Cassels Experimental Rock

Cassels, a London-based duo composed of brothers Jim and Loz Beck, has its roots in the city's vibrant music scene. They have developed a distinctive sound that blends experimental and punk-infused garage-rock with part sung, part spoken word lyrics. This intentionally muddy mix of experience, opinion, and fiction creates a unique listening experience that sets them apart from other bands.

Their upcoming performance at Where Else? in Margate on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, will likely feature tracks from their new record, A Gut Feeling, which explores themes of grey areas, extenuating circumstances, and misguided attempts at redemption. The duo's lead single, 'Mr Henderson Coughs', is a prime example of their style, with its janky, off-kilter rhythm and darkly comic lyrics.

The brothers' approach to songwriting is characterized by their use of third-person narratives, which allows them to explore personal anxieties and hang-ups in a creative and indirect way. This approach has resulted in a record that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. Tickets are with the button beside the article.
