As Pretty Sparkly Things lights up playlists and dance floors, it also sparks a bigger conversation: what do we value, and what are we willing to overlook in the pursuit of luxury? Energy Whores are not content to let listeners escape into the beat—they want you to confront those questions, even as you move your body to the rhythm. That is the mark of a band who knows their art has power.

Candy Overload

Candy808 is a Japanese female duo blending kawaii culture and glitchcore EDM into a pastel storm of bass and fun. Formed by two young DJs from Tokyo, the project fuses anime-inspired vocals, bouncing 808s, and hyper-digital textures that turn internet aesthetics into explosive live energy.
Their sound is both playful and futuristic, bubblegum melodies wrapped around glitchy basslines, with lyrics full of UwU, OwO, and digital heartbreak. On stage, Candy808 transform every set into a colorful anime rave, with candy mascots, neon sparkles, and festival chaos.
With their second album Glitchcore Dreams, Candy808 push kawaii EDM to its brightest and most chaotic form, proving that cuteness can be as powerful as any bass drop.

Taking inspiration from the classic protest music of Bob Dylan and the edgier work of Rage Against the Machine, Energy Whores has been referred to by press as "an electro-punk-pop band whose hypnotic beat isn't enough to distract from their lyrics' acidity" (Rock Cabeca). Conceived by singer/songwriter Carrie Schoenfeld and guitarist Attilo Valenti, the duo has combined their talents to shine a light on the alarming realities of many Americans as political tensions continue to grow. Previous releases have been featured in the likes of Vents Magazine, Earmilk, Lost in the Manor, EDM Rekords, Illustrate Magazine, Plastic Mag, Eat This Rock, and Dope Cause We Said So. Not only does Energy Whores push boundaries with their lyricism, their experimental sound is entirely unique. Described by Indie Rock as "avant-garde art rock," their genre is difficult to pin down. Elements of electro-indie, pop, disco, rock, and 80s synth pepper their tracks. Pedal steel in "Freedom Fadeaway”, released on February 27 even brings a touch of country into the mix. They describe their music as, "designed to be meaningful while also pushing [the listener] to dance." The juxtaposition between a dance-worthy melody and brutally honest storytelling not only forces the listener to think, but may just make them question what they can do to add their own voice to this movement.
