The Cassettes-Washington D.C.
Hailing from the nations capital, this quartet is assembled from such
notable underground acts as Frodus, Dead Meadow, and Weird War. Sunshine-filled
songs of violet strewn hills of amplifiers, kaleidoscopic swirling guitars,
and running rivulets of fuzz-drenched sound are from what is known as The
Cassettes. A marriage of 70s power-pop to the angular indie D.C. sound,
The Cassettes are not so much a step back as they are a sideward glance
through a distorted mirror of influences. Oer The Mountains will be
out Spring 2003 on Lovely Alice, an Italian record label. www.thecassettesmusic.com
