Last update: Friday 12th of March 2010 Candlebox
Candlebox is a Post-Grunge band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Caleb is Poo Poo; they later changed the name as a tribute to a Midnight Oil song. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style, which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success a result of it. Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to many of the same fans who had supported many of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge band however; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything and their style reflected that. Nevertheless, Candlebox had sold more than 4 million copies of their self-titled debut which, after many months of gaining momentum peaked at number 7 on Billboard's album charts. The follow up album, Lucy, was certified gold in 1996. Candlebox was the first successful act on Madonna's Maverick Records, which went on to sign Alanis Morissette, Deftones, and The Prodigy. Candlebox was known for an explosive live show and throughout their 8 year career, they toured with such bands as Living Colour, The Flaming Lips, Our Lady Peace, Rush, Henry Rollins, and Metallica. They were also a featured band on the main-stage at Woodstock '94 and made repeat live performances on the David Letterman show. Drummer Scott Mercado left the band in 1997 and was replaced by former Pearl Jam member Dave Krusen. Krusen later left the band in 1999 and was replaced by Shannon Larkin of Ugly Kid Joe. Bardi Martin also left the band that year, and was replaced by Rob Reddick (formerly of Dig). They are best known for the singles "Change", "You", "Far Behind" and "Simple Lessons". "Far Behind" entered Billboard's Top 20 in July of 1993 and didn't drop off the charts until January of 1994. The videos for "Far Behind" and "You" were in seemingly perpetual rotation on MTV and became two of the most requested videos of 1993. As of 2005, Kevin Martin is currently recording and performing as the leader of The Hiwatts. Peter Klett is currently recording and performing as the leader of redlightmusic. In 2006, Candlebox reunited with their original line-up and embarked on a three-month North American tour from July to October of that year. The band is currently writing and recording material for a new record due for release in 2007. This marks the first collaboration of the original lineup since 1996. Candlebox released a "Best Of" album on May 23, 2006. Candlebox Mp3 DownloadsDownload audio files (mp3 and wma) with Candlebox Songs using these download websites.

Candlebox in the news
I have a strange affinity for Candlebox. Well, part of me thinks it may not be so strange in a nostalgic “god I miss 90’s seattle/grunge, they don’t make rock music like this anymore” kind of way. The strange part comes in to play with my decision to go see them live last night at The Blender Theater at Gramercy, 14 years after they’ve had a song a Reformed Nineties rockers hit the road, and ready politically charged new album. You heard me, it's 1994 all over again! If you're not a hater (you no who you are) you should be excited to hear from the band. Check out their MySpace page to hear the new songs "Stand" and "Surrendering".
