KANDY ROAR (they/them) is an indigenous, Cree, non-binary musician, who is a proud member of Peguis First Nations. They are an advocate for mental health care, drawing on their own experiences for lyrical wisdom. Fusing early 70s glam rock and blues from the Great Depression era, their sound is both unique and nostalgic, with added oddities straight from their subconscious. Their performances are theatrical and energetic, embodying the likes of Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin. Kandy Roar has just released their Creative BC and FACTOR funded debut EP, ‘Demon Blues’, Ft. award winning guitarist Alex Flock. It focuses heavily on their personal struggles with mental health, as well as exploring the idea of a higher power, and the malevolent forces in contrast. With straightforward influence in blues, a need for glam rock and an unhealthy obsession with cults - their music sets them apart from the norm.
