IGGY CONFIDENTIAL - BBC RADIO  : « Hey you heard Blast Candy out of France . Yes they’re ready to stir up some shit . It’s « too bad it’s a girl » and there’s a great and highly watchable video for this (…) anyway the whole video is bitching , you could check it out ».

 

ROCK AND FOLK No 641 Janv 21, Chronique Qualité France : « BLAST CANDY causes a stir with a first blasting album (…) Led by an explosive singer, the quartet défend a Punk and noisy sound and if most of the tracks have frenetics rythmes and in English as the feminist anthem « Too Bad Its a girl », the most provocative « Suis une pute » has a peaceful atmosphere in French and highlights a spoken word and a text that digne of Brigitte Fontaine ».

 

ROCK AND FOLK No. 683 JULY 24, "Quality France" Review - Hervé Moisan:

"BLAST CANDY was an electrifying Riot Girl. Four years later, the singer remains resolutely feminist with "Briser le Silence" (Break the Silence) and is still committed, particularly in her denunciation of police violence. (...) Victimology. A long, merciless diatribe..."

 

FRANCOFANS 108: "It starts with a heavily compressed bass, like a suppository (...) then unfolds in a stripped-down atmosphere, the drums right in the middle, and the rest dancing around it in a cloud of vintage and industrial-style saturation (...)"

 

LONGUEUR D’ONDES (WAVEWAVE) - D. Grandfils: "The first album made a strong impression with its Riot Punk sound, as did its singer, Mira Victoria. (...) The band confirms its qualities." (...)We will remember the energy and the discovery of these tracks which give a furious desire to discover BLAST CANDY live.

 

RADIO NOVA LYON- MATHIEU GIROD : « This week Mathieu Girod dosent give a shit: changing his edito he enlight punk music. A feminist queer and modern Punk :Blast Candy’s punk. (…) A sharp first album between The Stooges, noise rock and spoken word. »

 

FROGGY’S DELIGHT -DAVID DRX : « ( …) Listening we can think of The Stooges with a feminine Iggy (…). Powerful in the music and in the politic discourse . (…) The Revolutionary spirit of the Feminist's Punk from the 90’s movement is still legit in 2020. BLAST CANDY is the confirmation. »

 

LA GROSSE RADIO :  « Big feminist anthem is coming with BLAST CANDY »

 

MUZZART - WILL DUM : « Offensive Gang , dynamic and boosting ( …) The themes are sharp and are awaking consciousness. (…) The State takes a big slap. (…) Blast Candy is a big hit and  punch. The woman singer and actress (…) and her henchmen are wrapping an album of the best temper, loud, protester but also nuanced and lucid. »

​

​MUZZART - Will Dum: "Fiery and defiant, BLAST CANDY unleashes its Future drone killer. It features ten tracks that defy the times, rebellious and poetic in their power. They blend together, somewhat, and often convince (...). It grooves, it undulates, Blast Candy can't stay still. (...) No doubt about it, the riot is in full swing. Blast Candy roars, raises its fist, plays loud, and deafens the assholes who regularly poison our lives. (...) In short, the die is cast, we're going through shitty times, and BLAST CANDY denounces everything with abandon, without filters or false words, aided by a barricade of varied compositions that form a well-established and indivisible whole. Which, live, seems to me capable of devastating everything."

 

CONCERT MONKEY- MICHEL PREUMONT : (…) This girl is tough, She spits you on the face with a post punk / Spectral industrial punk. (…) Punk is a weapon (…) Blast Candy is sending you a clear and sharp pamphlet. (…) There is some Brigitte Fontaine in the tonne ( …). BLAST CANDY can hurt you if you dont like punk (…) This first album is a bomb kids  ! »

 

NOUVELLE VAGUE MAG - FRANCK IRLE- 4/5 stars  : « Burning texts and a charismatic front girl (…) Unruly band (…) This first album claims loudly  and strongly a message capable of making you danse or just cry . ( …) Musical fireship (…). Blast Candy réanimant the feminist flame with an unstoppable fervor. »

​

METEO ROCK- CHRIS : « A fearsome album with a real talent are sending us 10 beautiful rocking slaps that are doing good (…) A must have .( …) Tracks to be listantes to in loop ., Exceptionnel …First album (…) Blast Candy is a true Rock Revelation, a sensation a real happiness to discover , we have to count on this young band (…) A true coup de foudre strong enough to be cult ( …) ! Looking forward to see this band on stage. »

​

MONKEY CONCERT - NO PO: "Looking for a strong and original personality? Mirabelle, the rebel, is here with a versatile range, capable of both caresses and bites."

 

SUN BURNS OUT - Benjamin Berton: "French electro-punk may have found a new, more powerful, more radical, and darker voice: Blast Candy. This album is a bombshell that, if it goes further than what we've heard here, could well get into some trouble. The mechanical punk delivered by the band perfectly complements the cold anger/accusatory chants of a singer reminiscent of Lydia Lunch or Pussy Riot. Feminist, ultra-political, revolutionary..."

 

ROCK’N FORCE : « Irreverent, lucid and punchy, Blast Candy lets blow its instinctive energy on its forts album where wildness encounter the groove with a Punk Rock subtlety on 10 furious and committed tracks. Striking and anti assholes, this first opus is delightful. (…) It’s shaking off French Rock with a insolent freshness mixed with every instants expansiveness. Thanks to front woman’s vocal explosiveness and vitriolic texts, Blast Candy seduces and reassure on the idealistic work of the band (…) . »

​

SOUNDING SHIVERS - Mégane Canis: "We're so happy to have stumbled upon this little gem of riot punk. In these truly difficult times for anyone with even a modicum of humanism, this committed and high-quality album is a breath of fresh air. Blast Candy is a band to watch, one that will undoubtedly carve out a place for itself within the activist music scene. Go listen to Future Drone Killer now!"

 

INDIE POP ROCK - Yan Kouton: "His new album is brimming with a frenetic energy that reawakens no wave and post-punk in a cathartic explosion. Blending spoken word, French and English, noise and psychobilly, the album develops an aesthetic that MC5 wouldn't disown. And within this radical rock, we perceive a powerful inventiveness that dynamites compositions as heavy as lead, yet paradoxically full of an irresistible groove."

 

WALLABIRZINE : « Furious rock with Clash Sandinist’s light, possessed by the Nick Cave’s literary darkness, Lydia Lunch’s facetious ways, Nina Hagen’s boldness, Little Rabbits’s looseness,Blondie’s alcaline pop with always a tough noise. This opus is twisted and gimp wildly rack, insidiously punk, anarchic »

 

RADIO M  ALBUM DE LA SEMAINE : « (…) Sharp texts, very rich compositions, Blast Candy led by Mira Vicky B ’s accuracy and strength is a heart’s scream about the Riot Punk tough reality. ​​
