The Unlikely Candidates have just released their newest single, “Bells” today. Last week the track premiered on Fox Sports as the network’s Thursday Night Football first listen campaign during the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots game.
“As a man walks through the crowd on his way to the gallows, he thinks of how he got there, what he’s become, and where, if anywhere, he’ll go once he reaches the end of the rope. ‘Bells’ is the ballad of the dammed,” states frontman Kyle Morris about the track. “It’s about how pain, shame, and the law of man are all things of this world that are stripped away in the light of the last real truth. That we must all meet Death as a friend or foe…naked, alone, and carrying all that we have done in this life.”
“Bells” follows the band’s previously released jams “Best I Ever Had”, about a young love gone toxic, and “Oh My Dear Lord”, which Baeble raves as “The stormy song is a dark anthem that would definitely perk up the ears of AWOLNATION or X Ambassadors fans.” The latter was featured on television shows like ABC’s American Idol, FOX’s The Four, NFL’s Super Bowl 2018 playoffs, ESPN’s 2018 Indy 500 programming and more. The hit has racked up over streams on Spotify. Due to the track’s success, FOX Sports and the MLB both named The Unlikely Candidates as “Artist of the Month”.
