Cast

Originally formed in 1992 from the ashes of two of the most legendary and lauded Liverpool guitar bands of the time, The La's and Shack, Cast are one of the most traditional guitar bands to emerge during the Brit-pop era of the mid-'90s. They carved out a sound that was heavily indebted to the British Invasion of the early '60s, yet it was infused with a mystical, pseudo-hippie lyrical sensibility.

The reinvigorated Cast continue to produce new material full of the anthemic, melodic and beautifully written songs for which they have always been known for, along with a formidable live reputation. Noel Gallagher described watching the band as "a religious experience."

Swansea rockers living in London chasing their musical dreams! The Guardian and Louder Than War are already heralding them as British rock music's saviours in waiting, while Loaded say they have 'the songs and self-belief that propelled bands like Manic Street Preachers and The Libertines to greatness'.
