Candy Hearts were a New Jersey based pop punk band formed at the tail end of the 00's and fronted by singer-songwriter Mariel Loveland. Best described as empathetic tragedies channeled through '90s alternative-soaked pop-rock, Candy Hearts did downtrodden and heavily introspective sentiments with bubbly, hook-filled inclinations like no other.

Their sophomore LP 'All The Ways You Let Me Down' was produced by Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory) and ranked by Billboard as one of the best pop albums of 2014.
Although they toured with pop punk heavyweights like Set It Off, Real Friends and The Story So Far as well as some stints on Vans Warped Tour, Candy Hearts have always aimed for ' Taylor Swift meets the Breeders'.

'You Could Be Anyone' is a collection of B-sides and rarities from 2010-2016, marking the 10 year anniversary of 'All The Ways You Let Me Down'. Mastered By Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden, 'You Could Be Anyone' is limited to 100 cassettes in purple tint. Candy Hearts will be reuniting to mark the anniversary at Fest in Gainesville this October. Although a decade has passed the message is still as clear and honest as possible to both fans and themselves. "I've always wanted this band to be completely true to ourselves," Loveland says, "That's just what our band has always been about."

Bleached Cross / The True Faith "Columns of Impenetrable Light"

LP - $17.25
STREET DATE: 8/9/2024
CAT#: PRO-096
LABEL: Protagonist Music

"Columns of Impenetrable Light" is the cold new split between oppressive post-punk/darkwave outfit Bleached Cross (Protagonist Music) and post-punk stalwarts The True Faith (A La Carte Records). After working together on the co-release of the Bleached Cross B-Side and demo compilation "Exhumed," which featured a remix by The True Faith, both bands and labels have converged to deliver a sonic exploration of two sides of the same coin. Ruminations on life and death, hope and despair flowing across 8 new propulsive and brooding tracks…this is music for contemplating the void between the earthly realm and the infinite blackness that awaits us after our last breath. Featuring two unique vinyl colorways with jackets printed on reverse stock and adorned with foil stamped lettering, the record also features art design by Coward's Way for a complete audio and visual experience. This is Columns of Impenetrable Light: step inside and see what lies beyond.

Hailing from Southern California, Duhkha's members have cut their teeth in the hardcore and metal scenes of California over the past two decades, including time in Eighteen Visions, Seizures, Teeth, and Dangers. Shortly after forming in 2020, they released a self-titled 7" in 2021 on Escapist Records. Duhkha spent much of 2021 and 2022 playing shows with the likes of Stick To Your Guns, Eighteen Visions, END, Pressure Cracks, Heiress and more before taking 2023 to write their debut full length. A Place You Can't Come Back From was recorded, mixed and mastered by the band's own Erol Ulug in his studio Bright Lights in Santa Ana, CA and will be released in 2024 on Good Fight Music. Duhkha has constructed 11 compositions of chaotic and aggressive metallic hardcore for fans of Coalesce, Deadguy, Botch, and Meshuggah.
