The first two songs from Old Dominion‘s album Meat and Candy are making fans listen up and take notice. “Break Up With Him” went to number-one, and it’s looking like “Snapback” might do the same–and the guys in the band credit their success on making music they like. Matthew from Old Dominion thinks that the energy the band has about it’s songs, translates to their fans over the radio, and at their live shows. And plenty of fans on the Spread The Love tour have been getting excited about Old Dominion and their single “Snapback” as the guys continue to tour the country with Kenny Chesney.

  Matthew from Old Dominion says that the band doesn’t really think about its “place” in country music, as much as it thinks about just making great music. (:47)
“We just think about tryin’ to write the best song we can and what’s gonna excite us. And now that we actually have an audience, you know, what’s gonna excite them. And I don’t really think we try to think about where we fit. Hopefully we fit in a lot of different places. And you know, it’s country, and it’s pop, and it’s rock, and hopefully, I think there’s room for all of that. So, as long as we keep following, you know, what excites us and what moves us when we’re writing, then that’s gonna translate to our show, and that’s gonna translate to our fans. And that’s the only way that we’ve really gotten any success in the first place. So, if we are creating some sort of new sound for the genre, it’s just by following what we like and what we think sounds cool and what we’d want to listen to.”
