The Raveonettes release their new party banger 'You Want The Candy' which is The Raveonettes by numbers. It couldn't be anyone at all except The Raveonettes.

Monotonous drum beat...check
Mary Chain fuzz.. check
Repetitive chorus... check
50's leather biker vibe... check
Obsession with Ronettes... check

Decent single though. It's something to do with sweets or drugs. I don't know which like and I couldn't give a crack. Or sniff one.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

** THE RAVEONETTES continue to consist of Sune Rose Wagner (guitar/vocals) and Sharin Foo (guitar/vocals), and are still so supercool that while both of them were born and bred in Denmark, Sune now lives in New York while Sharin has been moving to LA.

** 'You Want The Candy' is the second single to be taken from the duo's third album, the breathlessly titled 'Lust Lust Lust' which came out on fierce panda last November to a veritable hailstorm of critical appreciation. If lead-off single 'Dead Sound' caught the band in shadowy mood, carefully marking their return to the fray for the first time since leaving Sony, then 'You Want The Candy' sees the swoonsome twosome really put their foot down and head for the heart of the song. Think bubblegum thrills. Think jagged indie pills. Think the Marychain sawing The Primitives' alterno dancefloor smash 'Crash' in half. If that feels good you'll definitely want 'You Want The Candy'. Not arf.
