Behind the Song:
'If you wanted to pinpoint the one song on on fire that is most autobiographical, at least in terms of Peter’s music career, “Faster and Louder” is the song. Lyrically it’s the synopsis of his approach to music... “joyful, joyful, faster and louder.” All set, of course, within a quirky techno tune as memorable as anything you’d hear on Top 40 radio today. “If you’ve been mellowed out, I know the cure...” Peter sings. And this ‘Breakfast In Hell’ boy certainly knows.' - Melissa Riddle Chalos
