Frankie and the Witch Fingers Unveil Electrifying New Single “i-Candy” and Prepare for Headline Tour
Get ready to dive into the wild and unpredictable world of Frankie and the Witch Fingers, who just dropped their latest single, “i-Candy.” This double AA side track premiered on KEXP’s The Midday Show, and it’s a fierce follow-up to their gritty, hard-hitting single, “Bonehead.” The new release is a taste of the sonic adventure they’re cooking up, blending synth grooves, relentless guitar riffs, and a storyline that could easily be plucked from a sci-fi thriller.
A Synth-Punk Story with a Twist
“I-Candy” kicks off with a pulsating synth groove, quickly building into a relentless, riff-heavy storm that’s all about turning the tables. The track introduces us to its titular character, a female robot on a mission—she’s not here to fulfill anyone’s fantasies; she’s here to settle scores. As the band explains, “Bleeps and bloops tightly wound around a precise dystopian punk nodder, these were the magic digits we needed to punch in to bring ‘i-Candy’ to life.” It’s a sonic punch straight to the gut, with a story that’s as rebellious as the band’s sound.
And it’s not just about the beats. Frankie and the Witch Fingers channel their raw energy into this track, capturing the essence of a robot’s vengeance against a backdrop of dystopian noise. “i-Candy” is out to clean up the streets, and it’s bringing the heat.

Last month, the band’s single “Bonehead” made waves as Consequence’s Heavy Song of the Week, with critics praising the track’s gritty, fast-paced energy. Described as “The Cramps-y riffs sped up and played with grit,” “Bonehead” set the stage for the unapologetic sound that defines Frankie and the Witch Fingers’ upcoming releases. Together, “i-Candy” and “Bonehead” are the perfect teaser for what’s coming next, and fans are eagerly waiting for more news on the band’s next chapter.
