CHIODOS - 3AM

3AM is the third single released off of the upcoming studio album Devil from Chiodos. The first two singles released were Ole Fishlips is Dead Now and Why the Munsters Matter released January 27th and February 18th respectively. These three tracks are ‘instant gratification’ tracks along with three others off of the album; Duct Tape, Behvis Bullock, and Under Your Halo. When you pre-order the album, you get an automatic download of these songs.

3AM has more of a ‘pop’ sound and style than the past two singles, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it shows diversity! However we all know what happens if a band shows any bit of diversity in their sound. The sound itself has been compared to that of D.R.U.G.S and (my hometown heroes) All Time Low, or as one YouTube commenter stated a “Lucky Charms commercial”; and of course many people have pointed out Matchbox 20 parallels with their song of the same name.

Chiodos: “These one night stands are meaningless. But I'm laying in bed with a girl I just met at 3AM.”

Matchbox 20: “She says baby. It's 3 am I must be lonely.”
