"Please do yourself a favor and go see New Candys. Really good live."

Anton Newcombe, The Brian Jonestown Massacre

"Pretty good, pretty heavy. I don’t think anybody can outkink Italians. There are more and more kinky Italians around the music industry recently, that’s cool to me."

Iggy Pop on their single 'Zyko' during his BBC Radio 6 show

Concocted with the darkest deviant rock’n’roll ethos and distinctive melodic distortions, New Candys have established themselves as one of the most compelling bands to emerge from Italy in recent years. Founded by songwriter and singer-guitarist Fernando Nuti alongside bassist and synth player Dario Lucchesi, the lineup is completed by Emanuele Zanardo on lead guitar and backing vocals and Francesco Giacomin on drums and sampler.

Signed to the cult record label Fuzz Club, the band is recognized for its unfiltered artistic approach and versatility, spanning from aggressive, gritty sounds to minimal, introspective tones. The symbolism of their hometown, Venezia, often permeates their music, which explores surreal and sometimes cryptic themes.
