We finish up our Beatles’ tales with John, the most controversial of the Fab 4. A ball of contradictions, this guy is very difficult to figure out. And for good reason. In this episode we look deep into his upbringing and his problematic family who made him the person he became. From a wonderful mother […]
This episode we take a look at Paul’s career after The Beatles, well, and also the long drawn out process he started when publicly announcing their disbandment. That wouldn’t be his only group project though, soon he and his wife Linda would start Wings, who would also bring him to heights of fame. We talk […]
Here we begin our story on one half of the legendary Lennon-McCartney songwriting duo. Paul is a man built with charisma and determination, someone who doesn’t understand no and works hard for his success. But he has had his hurdles to jump along the way, meeting each challenge with his business savvy and positive thinking. […]
In this episode we take a look at the rest of George’s legacy, with a few tidbits from his time in the Beatles and beyond. Not only was music important to him, but his spirituality was a driving factor in many things that he did. There will be some relationships that fail, and others that […]

We’re taking the next several weeks to look at each Beatle as an individual, and we’re starting with someone who raises different controversy than the other three.

It’s time to close up another year, this one being much spicier than others. But we still want to give you our top 10 songs that we heard this year. And in true Rock Candy fashion, Maggie keeps it dancey while Ashleigh keeps it metal. We get properly drunk and go on our usual tangents […]
This week we have the pleasure to present our interview with Enoch “Skeeter” Thompson, known for his place in the DC hardcore punk scene in the band Scream (you may remember them as the group Dave Grohl was a part of before Nirvana). Back in the late 70’s, Enoch joined up with his friends Franz, […]
This week we want to shine a light on one a band whose true talents get overlooked. The B-52’s may seem like just your standard party band, but they are so much more than that.

This week we delve into the age old question, does music actually have any influence on the people that commit crimes?
