Candygram For Mongo's much anticipated self-titled, second album, CANDYGRAM FOR MONGO hit the market on St. Patrick's Day- March 17, 2008. It is destined to earn the band many new admirers with 13 lucky tracks that rip, rock, and roll.
Candygram For Mongo (C4M) began in late 2005, when Tony Shea, The Voice, and Gary Sharp, The Drums, started ripping through tunes out in the back shack of G's house in North Hollywood. Taking the very best of 50 years of rock-n-roll, the band's signature sound is a combination of rock, power-pop, and punk characterized by high-speed anthems that could make the dead rise up and cheer. If Johnny Cash and My Chemical Romance were dating the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders - it would sound like C4M!
The band's first release, THE RED PILL, was an immediate critical smash. Their track, STORY OF TRIUMPH, earned the band their network television debut in the Farrelly Bros. (There's Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber) sitcom, UNHITCHED, on Fox. Sci-Fi Channel's hit show, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, placed C4M's song, INTERMISSION, in their episode entitled, Downloaded. HAPPY won the band a spot in the much-accredited Clear Channel Discover New Music Program and had C4M featured on every one of their Radio Station websites across the country. Skratch Magazine wrote of THE RED PILL, "Hooks for days, sugary yet shouted choruses and a versatile knowledge of the rock 'n roll playbook...set Candygram For Mongo way ahead of the rest of the whiners, poseurs and talentless but popular acts on the scene." "THE RED PILL is THE RIGHT CHOICE!," said Blogcritics.org, "They are unique and fun, which is rare in an industry of carbon copy, 'thinspiring' wannabe performers." Finally, Black Angel Promotions writes, "the music is absolutely brilliant." So what does the future hold?
Witness the rock-n-roll resurgence that is Candygram For Mongo at any of their gigs. Opening for national acts and performing regularly at world famous venues such as The Viper Room, The Derby, The Key Club, and The House of Blues, has garnered Candygram For Mongo an ever growing fan base across the country and around the world.
So pop in a Mongo CD, turn the volume up, and hold on to your balls |
