Show notes

Candy Ambulance has been punk as f*ck since they came on the scene in 2014; half a decade later that hasn't changed. If anything, they've gotten harder, better, faster, stronger. From their humble beginnings taking their clothes off on stage to their uniquely stylistic music videos that can somehow be simultaneously hedonistic and macabre and beautifully human they've evolved as musicians but stayed true to the one-two punch of their grunge inspired sound and intensely emotional lyrics. In this episode we talk a lot about touring; how to do it and stay healthy without going broke and the crazy things that happen when you've surrendered to road and the stage.

It's in the second half of the podcast, though, that we talk about their new album Traumantic (set to release in September). Caitlin Barker (vocals, guitar, and songwriter) opens up about the trauma which inspired the very heavy material on this album. She also voices her concerns about being the front woman exposing decidedly female issues with a band composed of herself and 2 men. Jon Cantiello (drums/percussionist) talks about the shock of trying to convey through sound a feeling that they'll never be able to experience and Jesse Bolduc (bass, audio engineer, mixer) and I lean on eachother by admitting our issues with being drawn to broken people. The music video for the title track to the new album "Traumantic" was just released last week: https://youtu.be/jTWJqBgcMiA
