The Candace Brooks Band is clearly going about things the wrong way. Playing shows, writing songs, and having a myspace page doesn’t guarantee success the way it did back in 2005.
Every band in the history of the world loves to define their sound and compare themselves to successful bands. T.C.B.B. has an up-beat indie pop feel that people enjoy dancing to. Perhaps in the same vein as Tegan and Sara, Franz Ferdinand or The Strokes
From their catchy lyrics to the energy induced live shows, there’s palpable allurement to The Candace Brooks Band. Four witty and unique individuals come together to construct a vicious blend of progressive aggressive alternative rock. This Providence based band broke into the scene in 2007. Their debut CD, independently released “Life after Me”, won best Alt Rock Record of 2008 voted on by the readers of Motif Magazine for their annual Music Awards.
PRESS
Motif Magazine- “The Candace Brooks Band is pure, unadulterated rock. Ms. Brooks' vocal delivery provides context for the lyrics that would otherwise be lost had someone else been singing. Her timbre is contradictory in many ways - sweet yet dirty - soft yet aggressive -immaculate yet lustful.”
Type 3 Media-"At the very least, The Chase demonstrates just how much potential The Candace Brooks Band has to do great things. Their song-writing sense is sound, their skills are developed, and Brooks’ herself provides strong character with her unique vocal style… all these elements that together make this album one of the better independent releases I’ve heard in a while, and I can’t wait to hear what they have planned down the road."
Big Noise/ Al Gomes-"The Candace Brooks Band displays incredible pop sensibility on their latest CD, 'The Chase .' Candace's emotional vocal performance can wrap itself around a song, and thus around a listener's heart. She is, by far, the best of the best of the female vocalists in the 2009 burgeoning RI pop/rock music scene. Her real, edgy, and completely melodic vocal style recalls early Debbie Harry and Berlin's Terri Nunn, echoing their timeless and vulnerable phrasing, and connection to a great pop song. 'The Chase' is a strong song cycle with the ready-made hits 'Reign of My Heart,' 'I'm Gonna Break Your Heart,' and the future classic anthem, 'Feel It.' One of the most promising bands and vocalists to come out of New England in years. "
LimeLight Magazine/Jay Kenney-“The Candace Brooks Band is destined for great things. They are one of the hardest working local bands in New England and a personal favorite of mine. Some bands come and go, but this one continues to evolve musically while expanding their fan base. If you haven’t seen them live, then you’re completely missing out. They rock!!!”
