Cast is a notable British rock band hailing from Liverpool, formed in 1993 by John Power after he left his former band, The La's, aiming to pursue a blend of traditional rock with a more energetic and melodic pop sensibility. The band's initial lineup featured John Power as the frontman and bassist, with Peter Wilkinson on bass, Liam "Skin" Tyson on guitar, and Keith O'Neill on drums. They quickly made a name for themselves with their debut album "All Change," which became the highest-selling debut album in the history of the Polydor label.

The band's success continued as they released a string of popular albums throughout the late '90s, with "Mother Nature Calls" and "Magic Hour" confirming their position as major players in the Britpop scene. Despite a hiatus in the early 2000s, Cast reformed in 2010 with the original lineup to the delight of their dedicated fan base. They released "Troubled Times" in 2012 and have continued to record and tour extensively, releasing albums such as "Kicking Up The Dust" in 2017. The band is celebrated for their energetic live performances and enduring contributions to the British rock scene, with a sound that's filled with infectious hooks and heartfelt lyrics that resonate with a broad audience of music lovers.
