Cassia

Cassia absorb a vast array of influences; from the lyrics of Talking Heads, to the rhythm of Afrobeat masters Fela Kuti , Ebo Taylor and Tony Allen , to a ska playlist curated by Rob’s uncle. The result is a joyful, instantly danceable indie pop, reminiscent of Vampire Weekend and early Foals. The Northern trio have built a cult following in the last few years, playing countless headline shows to sold out crowds across the UK and Europe. With just a handful of tracks released so far, the band have already amassed a staggering 3 million Spotify streams based purely on word of mouth and a stellar reputation across the live circuit, garnering early support from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Greg James.
