Hailing from the frozen bit of hell that is Syracuse, New York, the boys of Candid spew a buzzing brand of rock that is equal parts youthful spark and upstate bitterness.
In its seven years, Candid has developed an intensely loyal following that thrives on long nights and a strong sense of community. Since getting together in late 1998, vocalist Corey Paige, guitarist JP Midgley, bassist Mike Spadaro and drummer Sean Benz have left a trail of awards and converts wherever they have gone. The band has played the northeast extensively and appeared with numerous national and overseas acts, including Fountains of Wayne, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Andrew W.K. and Strangefolk. Honors Candid has received include Syracuse Area Music awards in 2002 for Best Rock Vocalist and Best Rock Band/Recording (Crooked Things), 2004 for Best Rock Recording (A Comforting Thought), and first place finishes in nearly every competition they have entered.
Candid recently released their fifth independent effort, "Misinterpreter."
Great show Saturday (As always). I'm looking forward to the rest this summer. Any chance some of those [dare I say] new tunes will be available for future repeaded listening?

You heard it right - I'm shaving my head in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising critical funds for childhood cancer research!
