The Unlikely Candidates

Career

After uniting in high school, the band immediately separated themselves from the typical musical traditions associated with Texas, and turned up with an alternative style of their own. In 2013, they released their debut EP Follow My Feet, and since then have released two more extended plays Bed of Liars in 2017, and Danger to Myself in 2017. The band has logged countless miles on the road alongside acts such as Young The Giant, The Dirty Heads, Fall Out Boy, and Brick & Morter.
Their hit single "Oh My Dear Lord" released in 2017 has over 13 million worldwide streams, and "Your Love Could Start a War" released in 2017 has over 15 million worldwide streams. In 2019, they released the single and video for "Novocaine", which quickly gained popularity.
On March 29, 2020, the band released a new single titled "High Low". Frontman Kyle Morris said the song "is about isolation, loneliness and longing for human connection".
