Info: KANDCE are an alternative disco-pop band from Dublin. Formed in BIMM, the band is bringing a fresh and energetic take on indie disco, fusing funkier elements into hook filled pop songs to create an arrangement of both atmospheric and hip-shaking tunes.

''78' by Dublin six-piece KANDCE is their second release since forming in late 2016, shortly afterwards they recorded debut single 'Sleepless' feat. Johnny Climax at Westland Studios. The new single certainly shows their has been some well-honed development in their sound this that first foray. ''78' captures the era the song-title suggests very well, from the effective retro-synth and beat and funk-laden bass. Vocally however the delivery is firmly set in contemporary territory, the pre-chorus build-up is where the groove sets in and injects a vibrant disco energy that is most enjoyable. KANDCE do the funk well, and if they build on the gratifying feeling of ''78' they can certainly carve out a solid niche for themselves on the Irish music scene.
