Released today, along with tour info and new album info! This is definitely the poppiest of the songs released so far, makes me wonder if this is what their plan for radio is(if they have one…). Personally i would rather see one of the other 3 previously released songs as i am more into their rock tinged sound than this. By no means do i think this is bad though, its decent enough and will likely grow on me.
Album out Aug 11th, tour to follow in September.
“The Dark” tracklist:
1. Told You So 2. What am I Missing? 3. Save My Life 4. Let it Happen 5. It’s You (It’s You) 6. Same Page 7. See You Later 8. Afraid of the Dark 9. Novocaine 10. Three Month Hangover 11. Last Man in the World

Haven't heard this yet (the preview didn't sound...enticing), but "Afterthought" being left off of the track listing is a travesty.
ETA: yeah this is easily the worst of the four and very meh

Goes for Hot AC adds on July 10th.
I'm glad they're going to radio again, but this song is not that good, lol. Would have rather seen them try one of the first three at Alternative instead, but I wonder if Elektra just views them as a Hot AC band now? Even if they were just pushing to Hot AC, I would have rather seen "What Am I Missing?" get sent because I think that song fits. Hope Elektra doesn't just relegate them to Hot AC forever...

This song is pretty solid but I don't see it being a hit. Late 90s/early 00s vibes or is it just me?

I actually like this and with ITILY’s catchy - falsetto heavy chorus, I can see why they’re pushing this to HAC as this one also has a strong catchy falsetto heavy chorus, which is a strong suit of theirs. More interested in this ones streams bc if they’re weak, it’ll have a much harder time connecting on radio.
I could see them focus other singles on Alt if this connects on hot Ac as I’ve noticed core- Alt singles don’t bring in a huge amount of streams lately. Even if this doesn’t connect on hot ac, they could still pivot them to more of a ALT focus.

Top 50 on Hot AC HOT AC84 50 THE BAND CAMINO See You Later 61 11 50 0.033 This got 19 adds today and is actually doing solidly streaming wise with 65k daily streams so if it holds up and slowly gains, and Shazam metrics backs this up, I could see them getting their first top 10 with this. Of course Thais is wishful thinking lmao

55 38 THE BAND CAMINO See You Later 212 50 162 0.144
Broke into the top 40 less than a week after adds date. This one has seriously grown on me and looking at its radio, Spotify performance and playlisting (all three metrics are growing SOLIDLY), it’s looking very similar to the start of ‘I think I Like You’ and if it’s radio/streaming keeps growing like it is and it influences its Shazam performance, this could do really well for them on Hot AC. Plus their tour venues caps have elevated significantly and I can tell Elektra knows they also have Alt crossover potential hence the editorial playlisting of their more Alt tracks on Spotify. I’m making a bolder prediction if all above aligns, this could be a top 10 for them on Hot AC with a possible introduction to CHR radio, even if a top 40 placement. Im rooting for them, they have a nice lane for themselves.

Though this had a strong start, I think the significantly weak Shazam performance is going to do this one in. Might even struggle to make it to top 20 tbh
