"Bringing together their distinct musical backgrounds, Mackeeper offers listeners a nostalgic yet innovative take on storytelling through their five-track debut. With Rock Candy, Miles and Nick invite us to reevaluate childhood memories from the vantage point of adulthood, reflecting, "Growing up is a choice, but a good one.""
"Growing up with a significant age gap, the brothers experienced their formative years in parallel yet divergent ways; Miles was captivating audiences as the frontman of rock bands, while Nick was honing his craft as a DJ and emerging visual director. Their reunion signifies a powerful reconnection, not just with each other but with their shared yet unique histories."
"With Rock Candy, the duo delivers a captivating mix of rock energy, irresistible pop hooks, and playful, sample-driven production that defines their fresh sound. It's a debut that promises to resonate with fans long after the last note fades."
