Candy formed between Richmond, Virginia and Buffalo, New York in 2016, drawing members from bands including Malfunction and Backtrack. Their debut LP Good to Feel (2018) established their uncompromising blend of ferocious hardcore, noise rock, and extreme metal, and they have continued to refine that sound on Heaven Is Here (2022) and It's Inside You (2024). The band draws from Integrity, Japanese burning spirit hardcore, and multiple schools of extreme metal.
CAPRA formed in Lafayette, Louisiana in 2016, founded by guitarist Tyler Harper and drummer Jeremy Randazzo with the aim of recapturing the intensity of late-1990s and early-2000s hardcore. The band signed to Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records and released their debut full-length In Transmission, featuring vocalist Crow Lotus's corrosive delivery over a dense metallic hardcore framework. They have since toured alongside acts including Eyehategod, Killswitch Engage, and KEN Mode.
