Not only is the legendary John "Feldy" Feldmann behind the production desk but various other favourites from the pop punk world have been seen stopping by the studio.

Let's recap over who has been spotted working with Andy thus far:

1) Patrick Stump

Will there be a soul-voiced duet somewhere on the record?

3) Gerard Way

He's back! He's actually back! Will this mean that the black parade will be reborn with Andy in tow? Probably not. But still, he's back!

An inspiring creative force and a true artist! This record just keeps getting more exciting! I can't wait for you all to hear it!

4) Rian Dawson

After laying down some drums for Andy, do you think Rian could convince the other ATL guys to come join in?

Huge thank you to @riandawson for coming in and lending his skills on the drums to the last few #AndyBLACK songs on the record! What a supremely talented and nice guy! I also enjoyed chatting NFL stats with him. We are nearing the end of tracking and I couldn't be more excited with what we have created! Photo by: @alliesaurousrex mastermind wizard @johnfeldy
