Italian four-piece New Candys have shared stages with the likes of Dead Skeletons, Crystal Stilts and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion while two of their members also play as part of Lorelle And The Obsolete’s live set up. Having released their first album “Stars Reach The Abyss” back in 2012, they finally got round to putting out the follow-up “New Candys As Medicine” in March of this year. Produced by former Loop drummer John Wills, it’s a psychedelic power trip of an album that demands your attention from its opening bars. They also put out a limited edition 10 inch split single with Kill Your Boyfriend, and here’s ‘Surf 2’, taken from that release.

SONIC JESUS – ” Lost Reprise “
Posted: March 26, 2015 in MUSICTags: Fuzz Club Records, italy, Marco Baldassari, Sonic jesus, Tiziano Veronese
New single ”Lost Reprise” from Italian band Sonic Jesus. The track will be featured in their upcoming album ”Neither Virtue Nor Anger” which is expected to be released on April 16th via the wonderful Fuzz Club Records.
Sonic Jesus started to exist at Doganella di Ninfa (Cisterna, Italy), in March 2012. This project is a mutual collaboration …between Tiziano Veronese, formerly drummer and now the real composer and instrumentalist player of the project and Marco Baldassari, lyrics maker and a self taught musician. This deep friendship pushes them to create Sonic Jesus, a pure union of music and lyrics. Tiziano is the music maker, he is responsible for every single note in this project, while Marco Baldassari focuses his attention on the lyrics which are going to top the music. After years of immersion in the atmospheres of music and poetry, they decide to collaborate, creating an artistic hodgepodge, to create and make their passion something real, in a well defined frame. Indeed the sound of the band is a mix of colors and music which experiences the sound of the sixties, folk music, shoegaze and kraut nuances, a self-aware and passionate sound who has travel and discovery as its own identity.
The band immediately get a contract with Fuzz Club Records. Their hit single “Underground” takes part in the first Reverb Conspiracy’s compilation. Sonic Jesus will be the only Italian band featured in the album. “Underground” is an extract from the namesake EP 10”, released simultaneously with the compilation by Fuzz Club Records, Bad Vibrations and Reverberation Appreiciation Society on November 10, 2012. The EP boasts of the prestigious collaboration of Nonni Dead for the artwork. As soon as they started playing, the band had many sold out concerts, playing for a constantly increasing audience and supporting other famous musicians and bands, such as Damo Suzuki (Can), Dead Skeletons and Singapore Sling.
Sonic Jesus are about to release their first LP, produced by Fuzz Club Records, and will be part of the second edition of the Reverb Conspiracy’s compilation, with the single “Reich”. Sonic Jesus will be the only band to take part in the album for the second time in a row.

NEW CANDYS – ” New Candys EP “
Posted: March 16, 2015 in MUSICTags: italy, New Candys, Psychedelica, Shoegaze, Venezia
“New Candys’ chemical recipe verge more on a psychedelic drift, like their beautiful LP ‘Stars Reach The Abyss’ showed a couple of years ago. Hypnotic and sedated with ‘Dark Love’, faster and acid pop garage with ‘Surf 2’. The quartet know how to write a song and keep the good vibe on, wisely dosing vintage and ideas.” .
“Dysfunctional trip, ‘Meltdown Corp’ by New Candys from Venezia, conjures gorgeously dislocated, psych-soaked abyssal plains.” The band are Stefano Bidoggia: bass, organ. Dario Lucchesi: drums, percussion. Diego Menegaldo: guitars, vocals. Fernando Nuti: guitars, sitar, vocals.
“Their song ‘Meltdown Corp’ it’s an absolutely jaw dropping track. In fact, I had not heard of them until this, and I was on…line ordering their album before the song was even over. And then I played the song again. And again.” .
NEW CANDYS – ” Dark Love “
Posted: March 16, 2015 in MUSICTags: italy, New Candys As Medicine, The New Candys, Venezia
First single from the album “New Candys As Medicine”. “Doped, sedated, highly pop-psychedelic and buzzing in keeping a low profile. A long walk through the desert under the burning Sun.” The New Candys album “New Candys As Medicine” will be released today on March the 16th on Minneapolis based label Picture In My Ear (vinyl, cd and digital formats) and Fuzz Club Records (deluxe vinyl). We recorded it in different studios this time, between Brescia and Treviso, we worked hard on it mostly with John Wills (original drummer/producer of Loop, now with Pumajaw) who has mixed it, Pierluigi Ballarin who has recorded the most of it and Andrea Condotta, the owner of our previous rehearsal space Spazio 55 where we added some overdubs and recorded a song.
Gianluca Zanin instead has recorded the first single “Dark Love” at Studiobeat 2 in Treviso.
12″ black vinyl, original pressing limited to 200 hand numbered copies.
