Cast was formed in Liverpool in 1992 by John Power after he left The La’s.
Emerging from the Britpop movement of the mid-1990s, Cast signed to Polydor Records, and their debut album All Change (1995) became the label’s highest-selling debut.
Further commercial success continued with the albums Mother Nature Calls (1997) and Magic Hour (1999).
A shift in sound and musical direction on the band’s fourth album, Beetroot (2001), was met with poor critical and commercial reception and contributed to the band’s split two weeks after its release.
They reunited in 2010 and released further studio albums, including Love Is The Call , which made the Top 25.
