It has been 5 years since we last heard from Jellyfish inspired Vinyl Candy. The guys in the band, while busy with many things in their lives, have been busy working, meticulously crafting a sublime, easy to fall for followup to their debut. Listen, please to the soundbites. As is the case with bands who take songwriting seriously it begins and ends with the final result - and I`ve put some examples of Vinyl Candy`s hard work for you to chew on." - 8 out of 10. "The band has a distinct mid 70`s-era rock sound that mines influences like Queen, Bay City Rollers and Todd Rundgren pretty effectively. This album is also best compared to Imperial Drag with rock guitars paving the way for sticky pop sweetness. Opening with summery melody of "I`ll Be Fine (Part 1)" it has the reverb heavy guitars and Moog synths supporting the chiming harmonies in the chorus. The song moves seamlessly to "Fan Club History" with a Kiss-like ferocity in dense rock guitars and a heavy synth solo. "Chasing Time" is an fine mid-tempo pop example with a heavenly chorus and thick bass lines--- It took a few listens to get the full linear story, but it flows nicely. Certainly this album should put Vinyl Candy on the rise to fame for sure." - Power Pop Aholic. Vinyl Candy are not only principally inspired by Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Kyle Vincent, Supertramp and The Candy Butchers, you get the sense on listening to this debut that they live and breathe this music in every waking moment. Dedication to this type of pop art is more than casually noted. This is premium sugar-coated pop hookery, my friends. Despite not having a huge, major label project that the ambitions that artists driven by the art of the aforementioned bands would normally have, Vinyl Candy make more than due with what they have on this self-released long-lasting gem. It`s quite enthralling and picturesque in the portrait of classic sunny power pop. As Jellyfish were back in the early 90`s, Vinyl Candy is wonderfully out of step with what is happening in their present. But that makes Vinyl Candy`s work all the more bewitching and piquant. Vinyl Candy takes you back to a time when the music was fresh, inviting and warm. Pulling even more influences from the Beach Boys, Beatles, Eagles, Supertramp, Queen, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac and many others, its safe to say Power-Pop has never been more alive. Vinyl Candy`s heavy musical orchestrations, coated with layers of harmonies, melody, and unique sound will quench your taste-buds like a new piece of sugary sweet bubble gum. Extremely Highly Recommended!!
