🎧 How Andrew J. Gomez Made Guitars Slam for Knox & Drums Smack for John Harvie

In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with Andrew J. Gomez — a producer, songwriter, and member of the band LOYALS whose work has been shaping the sound of modern alt-pop and rock. From gritty guitars to punchy drums, Andrew’s productions bring edge and immediacy to every record. His credits include Knox, John Harvie, Games We Play, girlfriends, Caroline Romano, Spencer Jordan, and more.

🎶 Song deep dives:

• “Bleach (On The Rocks)” by John Harvie — raw vocal grit, dynamic guitar tones, and blending real drums with trap elements

🎛️ We explore:

• How Andrew adapts his production to different artist identities

• Guitar layering, tones, and the art of making them slam
