We’ve reached the bridge of our Nirvana series, and here is where the tides change twice: once with the addition of their new drummer Dave Grohl, and again with the addition of the infamous Courtney Love into Kurt’s love life. How did Kurt get addicted to heroin? How bad were the names of Dave’s first […]
Y’all ready for this? The 100th episode of Rock Candy Podcast and we are hitting hard with a real epic story that you don’t know the half of. Nirvana is a household name, as commonly heard as Jimi Hendrix or The Beatles. Their grunge music shaped an entire generation, but who were they before the […]
They’re one of the most influential groups in the rap/hip-hop genre, but actually had their humble beginnings in punk and hardcore. The Beastie boys have taken advantage of every opportunity that’s come their way and infused their own interests in every step along the way. In this week’s episode, learn how exactly it was that […]

We are kicking off this year with the deepest dig of our heaviest hitters. Queen is a band with a myriad of hits and four stand-out talents contributing on every album, but many only know a handful of songs and know that Freddie had a mustache in the 80’s. But this band has one of […]
This week we discuss the group that not only helped to bring techno into the mainstream, but has spent over the past 2 decades crossing musical genres and evolving their sound with each album.
