As the likes of Foals and Two Door Cinema Club have established the now-popular genre of indie-rock/pop, The Cast of Cheers are a great example of the ever-evolving music scene. In what is depicted as "math rock", The Cast Of Cheers have clearly sought influence from bands such as Foals, but have developed their own sound.
I managed to catch their early-afternoon set on the Festival Republic stage at this year's Reading Festival. Although the tent was not packed out, the crowd there were witness to a show evident of their potential. Certain highlights of their short set included 'Human Elevator' and 'Animals'.
The Cast of Cheers broke on to the scene after releasing their first album 'Chariot' in February 2010 and made it available to download for free, resulting in up to 150, 000 downloads. This July, the indie band released their second album titled 'Family'. The title track, and the previously released single, is a personal favourite of mine on this record, and is definitely worth a listen.
