Coming off of the Into The Sun album from earlier this year is Candlebox’s Miss You Video. *”The song was written about Kevin Martin’s late father who was in the armed forces in WW2 and the video is about missing loved ones, especially those serving our country.”* The video is all about missing the ones you love and is also a tribute to the U.S. Armed forces and features pictures and video submitted by military families. It’s a very touching video and song.

As a military vet from 1994 to 2005 I saw a lot of people come and go …read more

Candlebox’s newest release Into The Sun has been out for almost a week now. I’ve been trying to give it a good hard listen all the way through but with work and working on three blogs to include this one, it’s been kind of difficult. I have listened to it all the way through but with great distractions. Now what I can tell you is that this is no one-off comeback for Candlebox, thrown together with dollar signs in mind. This is going to be a bare-boned, basic review so kind of bare with me…

The new Candlebox was released this week (Into The Sun) and I have yet to do a review on it. I’m really enjoying it but I can’t yet put it to words yet. You can download the single “Bitches Brewing” by clicking on the link below where you can also subscribe to the Silent Majority Group mailing list and download other songs from bands on their label such as Tantric and Fosterchild among a few more bands.
