Candy - Whatever Happened To Fun

"The weekend's here and I've got nothing to do"

We're going back to the 80's today because I just discovered a little gem of a band that I'm loving. Candy are sort of like the 80's incarnation of the Bay City Rollers... all classic, catchy hooks and a great pop/rock sound. This is big pop music the way it should be. It's overblown, sugary and instantly gets lodged in your head, sounding like a classic the very first time you hear it. And in an odd little twist, Candy was the band that Gilby Clarke from Guns & Roses was in before G&R. Candy sounds nothing like G&R, but I thought it was a funny fact given that Chinese Democracy just came out last week. Regardless, though, this is an amazing under-the-radar band and I'm super excited to delve into their (admittedly limited) catalogue.
