"The Band" is a song from the Swedish rock band Mando Diao. It is about a fight between the band's two singers. It was written when singer/songwriter Gustaf Norén wanted to leave the band and move away from their hometown of Borlänge, Sweden. Björn Dixgård, the band's other singer/songwriter, wrote the chorus of the song to Norén after their fight to reveal his side of the argument. Norén returned to the band after hearing Dixgård's song. The band reconciled, and Norén wrote the verses to the song.

The Band was released as a single and on Mando Diao's first album, Bring 'Em In, in 2002. The B-Side, "Driving Around" was also released on the Swedish Paralyzed EP and the Japanese Sheepdog EP.
