Interview with Kevin Martin from Candlebox
Candlebox shook the Earth when they dropped their seminal self-titled album in 1993. As Maverick Records’ first commercially successful act, the Seattle quintet had a meteoric rise to fame, amazing their fans with super loud, high-energy live shows and hit-filled releases.

Chevy Celebrity. 1983. Not nearly as cool as the vehicle described on “Spacegrass,” my introduction to Clutch back in high school, but it got me around.
