone, and wondered to myself what would have to change in order for me to feel more comfortable with accolades.

Fear. I was afraid of being who I was musically. Pete was always honest and brave lyrically. Joe and Andy were in their playing as well. But I was timid and hid behind convention as well as re-imaginings of other people’s innovations.

I went back to my hotel and began simply writing without fear of how our audience or critics would react. When we ultimately recorded, I sang how I did at home for myself, not in the way I had learned to sing “punk rock.”

While I won’t say Infinity on High was our best Album, I will say it was a watershed for me creatively. Zero Grammy nominations though."

I know people hate comparisons with yr and hs, but one thing I really appreciate about yr and what I think sets it apart from most other shows (including hs), is that none of the characters feel overly groomed or stylized. Except maybe August but that fits with his personality. All tv shows have a makeup , hair, and costume crew. A lot of thought of course goes into that. But something that is SO common in tv now are characters looking very “polished”. Even in hs, other than Darcy, it is common to see this. Hair and makeup done perfectly, outfits that are never worn more than once, etc. Young Royals isn’t like that. Outfits repeat. Hair looks natural and not overdone. The characters look like people you could see in your daily life. Like REAL people. The irony is that most of the characters in yr are rich as hell. You could actually excuse them walking around looking perfect. But you don’t see it. It’s very much a skamverse vibe. I wish more shows did this.
