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 highest selling debut album for the label.
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 by a poor critical and commercial reaction and contributed to the band’s split two weeks after its release.
