Seattle-based multi-platinum rock band, Candlebox, have released “All Down Hill From Here”, a new single from their upcoming album, Wolves.

Vocalist Kevin Martin co-wrote the song with Christopher Thorne of Blind Melon. The inspiration behind the song came from the two long-time friends musing on the fleeting nature of fame.

Martin says, “It can be challenging to be an artist who has enjoyed great success, and then down the line, still has great fans, but never really achieves that great success again. A lot of our friends in bands are in that position now. It’s a story I think a lot of people can relate to, not only musicians. Like the boxer who's on his last legs, he still has an opportunity. You really can’t count anyone out.”

Wolves is the follow-up to the 2016 album, Disappearing In Airports, which had a fresh modernity, a vibe that is amplified and broadened on Wolves.

Kevin Martin says, “It comes from where we are as humans right now, and what we’ve become. Yes, there's beauty in these wolves, but there's the pack mentality, and that lone wolf mentality on the other side.”

Candlebox will release Wolves on September 17 via Pavement Entertainment. The album will be available on all formats (CD, vinyl, and through digital outlets). Pre-save Wolves here.
