About The Unlikely Candidates

Based out of Fort Worth, Texas, the Unlikely Candidates are an indie rock band initially formed as an acoustic duo by childhood friends Kyle Morris and Cole Male in 2008. Eventually expanding the lineup to include guitarist Brenton Carney, bassist Jared Hornbeek, and drummer Josh Montez, the band was also able to expand its sound in bigger, more sweeping directions. In 2013, the band signed on with major-label Atlantic and released their debut EP, Follow My Feet. In early 2016, the Unlikely Candidates returned with a hooky new single in "You Love Could Start a War," which made a strong showing on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. ~ Gregory Heaney

I think the mixing could have been better. It was like 80% drum, with the vocals mostly washed out. Otherwise a great performance with a lot of energy!

They never cease to amaze. Fifth time this year alone. Their new album is the best. Meow Wolf was an amazing venue. Can't wait to see them again.
