Cast - Love is the Call [PINK]

16.2.24 - PINK VINYL LP

As one of the most traditional guitar bands to emerge during the Britpop era of the mid-'90s, Cast carved out a sound that was heavily indebted to the British Invasion of the early '60s, yet infused with a mystical, pseudo-hippie lyrical sensibility, which lead singer John Power expanded upon. What really made Cast into a success was Power's gift for simple, classic pop hooks, as demonstrated on the hit singles Fine Time, Alright and Walkaway. With seven top 10 singles, three top 10 albums and a rich catalogue of timeless songs including Walkway and Alright, Cast were one of the big success stories of the Britpop era.

Power's gift for sparkling melodies and instantly additive hooks remains as strong as ever. He's hinted that new album Love is the Call - released in February 2024 - will feel like a missing link between his time with The La's and Cast's first breakthrough with debut album All Change.
