The enthusiasm for this new record is not just reserved for the fans, “Years ago I read something that changed the way i look at EVERYTHING! It struck so deeply that I have never forgotten it. It simply stated, “without music, life would be a mistake.” I’ve never forgotten it,

even when i was struggling to find a song or a melody it kept me searching and frankly I could not imagine my life without it [music]” says lead vocalist and co-founder, Kevin Martin. “This record for me is no mistake, it is our music and our love for what a great gift we have been given. Love Stories & Other Musings is a new direction for us and I couldn’t be happier to share it with our fans.”

“I haven’t felt this way about a release from Candlebox since our first record. The feeling for this record is both refreshing and stimulating,” said guitarist Peter Klett. “I can’t be more excited to release this music to the fans who have been with us for so long.”

After signing to their new label AudioNest/Fontana, Candlebox are carving their own role in today’s modern music scene, thanks to the support of their loyal fans. They have spent much of the past 5 years playing stateside and abroad for troops and appearing at festivals on multiple continents.
