Onreleases like 2022’sOut Of Itand 2023’sGenerational EP, the quartet have embraced theplaylist generation, bridging the gap between genres and eras while racking up nearly 500,000Spotify listeners and viral TikTok moments that have reached millions more ears.“We talk a lot about not wanting to sound stale,” Cerretani explains. “I think the diversity of oursound comes from us all having our own creative itches to scratch. When someone brings anidea to the table, no matter how out of the box it might be, we’re down to go on a ride to chasesomething that makes us feel good.”Look no further than“Break Up With Your Girlfriend,”a sun-kissed slice of bouncy, late-’90spop/rock written with Kyle Fishman (Dan + Shay) and Nick Bailey (Machine Gun Kelly, jxdn). It’sthe sort of anthemic, elastic songwriting that fillsHot Mess, which was produced by JohnFeldmann, Andrew Wade and Andrew Karpovck and bridges the romantic and sarcastic withearworm melodies and awry smile. The band wrote more than 50 songs for the album,narrowing them down to a baker’s dozen calibrated to highlight their every strength, from thesludgy excess of “666 In The Morning” and Weezer crunch-stomp “Hot Mess” to the longing“Life Goes On” and hazy, nostalgic “Remember Her Like That.”“To us, writing songs is all aboutfeelings,” Faroudi says. “When people hit play on this album,we want them to feel how we did when we heard blink or Jimmy Eat World or Third Eye Blind forthe first time.”That sense of musical escapism has been a true guiding force for 408, named after a Floridahighway Faroudi frequented in his youth. “Growing up in a small town, getting on the 408 andheading to Orlando was a big deal for me,” he says. “I had a lot of life moments on that road–getting broken up with, losing a job, heading back home to visit family–and all of them are tied to songs I was able to lose myself in.”And as 408’s songs become that soundtrack for future generations of listeners, the band is ableto sit back with immense pride knowing they’ve built the foundation of their success with theirown hands. “We’ve been working so long by ourselves, and to have Big Noise believe in us isso validating,” Cerretani says. “Whatever comes next, we’re ready to embrace it.”
