The Unlikely Candidates formed in 2008 in Fort Worth, TX with their lead vocalist Kyle Morris, lead guitarist Brenton Carney, guitarist Cole Male, drummer Kevin Goddard, and bassist Jared Hornbeek. They united in high school and broke away from the usual music scene in Texas and pursued their own alternative style. Their debut EP Follow My Feet was released in 2013, and they've since released two more EPs. In 2019 they released their most recent single, "Novacaine". They have played with acts like Young the Giant, The Dirty Heads, Fall Out Boy, and Brick & Morter.
