CANDY, an emerging force within the hardcore punk scene, has been rapidly gaining notoriety for their boundary-pushing sound and intense live performances. Emerging onto the scene with their formidable "Demo" in 2016, the band immediately made its mark with a raw and unfiltered energy that harked back to the hardcore roots while injecting their own innovative twist. The gritty aggression continued with "Candy Says," a release that showcased the band's ability to marry melodic riffs with an unrelenting hardcore pace.

The band's evolution is marked by a series of releases including "Good To Feel" and "Super-Stare," which saw CANDY refining their sound, blending elements of noise, punk, and metal into a cohesive and brutal sonic experience. Their music confronts listeners with a mesh of intense riffs, pummeling rhythms, and ferocious vocals, culminating in 2020's "Heaven is Here" that has amplified their standing in the hardcore music landscape. The visceral energy of CANDY's music is matched by their live performances, which are encapsulated in the "CANDY on Audiotree Live" session, further cementing their reputation as a formidable presence in hardcore music. With each release from "World of Shit" to "Transcend to Wet," the band has continued to build upon their foundations, pushing the envelope and shaping their unique and explosive sound, which challenges both the human condition and the realms of hardcore music.
