OLD DOMINION: Unveil 3 Previously UNRELEASED tracks (Audio & Video)
Here are some audio and video work parts to support these 3 previously unreleased tracks from Old Dominion.
Hey what’s up this is Matthew from Old Dominion! When we were growing up, the bands that we idolized sometimes would release songs that didn’t make the album, and rarities and B-sides and things like that. So we thought it might be cool for you guys to hear some music that didn’t make the first two albums. We’ve got a collection of songs that we’ve been teasing a little bit on socials and stuff, but we want to let you guys listen to the whole thing. So they’re a little raw, a little unpolished, but happy to get some new, technically old, music out to you guys. I hope you enjoy it, and we’ll see you soon.
“Can’t Get You” Work Parts
We tried to record “Can’t Get You” for both Happy Endings and for Meat and Candy, but we just felt like we weren’t bringing the same energy to that song in the studio that we could do live. Something about a live audience really brought that out in us, so we abandoned this recording and went with a live version on Happy Endings. But this is the original studio recording that we never even finished, there’s no background vocals or anything on here, so enjoy!
“Goes Without Saying” Work Parts
“Goes Without Saying” is the oldest of these unreleased songs that we’re releasing. It’s a song that we recorded on the sessions where we were making an EP independently. We had no record deal, we were just in the studio trying to do our thing. And this was a song that had been getting a lot of attention for us as writers around town. No one ultimately recorded it, but we recorded it and it was a fun moment for us in the studio to really sound like a band on this one, so enjoy!
“I’m On It” Work Parts
The story of “I’m On It” is- It was on the album Meat and Candy right up until the last second, when we wrote a song called “Song For Another Time” and we had to kick a song off of the album to make room for “Song For Another Time,” and “I’m On It” was that song. Now listening back to it, I kind of wish we had included “I’m On It” on there. I feel pretty good about this one, so I hope you like it!

Old Dominion, who most recently were notably the most nominated for the 2020 ACM Awards with 8, released the moving music video for their latest single “Some People Do .” The video was inspired by Jason Schneidman, celebrity men’s groomer, who also works with Old Dominion. Schneidman was previously homeless and, after overcoming drug addiction, turned his life around. In his spare time, he helps out the homeless of LA, providing haircuts as a means to connect with those who may be battling addiction issues, and funds scholarships to rehab centers. Back in early February 2020, the band joined him on the ground in Los Angeles to help out. The visuals, directed by Mason Allen, show the effect that if we all do a little, we can help out a lot. The song, with over 34.4 million streams, is the latest single off Old Dominion’s self-titled third studio album, which was released in the fall of 2019.
Old Dominion’s previous single, “One Man Band” went to No. 1 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. With over 362 million streams, “One Man Band” marked the band’s 8th consecutive No. 1 and biggest song to date. The band recently received Platinum and Gold certifications for 5 of their other hit songs: “Written in the Sand” (2x Platinum), “Break Up With Him” (2x Platinum), “Hotel Key” (Platinum), “Make It Sweet” (Gold) and “Nowhere Fast” (Gold).
