Led by songwriter, singer and guitarist Fernando Nuti, New Candys are a band with Dario Lucchesi as the only other permanent member since the beginning.Concocted with only the darkest of deviant rock'n'roll ethos and distinct melodic distortions, New Candys are one of the most important bands to have emerged from Italy in recent years. Their hometown of Venice is subtly interwoven through a focused aesthetic, not only sonically produced, but curated in their album artworks designed by Nuti himself.
With many years on the road internationally, they have done several tours around Europe, UK, United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia. Some festival appearances include SXSW, Treefort Music Fest and Psycho Las Vegas in 2022, Levitation France and Desert Stars Festival in 2019, Sydney and Melbourne Psych Fests as headliners in 2018 and in the same year they recorded a session for KEXP. They have supported artists such as The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols in Europe including shows at the Olympia Hall in Paris and The Roundhouse in London. Iggy Pop described them as "kinky" and Gordon Raphael, producer of The Strokes, expressed his appreciation for the band. Some of their songs are featured on episodes of Showtime Networks original TV series "Shameless".Their new album 'Vyvyd', mixed by Grammy Award producer Tommaso Colliva, was released in 2021. The current lineup includes Emanuele Zanardo on lead guitar and backing vocals, Marco Contestabile on bass and Francesco Giacomin on drums and sampler.

With a storming set that dominates the Roundhouse are New Candys. Without fuss or ado, or any lights to speak of, they set about bombarding the room with their loud, atmospheric, addictive songs.
Louderthanwar on their show at the Roundhouse in LondonPlease do yourself a favor and go see New Candys. Really good live.
Anton NewcombePretty good, pretty heavy. I don’t think anybody can outkink Italians. There are more and more kinky Italians around the music industry recently, that’s cool to me.
Iggy Pop on their single 'Zyko' during his BBC Radio 6 showThis album is a solid set of shoegazer psych-rock with fuzzy guitars, atmospheric synths, heavy rhythms, detached vocals and hypnotic song hooks.
KEXP's Music Director Don Yates"Vyvyd" takes the best of psych and shoegaze, adds an effective strain of driving originality and songwriting chops, and dresses it up in a satisfying intensity.
Under The Radar'Begin Again' is just incredibly good.
Gordon Raphael, record producer of The Strokes' "Is This It" and "Room On Fire"New Candys played to a full and partisan room, showcasing songs from their fantastic recent album "Bleeding Magenta". These are 90s indie songs (in a very positive sense) precision tooled for playing live. They slay the room.
Clash Magazine on their Fuzz Club Eindhoven live showMixing brooding psychedelia with post-punk stylings, the record captures the full intensity of their live show with devastating results.
Drowned In SoundNew Candys sound like something between The Stooges and The Jesus & Mary Chain. Super wild and super cool.

BIO

Guidati dal contante, chitarrista e songwriter Fernando Nuti, i New Candys sono una band con Dario Lucchesi unico altro membro permamente sin dagli inizi.Caratterizzati da un rock oscuro e da una devozione alla melodia, i New Candys sono una delle realtà italiane più importanti degli ultimi anni. La loro città natale, Venezia, è presente in modo sottile grazie ad un'estetica mirata, curata negli artwork dei loro quattro album realizzati da Nuti stesso.
Con molti tour internazionali alle spalle, sono arrivati a suonare in tutta Europa, UK, Stati Uniti, Canada, Messico ed Australia. I festival più importanti a cui hanno partecipato includono il SXSW, Treefort Fest e Psycho Las Vegas nel 2022, Levitation France e Desert Stars a Joshua Tree nel 2019 e Sydney e Melbourne Psych Fest da headliner nel 2018, nello stesso anno han registrato una session per la radio KEXP. Hanno aperto i concerti ad artisti come The Brian Jonestown Massacre e The Dandy Warhols in tutta Europa, arrivando a suonare alla Roundhouse di Londra e all'Olympia di Parigi. Iggy Pop li ha definiti "kinky" e Gordon Raphael, storico produttore dei The Strokes, ha speso parole di stima per la band. Alcune delle loro canzoni sono presenti in episodi della serie TV "Shameless".Il loro ultimo album "Vyvyd", uscito nel 2021, è stato mixato da Tommaso Colliva (Calibro 35, Jesus And Mary Chain, Damon Albarn), produttore vincitore di un Grammy Award. L'attuale formazione include Emanuele Zanardo alla chitarra e cori, Marco Contestabile al basso e Francesco Giacomin alla batteria e sampler.

PRESS QUOTE

“Zyko, l'ultimo, martellante singolo dei New Candys prima dell'album è un ossessivo delirio stoner, trainato da un basso gloriosamente martoriato”
RockIt"Vessilliferi di una psichedelia brumosa, dilatata e shoegaze"
Rumore“Una delle realtà più internazionali che esistano in Italia”
Rolling Stone"In un tripudio di psych e wave, i New Candys dimostrano di aver raggiunto la piena maturità compositiva"
Ondarock“Lo stile è pulsante e chitarristico, a metà strada tra BRMC e Black Angels”
Rockerilla“Uno dei dischi più esaltanti che ci sia capitato di ascoltate negli ultimi tempi”
Il Mucchio“Difficile pensare a una band musicalmente più in forma in Italia in questo momento”
Rockit“Rumore puro, rumore ottimo, rock’n’roll che sgorga limpido dalla sorgente dei classici”
Il Corriere della Sera
