Candy Coated Fury is the eighth studio album from Reel Big Fish released on July 31, 2012. The cover art was made by artist Thom Foolery. The album was recorded at the band's personal studio in Orange, California.

The album features guest vocals from Coolie Ranx, Brian Klemm, Julie Stoyer, and members of Sonic Boom Six.[2] Aaron Barrett said that when writing the album, he was "very conscious this time about how danceable the songs were and how they make you move when you listen to them. It had been a long time since I really thought about the danceability of our songs."[3]

On June 6, 2012, the band released a teaser video for the album.[4] On June 12, 2012, the band released the song "I Know You Too Well To Like You Anymore" on their YouTube channel days after the song premiered on the Ska Parade radio show on KUKQ. The album was released July 31, 2012, and was sold in a limited quantity at several venues on the Summer of Ska Tour 2012. The album debuted at No. 80 on the Billboard 200.
