Deal Casino is an indie rock band hailing from the Jersey Shore, known for their unique blend of alternative and experimental sounds. The four-piece band, originally formed in Sparta, New Jersey, consists of members Joe Parella (lead vocals, guitar), Jon Rodney (bass), Jozii Cowell (guitar), and Christopher Donofrio (drums). The band members met in high school and eventually rebranded themselves as Deal Casino in 2013, after previously performing under a different name. Drawing inspiration from the diverse nature of the music scene around Asbury Park, they honed their craft and eventually became one of the area's most promising acts, well-regarded for their energetic live performances and introspective lyricism.

Over the years, Deal Casino has released a stream of singles and EPs, leading up to their self-titled debut album in 2017. They quickly followed up with another LP, "LLC," in 2018, showcasing their growth and versatility as artists. Deal Casino's sound is characterized by introspective songwriting underpinned by an eclectic mix of sonics, capturing the attention of an ever-growing audience. Their most recent releases, including energetically charged tracks like "v2" and "Just A Cow (v2)," as well as the contemplative "Woof." and "Best Year," demonstrate the band's continued evolution. Their willingness to strip things back is evident in acoustic renditions like "bangbangbang / Robin Hood (Acoustic)" and their "4-Track Demos" series. By covering diverse musical territories while maintaining a cohesively edgy aesthetic, Deal Casino continues to carve out their niche in the indie music scene.
