  2. Razor Candy is a project spawned by Paul Wiley(Marilyn Manson, Deveraux) and Chad Cherry (The Last Vegas). It is a music version of a demented after school special. The project came to light in 1983 on Halloween night when Paul and Chad met in the emergency room in a Chicago hospital. They were both kids then and had both bitten into candy that contained razor blades, many stitches later after that night a bond and friendship was solidified. Since that night they have went to many drive ins, vandalized many neighborhoods, watched many Grindhouse films, and played many records backwards."Artists |Sensory Recordings".
