Based in Fort Worth, The Unlikely Candidates, an alternative rock band, was initially formed as an acoustic duo by childhood friends Kyle Morris and Cole Male, then expanded to include guitarist Brenton Carney, bassist Jared Hornbeek and drummer Kevin Goddard. Building from strength to strength, The Unlikely Candidates crashed alternative rock radio with two infectious singles, “Your Love Could Start a War” and “Ringer,” which became part of the format’s Top 40. The band has been covered in The New York Times, Esquire and by Perez Hilton and has toured with St. Lucia, Nothing But Thieves, Weathers, and The Moth & The Flame. They have performed at major music festivals, including Bonnaroo, Firefly, Riot Fest and SXSW. Most recently, The Unlikely Candidates were selected as part of Taco Bell’s Feed the Beat program. Their most recent recording is Danger to Myself, which debuted last year.
