Candlebox's Kevin Martin on "Far Behind," Peter Klett's Return & New Music | Code Zero Radio
About this episode
Kevin Martin discusses Candlebox's history, new music, and personal experiences in this interview.
Candlebox frontman Kevin Martin talks with Code Zero Radio's Andy McNamara ahead of the band's show at EPIC Event Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Thirty-plus years after their quadruple-platinum self-titled debut, Candlebox is back with original guitarist Peter Klett back in the fold — and new music on the way. In this candid conversation, Kevin opens up about the true story behind "Far Behind" and its connection to Mother Love Bone's Andy Wood, what it was really like getting played on MTV every hour during the Seattle grunge explosion, and the wild Maverick Records marketing stunt that had Candlebox's name on billboards outside Madison Square Garden. He also talks about nearly retiring from music, why Peter Klett coming back reignited his passion for the band, life on the road (PlayStation golf and Spotify roulette included), and what fans can expect from the new songs the band is tracking this August in Palm Springs. Kevin also shares his deep ties to the Midwest — born in Chicago, raised in Seattle — and says he'd love to finally bring Candlebox to Appleton, Wisconsin.
