This week we shake things up like the two main artists we talk about. Country music has always had some strict rules, especially when it came to the behavior of women. But we’ve had the pleasure of seeing some ladies not taking it and defying the standard set out for them. Like Loretta Lynn before […]
Take a nostalgic ride with us back to the 90’s when Britpop was king and Oasis was on the front lines to take the world by storm. They started out as a group of five guys who just wanted to make music and quickly escalated into a best-selling band around the world. But even more […]
This week we deep dive on another heavy hitter – Madonna is an icon that goes beyond music, she is even know widely for her movies and her impact on the fashion world. And she knew this path was hers from the start. In this first part we cover her small town beginnings where she […]
This week we conclude our story of the guitar legend, Mr. Jimi Hendrix. He was on the fast track to dame, but had a hard time processing just what exactly that entailed. From his groundbreaking albums, to his historic Woodstock performance, to his tragic death, life was a nonstop ride for this tour de force. […]
We’ve got an extra special and extra long episode for you kids this week! We cover the epic story of GWAR. You may know them as that band that throws blood on their audience, but they are so much more. Ashleigh and Andy take Maggie on a journey through this band’s origin story to what […]
Big time episode this week as we cover another of the Big 4 metal bands- Megadeth!

But also there are hot takes aplenty […]
As we continue on with Women’s History Month, we talk about one strong, independent woman- Cyndi Lauper! Her rough beginnings as a homeless youth helped her to gain the perspective and courage she needed as she climbed her way up into not only the world of music, but also film and (our personal fave) WRESTLING! […]
Happy Women’s History Month at Rock Candy! We are kicking things off with the amazing story of M.I.A. She had a pretty tough childhood as a refugee from the Sri Lankan Civil War, and the injustices she witness would become the main topics in her hit music later in life. She took her desire to […]
For our final artist to celebrate Black History Month, we mix music and politics with Nina Simone. You may know her story, but we’re here to tell you that you probably don’t as much as you think. Not only has her music changed the course of history, but her activism went hand-in-hand with her influence. […]
It’s the punk band that made punk what it is today- Bad Brains is a key player in the hardcore movement and the chances that you know their music is slim. Their story even more so, which we are here to fix because it is an amazing story of a punk band comprised by a […]
