What the press is saying about It’s Inside You so far:
“brutally futuristic” Revolver

(June 7, 2024) - CANDY releases their new album It’s Inside You via Relapse Records. It’s Inside You expands upon CANDY’s lauded brand of metal-warping, digitally-coated hardcore and includes the explosive focus track “Terror Management” along with previously shared and celebrated singles “Dreams Less Sweet,” “You Will Never Get Me” featuring Justice Tripp, “Love Like Snow” featuring MIRSY and mmph, and “eXistenZ.”
Across the 12 tracks of It’s Inside You produced by Quick along with Uniform’s Ben Greenberg and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios (NAILS, High on Fire, The Armed), CANDY created a manifesto of kinship and inner strength. The album serpentines its way through the dark and bright corners of the human psyche. While nihilism and the pains of the modern world still exist on the album, It’s Inside You sees the band turn toward tenderness more than ever before.
It’s Inside You creates an energizing and empowering atmosphere, in which seeking connections with oneself and with others is central. While constructing the album, CANDY opened up and invited collaborators — like Aaron Melnick (Integrity), Justice Tripp (Angel Du$t, Trapped Under Ice), David Gagliardi (Trash Talk), MIRSY (Fleshwater’s Marisa Shriar) and mmph (Sae Heum Han) — who all helped enrich and further define the band’s already distinctive energy.
CANDY will celebrate It’s Inside You with a show at Salty’s Beach Bar in Lake Como, New Jersey on July 6th with Everybody Gets Hurt, Division of Mind, Final Resting Place, Sector, and Last Man Out. Tickets are available HERE. Next month, CANDY will perform two nights with The Dillinger Escape Plan at New York City’s Brooklyn Paramount on June 21st and June 23rd. Both shows are now sold out.
CANDY is principal songwriter and guitarist Michael Quick, vocalist and lyricist Zak Quiram, drummer Steve DiGenio, and bassist Drew Stark. It's Inside You follows CANDY's sophomore album Heaven Is Here, which arrived in 2022 and was described by The FADER as “hardcore that sounds like a nuclear meltdown” and includes the tracks "Human Condition Above Human Opinion," "Transcend To Wet" and "World of Shit.” In 2018, CANDY released their debut album Good To Feel, which includes the standout tracks "Good To Feel" and "Lust For Destruction." In 2019, the band released the stand-alone singles "Super-Stare" and "Win Free Love" and acted as the distinct bridge between Good To Feel and Heaven Is Here.
