About RCM

MUSIC + FASHION + PASSION. ON THE ROCKS.

You express yourself in a million ways– through music, fashion, photography, design, art…  Your passions. Rock Candy Music is a lifestyle blog that celebrates all forms of creative, personal expression– specifically style and music, and the (blissfully happy) marriage between the two. Music and style go hand in hand. Our personal styles sometimes reflect our tastes in music, and vice versa. Exhibit A: Indie musicians and fans favor a certain style (we won’t make any broad generalizations here, but you know who you are, skinny jean wearers), while hard rock fans have a completely different style altogether (does your tee-shirt ever get snagged on your eyebrow ring?). Musicians are some of our favorite fashion icons, and we use style to express ourselves the same way our idols do. Rock Candy Music wants to explore that reflection by taking a peek at some of our favorite music makers and showcasing their personal and musical styles. We’ll post interviews, photos, creative fashion ideas, artwork, music videos, and more from artists, producers, stylists, guest bloggers, and innovators, both in the spotlight and completely unknown.

And we’ll serve it all on the rocks.

The Blog

At Rock Candy Music, we understand that you have a short attention span. So, we’ll try to keep the blog updated regularly with fresh content. Our goal is to create fun, fresh and inspiring reads relating to music, style, art, design, and expression. These are some of RCM’s popular weekly and monthly columns:

Every Tuesday, Rock Candy Music will showcase some of our favorite new recording artists, either well on their way to the top or just on the first rung of the ladder. We’ll point out what makes their sound unique, in our own unique way. Got a great new band for us to feature in Flavor of the Week? Suggest them to us here.

Every Sunday, we’ll show you some of the fashion and music trends we’ve been noticing, ones that we love, and others that we might not love so much. If you’d like to suggest a trend for us to feature in TrendSpotter, leave us a comment here.

Every Thursday, we’ll feature a band (or icon!) from the history books. Except you’d be more likely to find these faces in your record collection rather than your iPod.

RCM will feature a personal interview with a recording artist once a month and ask them about their musical and personal tastes, and how they correlate. They’ll talk about what characterizes their music, their favorite stores or designers, and much more. Suggest an artist for us to interview here.

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. Ask us anything! Well, maybe not anything, (no, we don’t know where you should invest your stocks) but we’ll do our best to answer, and you may find your questions featured in our Rock Candy Answers post. Send your questions here!

In our Sweet Venue posts, we’ll showcase a music venue and give you an inside V.I.P. look at the places where your favorite artists perform. We’ll feature photos, interviews with venue directors, and talk about the kinds of acts that have performed there. To get your venue featured on Sweet Venues, visit our contact page.
