Candlebox
Formed in California Candlebox consist of Kevin Martin (vocals), Peter Klett (guitar), Bardi Martin (bass) and Scott Mercado (drums), and were widely celebrated as one of the most exciting American rock bands to arrive in the mid-90s. They signed to Madonna's Maverick label and buoyed by the media interest that accompanies the singer's every move, Candlebox soon found themselves a major success. Both Far Behind and You were hits in the singles chart and in 1995 sales of CANDLEBOX reached three million copies in the USA. CANDLEBOX was co-produced by Kelly Gray and revealed a band happy to explore territory somewhere between traditional pop-metal and Seattle-styled grunge.
