Unmanufactured and real, writing songs that tell stories, that live lives; songs that actually mean something instead of the vacuous sap that drips out of reality trees around the world. Dreaming as if they’re going to live forever, living as if they’re going to die today, dancing like non-one’s watching...
Britan has indeed got talent! Welcome to i:Candy world created by Ashli, Dan, Jack, and Oli. Entrance is free, and the entertainment sparkling. Pull up a seat, play the music, and enjoy the ride. It’s a fast one – can you take the pace?

"i:Candy claim to be "ready to reclaim the word pop back from the reality world that stole it" which - alongside that cheeky-but-quite-clever name - is a pretty good manifesto to start with. They play enthusiastic energetic power-pop that's a bit punky, a bit glam, a bit indie, and with a delightful f-off-silly-boys slant courtesy of mouthy singer Ashli. She's like a 21st century alcopopped-up descendant of the likes of Fay Fife from the Rezillos; all pop fun without shop mannequin airbrushing whilst the lads provide a rock-solid backdrop. I'm not sure if my favourite's "Not My Boyfriend" ("...you're just a one-night snog") or the one about boys who really can't dance.
The critics might salivate over Girls Aloud in some desperate attempt to show their pop credentials in these "uncool is the new cool" times, but this is the real thing."
