The (John) Candy California
The (John) Candy has been described as many things...a nostalgia machine, an embarrassment, sample-core, nostalgia-core, and
tribute-core.
All music is sampled from other hardcore/metal/djent/metalcore/etc. acts, woven into a nostalgic tapestry of movie quotes, and most recently, pop music of the era. The band has self-produced and released four additional EPs, one single, and two full lengths.

I've been enjoying Anup's play-through videos online almost daily for about a month now, and I am happy to support him with this purchase. Extreme power balanced (but never limited) by control and attention to detail. I'm not sure which I enjoy more: the relentless assault he unleashes or the composure and focus he maintains as he does so. Watching him lock into his work is a sublime experience, and his kit sounds phenomenal. Do not deny yourself!

Intense and interesting. Clearly worshipping at the altar of Meshuggah, and while vocals are absent that void is filled by a more intense bottom end, and guitar picking that becomes its own rhythmic instrument. This is brilliant, but I’d love to see what this guy would do with some artistic collaboration. One man bands can get stuck in one dimension and the potential shown here could be a global phenomenon with just a little tweaking. Let me finish by saying again, this is brilliant.

Another satisfying dose of metallic, sludgy melodic post-hardcore from the Newcastle, Australia-based outfit.
