Alt-pop band The Unlikely Candidates will be in Chicago on April 7th at Schubas for their Strange Lines co-headline tour with The Brevet. The five piece will be performing tracks like “Oh My Dear Lord”, “Bells”, “Strange Love”, and “Best I Ever Had”, off of their forthcoming full-length out this fall. The band has brought their high energy live to cities all across the US, sharing the stage with artists like Sublime With Rome, The Offspring, The Dirty Heads and Fall Out Boy.

Flaunting outsider panache and theatrical hooks as oversized as their home state of Texas, The Unlikely Candidates formed at a high school party before going on to release three EPs and log countless miles on the road alongside everyone from Sublime With Rome, The Offspring, the Dirty Heads and Fall Out Boy. Most recently, 2017’s Bed of Liars spawned “Your Love Could Start A War,” which clocked over 4.7 million Spotify streams and charted in the top 40 at Alternative Radio. Along the way, the band has earned acclaim from the likes of The New York Times, AXS, Esquire and more. The quintet — Kyle Morris (vocals), Brent Carney (lead guitar), Cole Male (guitar), Jared Hornbeek (bass) and Kevin Goddard (drums) — kicked off 2018 by releasing a Deluxe Edition of their Danger To Myself  EP, which features the single “Oh My Dear Lord.” More recently, The Unlikely Candidates wrapped up a co-headlining U.S. tour with Brick + Mortar before releasing their new song, “Best I Ever Had.”
