Our boys in Cassels have come a long way in the past few years, so we’re pleased to bring you Foreword – a compilation which gives you a glimpse of their musical journey to date. Featuring a collection of new and early material, it’s all now packaged up on vinyl for the first time, so something for old and new fans alike! Cassels are a two piece comprised of two brothers – Jim (vox/guitar) and Loz (drums/vox) Beck. Originally from the self-described ‘cul-de-sac’ town of Chipping Norton, the brothers spent their youth turning their frustration and boredom into music. After years of making as much noise as they pleased in their remote countryside bedroom, Cassels emerged onto the scene with a sound which is both unique and hard-hitting; combining dense and poetic lyricism with pared-back, heavy and skilful instrumentation. Dealing in themes which range from the overtly sociopolitical to the deeply personal, the band are never afraid to express their opinions in their songs. This sincere, heart-on-the sleeve approach has picked them up praise and coverage from the likes of NME, BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and Channel 4, as well as Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood. As Punktastic puts it, ‘there’s little emerging from the British underground that comes close to mirroring Cassels’ style.
