PURE ADULT // CASSELS // REVOLVER

                                                                        

Pure Adult is an experimental rock band from Brooklyn, NY. Originally a solo project of multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Snyder, Pure Adult later expanded to be a collaboration between him and contemporary dancer and visual artist Bianca Abarca. They have toured internationally with Gilla Band, Mdou Moctar, Bambara and Thank, shared bills with A Place To Bury Strangers and Mclusky as well as headlining their own shows in both the US and UK.
In 2023, they released their first LP, II, on Fat Cat Records, two years after self-releasing their first EP, I.

                       

“Pungent chaos that serves no pomp, instead it throws around dark innuendo like a rag doll to the cadence of fury and fucking. The best album I’ve heard in ages. The best band you haven’t seen. Go dig, it’s beautiful at its worst.” - Joe Talbot, IDLES

                       

“A furious piece of work.” Steve Lamacq

                       

“Blown-out, hyperactive, aggressive, and danceable rock informed by punk and post-punk.” – Brooklyn Vegan

                                                       

                                                                        

Cassels are a band of two brothers; Jim and Loz Beck. They make, in their own words, ‘music for misanthropes and malcontents’. This descriptor is as fitting as any, given the music itself is so hard to pin down. 

At times pummeling and abrasive, at others delicate and tender – often within the same song – theirs is a sound which defies genre labels. It’s rare to find a band who sound only like themselves, especially one with just two instruments, but Cassels are just that.

The brothers began playing music together in their remote countryside bedroom long before their voices broke. Here, away from the infectious spirit of music scenes and trends, they stumbled upon the quirks and idiosyncrasies which would become Cassels.

Their bond (and band) was solidified in the UK underground. Successive albums and tours have taken them further afield. They’ve racked up shows with the likes of IDLES, Unsane, Show Me The Body, Brutus and Car Seat Headrest, as well as a string of festival appearances. They are now a formidable live force, with numerous sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe under their belts.

Their latest album, Tracked In Mud (2025), represents another evolution. Heavier and more experimental, the album showcases a band full of confidence who aren’t afraid to push themselves into new territory.
