Candy Riot is a synth-rock band based in Austin, Texas.   Holly Holt, Philip Moody and Bobby Cheatham blend synths, guitars, drum machines and ethereal vocals to create 80's nostalgic dance rock music.  The band credits Depeche Mode, David Bowie & Talking Heads as primary influences.   Their first album 'Moonstar' released on August 2022, and their 2nd LP 'Nico Loretto' released in February 2024. We sound like the beautiful future.

This is the podcast (SPF 1000) VAMPIRE SUNSCREEN, by Laurie Gallardo. After so much struggle and inner turmoil, the journey is only beginning.

(SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen is the creation of Austin, TX-based producer Laurie Gallardo - radio show host, voice actor and film actor  who has taken it upon herself to dive headfirst into darker realms. Really, that's nothing new for Gallardo, a longtime classic horror fan, brooding beast and "murderino" before that even had a name. Thanks to the lovely badasses of My Favorite Murder, Gallardo is able to better explain the fascination of such morbid subject matter.

When there is time (becoming more rare nowadays with her work at public radio station KUTX 98.9), Gallardo invites guests for a conversation about a subject that could very well prove morbid, or frightening, or heartbreaking...or all of the above and more. There is only one question: What is the darkness to you? The answers have been fascinating and enlightening. You can listen to episodes of (SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen here on SoundCloud for the time being. Please share the link on your social media.
