Candlebox is a Rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in November 1990, the band originally went by the name Uncle Duke; they later changed their name purportedly as a tribute to a Midnight Oil song of the same name. Candlebox were occasionally looked down upon by elitist members of the Grunge movement; they criticized Candlebox's style and image as being derivative of Grunge. One of these early detractors was Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.[1] However, these detractors' assumptions were untrue; Candlebox were a no-frills Rock & Roll band.
