Description
For Cassels, music is about authenticity. The work of two brothers, Loz and Jim Beck, they have been playing music together since long before their voices broke, and all that practise has paid off-direct and considered lyrically, musically challenging, and in possession of an originality you could never force. Together they embody the spirit of punk, even if their sound stretches the boundaries of any genre. It's rare to find a band who sound only like themselves-especially one with just two instruments-but Cassels are just that.

"I'm hoping cynicism will pass as lyricism," Jim Beck, the driving force behind the sibling duo, spits on previous single 'The Weight', featured by NME, Dork, DIY, Upset, Gold Flake Paint, and a highlight of their "pre-album", 'Foreword', which received a 5K review in Kerrang! Magazine.But in his mind, cynicism is realism. It underpins what Cassels stand for. Their noisy, edgy and sometimes deliberately jarring sound balances apathy with anger, and through it channels a generational voice. Cassels are antagonistic and brash, but more importantly, they challenge the norm, both musically and lyrically. Their debut album, Epithet, was released in October 2017, and featured the production work of Rocky Reilly (And So I Watch You From Afar, Adebisi Shank) who captured all the intricacies of the two piece in their biggest sound yet. Following this release the band embarked on UK tours with Single Mothers, Meat Wave and Youth Man, and a two week European stint with Gender Roles. Over the past couple of years they've also played shows with bands including Idles, Car Seat Headrest, Ho99o9, Eagulls, Bo Ningen and Slaves, as well as festivals including Truck, Y Not, ArcTanGent, 2,000 Trees and T In The Park.The Perfect Ending , their second record, is out September 6th.
