Ruby Nixxons leans into destruction in their hard-hitting rock bop, “Midnight Candy.” With commanding guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and driving drums, this single grabs you from the first note and doesn’t let go.
Recorded at Waterfront Studios in Falkirk, Scotland, the song starts with heavy guitar riffs by Steve Mosley that slowly build into a blistering sound storm over thumping, hard-hitting drums pounding down a storm of pellets on the ground. Lead vocalist Dan Briody’s thick, deep voice adds an extra layer of intensity as he sings about his lover, his “midnight candy,” who indulges in hedonistic behaviors like drinking and spending recklessly. Despite the turmoil she brings into his life, an undeniable attraction keeps him coming back for more.
Throughout “Midnight Candy,” Briody’s passionate vocals convey a sense of urgency and longing, perfectly capturing the tumultuous emotions of a love that’s both exhilarating and destructive. The chorus, with its catchy melody and raw lyrics, drives home the conflicted feelings of the narrator as he grapples with his emotions.
But it’s not just the vocals that shine on “Midnight Candy”—Steve Mosley’s guitar solo. The prolonged guitar solo ends the song wild with heavy and roaring riffs, showcasing Mosley’s insane skill level. The solo turns and slithers, sleek and thin as they bend with an exotic, seductive, suspenseful allure. It perfectly encapsulates the intoxicating attraction of the narrator’s midnight candy.
With around 30 gigs under their belt and more on the horizon, Ruby Nixxons is a band on the rise. So crank up the volume and get ready to rock out to Ruby Nixxons’ latest hit.
