Andy Frasco is known for his hard-partying antics and joyously chaotic live performances, but Change of Pace marks an evolution for the 30-year-old L.A. native as a musician and a songwriter. As Andy Frasco told Live For Live Music ahead of the album’s release,

You know, I always say, “This is the record, man. This is the record.” But you know, I’m surprised myself that I made some of this … I did the work this time and it made me a better musician, and now I bring that to my year of touring, and hopefully people will think that I’m not just a one-trick pony, I can do more than that.

The lyrics were something I really wanted to work on. … Dave Schools taught us how to jam, man. Dave is one of like, my biggest mentors about just, like, “Alright, you’re a party guy, I get it. You wanna stay a party guy? I know a lot of guys who are dead staying party guys. Or you wanna take this shit seriously?” I’m like, “I wanna take it seriously,” and he just kinda fucking slapped me and put some holy water on my face and learned me how to jam on the one and said, “Alright, get out there.” 

These songs just are a little more mature … I’m really proud of it. I’m not just like, writing songs for a groove or a funny line, like “Blame It on the Pussy“, you know? I’m writing songs to write a fucking full meaning … A full story.
