Punk-Pop from NYC/NJ: Candy Hearts

Paradox has always been a main ingredient in rock music – a genre always flirting with both punk rebellion and the "conformity" of pop culture. NY/NJ based band Candy Hearts perfectly embodies this dichotomy through a punkish, gritty power trio sound, sweetened by Mariel Loveland’s adorable girlish voice. The band released its debut full length "Everything’s Amazing & Nobody’s Happy" in 2011 and it’s been touring extensively since then. They just announced a February tour with Man Overboard.
