Six friends play in an underground rock band named
Eye Candy. They are transferred to an elite, high-class high school
when their own school shuts down due to budget cuts, and friction
arises between the poor new kids and the rich snobs at the school.
Tragedy strikes when one of their group dies unexpectedly, and they
have to decide if they want to compete and play without him. The
friends choose to pursue the chance to play, wanting the world to
hear their deceased friend's song. Will they be successful, or is
their band – and their friendship - doomed to break up?
*I
LOVED the two songs the band creates, but the
sudden death shortly into the show took all the lightheartedness out
of it. The show also dragged in the second half, and the female
characters were very boring. It probably made the show more realistic
overall, but I prefer definite happy endings where everyone stays
together. They do remain friends, but they all end up doing their own
thing. I probably wouldn't
watch this
again.*
BONUS: For your reference, the songs from this show that I liked are "Jaywalking" and "Wake Up" by Eye Candy :)
