I don't think we've ever woken up one day and been like, 'We made it!'" says Stewart. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, they had a stockpile of songs in their arsenal, and they continued writing through the stillness of last summer. "We've always considered ourselves a band that's taken it step by step. In 2019, The Band CAMINO released their tryhardEP. They also earned a coveted slot at Bonnaroo this year, but heavy rains canceled the festival. 5 Seconds of Summer are hitting the road once more, and this time theyre going out alongside The Band Camino. The Band Camino may be on the verge of big things, but its members are remarkably chill about the process, from making their national television debut this year on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to hitting Lollaplooza in 2019. In a twist, the band that used to play covers of "Yellow" by Coldplay now have a line about how far they've come in the explosive song "Know It All" - "You love the color yellow but you hate the song." "These new songs are like who we are right now." "It would have been a different album because we wrote so many songs over quarantine that ended up taking the place of songs that we already had," Jordan says. The band had intended to record their debut between spring and fall tours in 2020, but the pandemic left that process unrushed and organic. "Nobody makes records like that anymore." Now, they have a self-titled album to prove it. But the thing that it did allow us to do in preparation for our record was give us time, which is something we normally don't have a lot of," says Burgess. After more than five years as a band, The Band Camino have never felt more confident in their music.

The Tour Camino kicked off on March 23rd and proceeded to take the next month by storm. "It's hard to say that COVID was a good thing because it wasn't. The Band CAMINO’s self-titled debut is out September 10th, with the band prepping to hit the road with Dan + Shay in support of the LP. A month to record an album was a luxury only offered due to the pandemic. The trio recorded the entire album over a monthlong stay in the middle of the desert at the Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas. The aspect of collaboration is not dead or anything, but definitely seems like a little bit few and far between." "It's so easy right now to just make a song in your bedroom, on your laptop, by yourself. "We kind of feel like we're hopefully trying to bring bands back a little bit," says Jordan. They liked that "camino" means "path" or "way" in Spanish and that the word "band" is in the title. The band's name came a little randomly: The founding members couldn't decide from a list of possible names when they happened to see a Chevrolet El Camino.
