Candy – “Football”

Andrew Barnes

Earlier this year, Candy released their brutal yet zany third album It’s Inside You. Today, the Richmond hardcore favorites are announcing a new EP titled Flipping whose cover artwork is as eyebrow-raising as the music. The lead single “Football” is out now.

“Football” is an enlightening blitz of digitized, metallic hardcore. Is this hyperhardcore? If such a thing were to exist, this would probably be what it’d sound like. The EP was mixed by producer/engineer Kurt Ballou (of Converge fame) at God City Studios. Hear “Football” at your own risk below.

TRACKLIST:
01 “Flipping”
