about

"The first time I met Jackie was at the San Bernardino District Ball field. I had Jackie's album 'Full Release' playing on my car stereo kickin' from my '82 Camero while my date and I got busy in the dugout. After that, I took all my dates to the ball field. With Jackie."
—Lead Audio Consultant, Ron Johnson

Over their career, The Audio Consultants have seen peaks and valleys. They notoriously peaked with songs that fueled the soundtrack to teenagers' lives around the world. The valley's hit when Hollywood came calling in search of the 80’s soundtrack sound; a sound that both attracted new fans and disdained long time followers.

"I went from scalping tickets at the mall for Jackie shows to having my gnarly band asked to perform on The Tribute Album. How rad is that? We chose the song, 'They Did It For Love', cause let's face it, it has a guitar solo. I'm a guitar player, so of course, I want to do my solos.”

LYRICS

Someone's got it in for me, I know
They're planting seeds that they can't possibly sow
Whoever it is I wish they would cut it out
Or I'll shut them out for good

But who am I to judge?
If they say they did it for love

The situation is quite complicated
It's dedicated to that mouth that you run
How quickly the table gets flipped
I have come equipped with change by the way of a gun

But who am I to judge?
If they say they did it for love
