Description

The story goes that John Wozniak got busy in a college dorm room w his girlfriend at the time, after which, the roommate walked in and proclaimed, it smells like sex and candy in here! A hit song was born out of the incident, and Sex And Candy, off of Marcy Playground s 1997 self-titled debut, is perhaps the NYC alt rock band s one-and-only claim to fame. One-hit wonders without a doubt, but you d be remiss NOT to check out the entire album. Start with follow-up singles Saint Joe on the School Bus and Sherry Fraser, then move on to Ancient Walls Of Flowers and Poppies. It s quirky (what is disco lemonade ???) and dark pop w hints of folk influences thrown in, a fine slice of 90s alt rock that s sure to bring back memories, the good ones and the bad.
