Candid “Tonight”

Emotional vulnerability meets Candid’s restless energy in a blast of sonics. Vivid, flamboyant, unmistakable, and hard-hitting, “Tonight” sees their unfiltered honesty crawls to the messy surface. Bouncing and echoing in ever-evolving sonics and massive volume, the track is as epic as it is cathartic. The wrenching conflicts in “Tonight” reminds you of the Academic and the explosion and intensity reminds you of Inhaler. With “Tonight,” Candid places you in the middle of an escalation of a party.

But they are more sensitive than Inhaler and less nostalgic as the Academic. Instead of lingering in the past, they take the best of the present and brings all they have on the table. Candid take you to where they are and immerse you fully with heart. From party scenes to introspective moments, they don’t have a set preference. Instead, they ride with the tide and dive right into the best and the worst of any given moment with no reservation. Highest high or lowest low, Candid is always real with you. Their honesty, transparency and head-first spirit is why we love them so much.

Originated from Coventry, UK, Candid is a five-piece indie rock outfit consisting of brothers Rob (vocalists/guitarist)and Dan Latimer (lead guitarist) along with drummer Alex Bonsor, bassist Sam Baines, and keyboard player Max Fisher. They are as versatile as they are impressive. With expansive sonics and piercing, hard-hitting vocals, Candid charms you with a very unique sound that separates them from the rest. At the same time, their music has an universal appeal that grabs listeners’ attention and wins them over in an heartbeat.
