The Candy Snatchers' Swansong Hitting Stores Next Week

The Candy Snatchers will release their third and final full-length album, Down At Delilah's, next Tuesday (June 15th) on Drug Front Records. Available in CD, digital, and hand-numbered limited edition picture disc, Down at Delilah's features 14 snotty, alcohol-fueled tracks of bluesy punk rock. Recorded in 2008 and helmed by longtime producer, Dean Rispler, the album is the last recording by guitarist and band co-founder Matthew Odietus, who passed away shortly after it was completed. Once known as "The Most Dangerous Band In The World," the long-running punk troubadours were famous for their reckless abandon. Live, the band was often busy cutting themselves with broken bottles and lighting their instruments on fire. Yet somehow, they still managed to play amazingly well, garnering comparisons to punk rock greats like The Dead Boys, GG Allin, and The Misfits. Eric Davidson, singer/songwriter for the New Bomb Turks, recently profiled the band in his new book We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001 (Backbeat Books). The book chronicles some of the most influential punk bands of the era, and Davidson calls Candy Snatchers frontman Larry May, "one of the most active songwriters and underrated lyricists of the last 20 years."
