Originally from Boston but relocated in Buffalo, NY, melodic hard rockers ROCK CANDY were simply one of the ’80s best unsigned bands from the genre. Their one and only 1987’s album titled “Sucker For A Pretty Face” is one of the most sought after records by fans & collectors, and there’s a reason: all the 10 tracks are winners – no filler.
Now the album is being reissued on CD in limited quantities titled ”Sucker For A Pretty Face [Extended Version +8]”, including well recorded demos from 1985-1986 as bonus tracks.
ROCK CANDY were so good that deserved major exposure – it’s simple; great musicianship (plus excellent harmony vocals), and above all, very consistent songwriters. Despite being an indie production / release, ”Sucker For A Pretty Face [Extended Version +8]” sound quality is strong and clear.
These guys mixed up some AOR to the sharp guitar work, a blend that enriched the overall songwriting and provided variety. It’s a crime ROCK CANDY didn’t make it big, they were much better then many major acts from the era. The band supported big cats such as Def Leppard, and some record labels were interested to sign them, however good luck eluded the group, and split up in 1989.
A really, really good ’80s album and band.
