Rock Regeneration

Comprising of brothers (vocalist/guitarist Rob Latimer and lead guitarist Dan Latimer, bassist Sam Baines, drums Alex Bonsor and keyboards Max Fisher CANDID are an indie rock/pop outfit that originate from Coventry.

Recently signed to Marquee Records, (part of the World famous London music venue) in February 2023, with worldwide song distribution by Right Track/Universal Music Operations the five-piece continue to make a striking impression in both their recording evolution and impeccable live performances.

With frequent sonic comparisons to bands such as Stereophonics, The Academic and The Amazons and sporting an ever-growing fanbase front man Robert Latimer delivers a fireball of energy, passion and emotion that comes translated in a myriad of different melodies and riffs that are intended to hit you hard. But be warned he targets your heart, your personal feelings and your emotions, and makes his powerful emotive messages and the band’s reverberating sound resonate deep inside you.

Backed by exceptional musicians in Dan, Sam, Alex and Max the band has amassed an impressive stream of support slots such as The Snuts, Tom Clarke (The Enemy) and The Fratellis, plus receiving great reception and acclaim with performances at The Isle of Wight Festival, BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and YNOT? Festival.

The entire band are fiercely proud of their Coventry roots but brothers Rob and Dan also boast ‘Scouse’ DNA, having family roots there. Hence the reason for spending so much time in Liverpool and recording at Coastal Sound Recording Studios (Formally related to what was Parr Street Recording Studios) In the City with producer Richard Turvey (Blossoms).

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the World the band were not deterred by the situation, they used the time wisely to refine their sonic fingerprint, joining forces with Richard, to create their now seminal signature sound in which Rob says ”Rich is an exceptional producer and has enhanced our last three releases hugely, equally the same with our latest one “Tonight” which is to be released on 24th February 2023. He helped point the way and to a man we are all grateful to him. Now backed by a support team of music industry heavyweights CANDID have ambitions to export their sound across the UK and beyond in 2023/24. The band are performing a free show at 60 Million Postcards in Bournemouth on the 20th April with support from local indie band Happy Cry.
