Even though a lot of our songs are sad, we get those feelings out through music—which is ultimately positive.”“We use the melodies to offset heavier subject matter,”Spencer goes on.“There are levels to feelings.When the words are sungoutloud, it’s a different energythan reading them on the page.

This time around, they made a conscious decision to cling tighter to the guitars, nodding to formative influences such as Kings Of Leon and The Killers in the studio.“We went down a rabbit hole of more synth pop elements on the last record,”recalls Garrison.“ForTheDark, we wanted to tap back into the tryhard era. We’re keeping the melodies alive, but we’re bringing some of the guitars and fat drums back into the mix. We’re staying within the realm of what we think The Band CAMINO is. It’s a culmination of the different styles of music we grew up listening to.” “We’d written tons of ballads, but we wanted to give people tunesthat would translate live,” Spencer states.“We’re learning what we like and what we are here to say.” “We’re a rock band who can play pop songs,”Jeffery declares. “In this day and age, we know it’s rare to have a massive hit with guitars on it.We just tried to figure out how to sound like The BAND CAMINO and still write big anthems that might touch the masses.” Theboysinitially teased the album with the hard-charging“Told You So,”“What Am I Missing?,”and“Last Man In The World,”gathering millions of streamsin the process.However,the funky strut of abright guitar lick sets the scene on the swaggeringsingle“SeeYou Later.”Athick bassline underlinesSpencer’sfalsetto refrainonly to give way to a warbling and wild solo.“We needed another Spencer falsetto moment,”laughs Jeffery.“It’s guitar-based and very Prince-inspired. It’s our sexy song.”Then, there’s the chantable“Save My Life.”A snappydistortedriff upliftsaglorious gang vocal to theheavens as the words ring out,“I can’t turn you down to save my life.”“We wanted to write something with a‘SuperChorus’,”Spencer continues.“It goes into this big’Save MyLife’moment where you want to raise your handslike you’re in church. We spun it into being about arelationship.”Elsewhere,“Afraid of the Dark”encapsulates a core theme ofthis body of workin the hook,“You’re thereason I’m afraid of the dark.”“It calls back to thetryhardtrack‘Haunted’,”Spencer reveals.“It’s the same energy where you’rehaunted by the ghost of someone. This person is why you have a feeling of unrest at home alone, andyouwant to leave the lights on or go out with friends.”“We took this innocent childhood fear, and we put it into the context of a relationship,”adds Jeffery.The upbeat and undeniable“Three Month Hangover”details the aftermath of a relationshipsoundtracked by an intoxicatingguitargallop.“It’s pretty autobiographical for me,”says Jeffery.“I hadjust gone through a breakup. It had been three months, and Iwas stillmessedup over it. I needed todeal with it in the song.”In the end, The Band CAMINOmight just brighten your day.“I grew up in a big family, and I didn’t always feel like I was heard or understood,”Jeffery leaves off.“Finding music made me realize I wasn’t alone. If any of these songs do that for somebody else, I’llconsider my time here well spent. Music has been there for all of us. A lot of times, I didn’t want toaddress the dark. Talking about the dark and getting it out can help a lotthough. Let’s figure it outtogether at a show.”BOILERThe Band CAMINO knowwhat lever to pull in order to move you and—quite possibly—turn your moodaround.
