Candy Hearts were a New Jersey based pop punk band formed at the tail end of the 00’s and fronted by singer-songwriter Mariel Loveland. Best described as empathetic tragedies channeled through '90s alternative-soaked pop-rock, Candy Hearts did downtrodden and heavily introspective sentiments with bubbly, hook-filled inclinations like no other.
Their sophomore LP 'All The Ways You Let Me Down' was produced by Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory) and ranked by Billboard as one of the best pop albums of 2014.
Although they toured with pop punk heavyweights like Set It Off, Real Friends and The Story So Far as well as some stints on Vans Warped Tour, Candy Hearts have always aimed for ‘ Taylor Swift meets the Breeders’.
‘You Could Be Anyone’ is a collection of B-sides and rarities from 2010-2016, marking the 10 year anniversary of ‘All The Ways You Let Me Down’. Mastered By Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden, ‘You Could Be Anyone’ is limited to 100 cassettes in purple tint. Candy Hearts will be reuniting to mark the anniversary at Fest in Gainesville this October. Although a decade has passed the message is still as clear and honest as possible to both fans and themselves. "I've always wanted this band to be completely true to ourselves," Loveland says, "That's just what our band has always been about."
