Caskets formed in 2015 with Matthew Reynolds on vocals and guitar, Ollie Smith on guitar, Craig Murray on bass, and Benji Thompson on drums. They started playing small venues around the UK, working through the usual early struggles of a new band trying to find its footing.
Their debut single 'Glass Heart' came out in 2018, and its mix of melodic rock and raw emotion connected with listeners. That led to their self-titled debut album the following year. Songs like 'Lost In Echoes' and 'Drowned In Emotion' continued in a similar vein, dealing with heartbreak and personal turmoil.
They followed up with albums in 2020 and 2022, which explored darker themes around mental health and relationships. Reynolds' lyrics and vocals remained central to their sound, with the rest of the band providing the atmospheric rock backdrop.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
