Cassette Days Q&A

Your name:

James.

Where are you from?

Alcester, Warwickshire.

Name of band:

Cassette Days.

Who else is in your band?

Christian plays guitar and sings, Dave's our guitarist turned bassist and Cyrielle smashes the skins.

How would you describe yourselves?

Indie/rock quartet by night, responsible 9-5ers by day. 

Who are your main influences musically?

Oasis, The Jam, The Libertines and Ocean Colour Scene are my greatest influences. I'm loving Swim Deep at the moment, they've got a really nice sound. 

What do you hope to achieve in music?

It's hard at the moment for guitar bands like us to break in to the industry but we'd really like for our style of music to be popular again and back in the charts. And we'd love to get signed one day. I think we all want that. 

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?

Writing a song about a former colleague. It's all about his incompetence but the music's really uplifting. He was rubbish at the job though. 

And what’s the moment you want to forget?

Writing a song about a former colleague - I'm not sure how happy he'd be if he heard the lyrics! 

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?

Lost along the Way - it's carefree and catchy (just like the video).

Where can we listen to it?
