Candle Records is an independent record label based in Melbourne, Australia. The label was founded in September 1994 by The Simpletons and Chris Crouch to release records. The label was unique in that it concentrated only on local bands with an "emphasis on strong lyrics and a wistful, often humorous Australian feel" and was run more like a co-op than a corporation. Bands on the label would help each other, promoting the label and CD releases, as well as doing shows together.

  • Candle Records is an independent record label based in Melbourne, Australia. The label was founded in September 1994 by The Simpletons and Chris Crouch to release records. The label was unique in that it concentrated only on local bands with an "emphasis on strong lyrics and a wistful, often humorous Australian feel" and was run more like a co-op than a corporation. Bands on the label would help each other, promoting the label and CD releases, as well as doing shows together. Candle went on to have over 100 releases. They took over independent record shop, PolyEster Records, on Melbourne's Brunswick Street and opened a Sydney office ran by Danielle Atkinson. Chris decided to close the label down on March 31 2007, citing "time for a change". Just before closing down the record label, Candle put on a big farewell show that toured the east coast of Australia. Starting in Brisbane, and then moving to Sydney and finally Melbourne, the all star show consisted of sets by regular Candle family members The Lucksmiths, Darren Hanlon, Anthony Atkinson and the Running Mates, The Girls From The Clouds, Mid-State Orange and The Small Knives. The Sydney gig, and the first of the two Melbourne shows, notably ended with an all-star cast performing a "moving" encore of Michael Jackson's "We Are The World".
