Bla’gard- Candy
by Tim Wenger
North Carolina duo Blag’ard could hit it big at the Hi-Dive here in the Mile High City. Their new record, Fresh Candy, is the third full length release from the group. It showcases strong elements of indie rock but is focused solely on guitar, vocals, and drums (the only instruments used by the band). Adam Brinson’s drums stand out in the music just as strongly as Joe Taylor’s guitar riffs, both mixing together harmonically to provide steady, contagious music behind Taylor’s bucolic voice.
The record is at times a bit slow, but seemingly appropriate for their mellow-rock style that hooks listeners with catchy, original lyricism and instrumentation. The group is reminiscent of 90’s rock interlaced with the melodious side of classic rock bands. The record, which will be available everywhere October 9, would make the perfect soundtrack to a cross country road trip.
