I don’t know, with “Daphne ,” we really wanted to put out something that was a band song – and it does sound poppy, and it sounds like something that could be on the radio or something – but we definitely still want to maintain the fact that we are a band, and we can play our songs live with guitars, like a four-piece band. The people that are recording us and mixing and mastering… I mean, we’re using some really awesome, talented people who have taken their time to work with us, and I think they’ve helped us step up our game and made it sound more “commercial” in a way, and more poppy, I guess you could say. Jeffrey: I think it sounds more pop because we kind of stepped up in our production game, and the people that we’re working with. This most recent single and the one that came out in the spring are much more pop-sounding are you doing that intentionally, or are you just making the songs and they just end up that way? Especially the newest single, I love it – I think it’s fantastic and such a fresh sound in terms of your continued growth. And I’ve noticed, too, that your sound has progressed in the last couple of years as well. And coming full circle, now it actually meaning like, “ we took the band path,” it’s cool how it came to mean something over the past three years, when we were kind of completely unknowing in the beginning. We ended up going with Camino because Graham saw an El Camino. It’s cool, when we named our band “The Band CAMINO,” we didn’t really… It didn’t really mean a lot to us at the time, which sounds kind of dumb, but we were trying to find a band name for so long, and we kept sitting on a couple songs that we had, and we kept trying to think of a band name. Jeffrey Jordan: It’s been a wild ride, I think we can all agree. Sometimes with bands and projects it’s a very quick spike, but I feel like for us it’s always sort of been like a grind-up and down, but always consistent, if that makes any sense. Graham Rowell: I would say that it’s been a very long road. So leading up to where you are now, what has that path been like for you, especially in the last few years? “Art is just reflective of what you feel about society and about your life in general, so it’s cool for people to actually care about what you have to say about stuff.” Listen: “My Thoughts on You” – The Band CAMINOĪtwood Magazine: I find it really interesting – and you’ve mentioned this before – that the word “Camino” means road or path. “I think the platform part is maybe one of the coolest parts,” Guitarist Spencer Stewart notes of the band. Suffice it to say, The Band CAMINO are formidably forging their musical path, but they know full well not to take their platform for granted. Their most recent single, “Daphne Blue,” premiered on Billboard last month. They have a slew of exponentially successful tracks, including “ My Thoughts on You,” “2 / 14,” and “Berenstein,” and have landed coveted features on a plethora of playlists – including a spot on Taylor Swift’s “Songs Taylor Loves” playlist on Spotify. To say that The Band CAMINO isn’t a band worth noting would be an empirically grave misjudgment, as they’ve made an explosive impact on indie music over the last few years. The Band CAMINO masterfully blend their undeniable rock prowess with power pop sensibility, infusing their songs with infectious riffs and lithely crafted lyricism. “So I don’t think there’s an overarching message, but we just want to connect with people who feel what we feel, and overall just connecting and relating to people is really what it’s all about.” “We just want to be honest with ourselves and honest about how we feel and what we think,” Jeffrey Jordan, lead vocalist for The Band CAMINO, says of his band.
