The Long Goodbye

After thirty years, Seattle alt-rock band Candlebox is saying farewell with one last album and tour. Frontman Kevin Martin is the only band member remaining from the original lineup that broke through with the multi-platinum eponymous debut in 1993. In the thirty years since, Martin has seen the band win over fans with singles that were mainstays on MTV and alternative radio. He's also seen the band dismissed as pretenders riding the coattails of the Seattle grunge bands that came before them. Though that criticism was never fair, at that time, many held disdain for any bands with a "Seattle sound" that weren't part of that local club scene in the mid-80s.
