Candlebox is a renowned American rock band that emerged in the early 1990s. With their distinct blend of alternative and post-grunge sound, they quickly rose to prominence and became one of the leading figures in the Seattle music scene. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like *Mother Love Bone* and *Alice In Chains*, Candlebox crafted a unique musical style characterized by powerful vocals, melodic guitar riffs, and introspective lyrics.

Similar to their contemporaries such as *Stone Temple Pilots* and *Soundgarden*, Candlebox's music resonates with listeners on an emotional level. Their heartfelt ballads like "Far Behind" and "You" struck a chord with fans worldwide, earning them widespread acclaim. As pioneers of the grunge movement, Candlebox's influence can be heard in the works of artists like *Soul Asylum* and *Collective Soul*, who were inspired by their raw energy and honest songwriting.

Throughout their career spanning over three decades, Candlebox has consistently delivered powerful performances both in the studio and on stage. Their live shows are known for capturing the essence of their music while showcasing their exceptional musicianship. With numerous hit songs under their belt, including "Cover Me" and "Simple Lessons," Candlebox continues to captivate audiences around the globe with their timeless sound.

Reissues

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
