Phillyist Interviews... Alan Andrews Jr.

Alan Andrews, the guitarist and lead vocalist for The Photo Atlas, answered a few quick questions for us. We recently used this format and we think you enjoyed its pithy quality (tell us if you didn't). The Photo Atlas will be supporting The Bravery at the Fillmore at the TLA on May 31st. We have a ticket giveaway for the show running this week, announced earlier today, and another short interview with The Bravery is on the way.
