In the personal series that will give you nothing but inside information on my love for music (and primarily nothing about insurance), I will begin my Top 10 Bands of all time. Of course, because I'm non-committal, I had to toss in an additional name to my list. So, starting today and going for 11 weeks, it's The Top 10 (Plus 1) Countdown. Today, band 10B: Cassino.
Starting from the roots of punk rock band Northstar, a forward thinking band stuck in a genre heading way downhill. From this, lead singer and guitarist Nick Torres and Tyler Odom created the folk-rock band Cassino in 2005 to warm critical success.
Cassino released their debut album, Sounds of Salvation, in 2007 and followed it up with recently released, Kingprince. Through the years, not much touring has developed to this point. Their shows often use both Cassino and a few Northstar songs as well as a few covers. With their newly released second album, we should see more in the near future.
Although Cassino has only released two albums, I could honestly not find a way to leave them out of my top 10. Their music is so beautiful that it can absolutely bring me out of any bad mood. Their soothing sound makes for a great atmosphere boost to any lazy day.
I only expect the best out of them in the coming years, and hopefully they will even rise higher on this list.
To check them out, visit their MySpace page and listen to a few songs. My personal favorite is "New Jerusalem."
(Ed. Note - Coming next week, the other #10 band on the list. Check back to see more.)
