With music in all genres of the rock spectrum EARCANDY has something to offer nearly every visitor. Alternative, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock or Blues - they can do it all! Their self-produced music has stood the test of time and is growing in popularity. So be sure to drop your HOT/FLOP vote on a song and tell a friend about the rockin little band from OKC - EARCANDY! Why this name? Someone once said to us that hearing good old rock n roll was like sweet music to their ears, we told them we had plenty more of that sweet earcandy to give them! Do you play live? We play and rock a few local bars here in OKC, we really love it when we get the crowd up on the dance floor, whether it's to dance, HEADBANG or do shots of tequilla! How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry? I think the internet gives people more access to the music they want to hear, instead of forcing them to listen to what is crammed down their throat over the airwaves, this way, good music, whatever genre, can be heard, even if the big companies don't like it - the people do!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label? Yes, but they would have to embrace an mp3 policy and be modern in their thinking. We will never let go of the internet! Band History: Earcandy was started in 1999 by Ray Bryant. After many failed attempts to find a serious project, Ray decided to start his own. However, he resolved that this time things would be different. Ray decided that a group with the right chemistry, tools, goals and motivation could achieve anything. The name originated from Ray's love for rock music. When asked to explain the name, he would say "If Rock & Roll is sweet music to your ears, then have we got a little EARCANDY for ya!". EARCANDY started backwards by recording an album first with its new members, thus giving a solid foundation for the band to stand on of great original music. After one year of promoting their music online, EARCANDY was playing a music festival in L.A. The Bands second year brought another album, more clubs, more worldwide attention and fans over the web. The 3rd year, another album and a few changes in the bands line up. Now in the 7th year the band is beginning work on yet another album. EARCANDY adopted a policy of a new song every month until they get someone's attention. With the help of talented members, a worldwide cyber fan base, and the advent of the digital home studio, EARCANDY is proving that there is more than one way to get what you want in today's world. All you have to do is stick to the plan and keep using the talent that God gave you, and you can do anything.
