"As a fan, I think that And I Will is a great introduction to Abandon Theory (band and concept) for new audiences. It's a great energetic melody, and unforgettable crowd experience during a live performance, and for audiophiles, put on your headphones and just TRY to deconstruct this song. It's interwoven with a lot of different styles and influences that no one else would put together in a million years, and yet it's so easily, eagerly digestible to the ears. We all know there is a thin line between genius and insanity, and yet through his music, Jesse Burns seems to ask "What Line?" On the surface, this is a very fun song to rock out to. But the more carefully you listen to it, the more mind-boggling it gets. It's not the typical composition structure of modern pop music. Then again, that's whey they're called Abandon Theory.” - Chanzilla
Live show: Acoustic Rock/Folk/Reggae. Called "Hobo-Ska" by some, it's hard to label Abandon Theory
This album was recorded live at the Drive-In, Sacramento, California. The band performed until the sunset and the movies began. This is a great representation of what the band really sounds like. Although 4 albums have already been recorded, this

The lead singer, Jesse Burns, was originally going to Sacramento State University’s School of Music, but after an argument with his teacher over what defines “music”, Jesse revolted by creating Abandon Theory. After meeting three other like-minded musicians they sat down to record an album. “No Such Thing” was not only one of the title tracks, but was also an appropriate name for the album because as soon as it was completed, the electric guitarist ran off to Japan.
After the first album was released, the band went on a national tour resulting in a ton of new material. The band at this point was a three-piece with bassist John Bellizia and drummer Randy Aldred. After completing the national tour, the guys went back into the studio to record “As Perfection”.

Eventually deciding on a 5 piece band, Abandon Theory went into the studio to record a third album. Delivering more variety than the first two CDs combined; this recording features me on vocals & rhythm guitar, Rudy Paiva on drums, Jim Holden on bass, Eric Sutton on the electric, and John Bellizia returned from Texas to add banjo & percussion.
Acoustic arrangement with mostly a guitar and one or two back up instruments...
The entire 12 song album was recorded over a two year period with Jesse Burns playing acoustic guitar/vocals and John on Banjo, acoustic guitar, and all kinds of other weird instruments.
