Eye Kandy is a 5 piece synthcore band which formed in the summer of 1994 and became the prime musical outlet for all its members. Experimenting with different styles and forms of recording, the band created a sound that is unique and all their own. Eye Kandy's sound is a collage of overdriven guitars and melodic keyboard sequences which blends the modern aggressive sound of 90's industrial and the radio friendly pop of 80's new wave without leaning too much in either direction.
Lead vocalist and main songwriter Kaliss first musically collaborated with guitarist and good friend James on what became many of Eye Kandy's first songs. Their clashing ideas supplied an energy to the first songs that would soon come to define the band's sound. Drummer/programmer Tom became an influential presence within the band on- as well as offstage. In 1997, guitarist Chris was added to contribute to the live sound. Also added that year was bassist Jen rounding out the current EK lineup.
Eye Kandy's first CD release, 'Dream kill dream', is the outcome of months of hard work. Recorded independently at the band's home studio, 'dream kill dream', still within the first months of its release, has already gotten massive critical approval as well as large amounts of dance club and college radio airplay. The band's sound continues to evolve and 'dream kill dream' is evidence that the band is ready to prove themselves within the scene and reach new fans far beyond it.
The strength of Eye Kandy is displayed in their powerful live performance. The combination of the fierce electronics and guitars, atop the firm foundation of Tom's unique drumming style, creates an infectious, hard edged groove which captivates each listener from beginning to end. This combination of strong live performance and quality songwriting will make Eye Kandy a force to be reckoned with in the next decade and beyond.
