Candy Hearts Change Name to Best Ex; Release New Song "Girlfriend"

Candy Hearts have announced today (May 5) they have changed their name to Best Ex along with news of their first new release in three years.

The band will release a new EP titled Ice Cream Anti Social this summer and have given us a first taste with "Girlfriend," that stays true to Candy Hearts' signature bubblegum pop-rock style.


Along with the announcement of the name change, EP and new song, Best Ex will be hitting the road this summer alongside Promise of Redemption (featuring Valencia’s Shane Henderson), Baggage, June Divided, Kozi and others to be announced. Aside from Loveland, Best Ex’s lineup will feature “a rotating cast of friends most often including Matt Ferraro, John Clifford and Bobby Vaughn.”
