Andiamo is the second album released by punk band Authority Zero. It was released on June 30, 2004 on Lava Records and includes the single "Revolution" (which is also included on the compilation album Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1) and a cover of the Wall of Voodoo song "Mexican Radio", with small lyrical changes included to include the song as the band's statement against the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The title is Italian and means "we go". It should also be noted that the title of the album can be split to read "And I Am 0" ("And I Am Zero"), as seen faintly in the CD insert. (And) I Am Zero is the name of Authority Zero's live DVD, which was released in 2005.
