CASHLESS are hitting it hard since 2000. A whole decade full of faith, dedication and love for music. Their new album is called “From Sparks To Fire”, and the name is the game.
These guys know: “You gotta work hard to keep the dream alive. Especially when you’re from a no-man’s-land like us. No sparks, no fire!”
“From Sparks To Fire” sounds fresh and familiar at the same time. The songwriting-process for their third record was influenced by contemporary punk/rock music as well as 60s/70s heroes like Springsteen and The Clash. CASHLESS come around with a brand new sound that is soulful and catchy – but always with an edge.
The opening track “How To Move” is a driving rock anthem with Foo Fighters spirit and a chorus that will stay in your head forever. “You And The Boys” sounds like a perfect Van-Morrison-Acoustic-Punk-Hybrid with its harmonica and Hammond B-3, and “Wrong Side” surprises with epic sing-alongs and a furious E-Street-Sax at its best.
The true soul of “From Sparks To Fire” can be found in the lyrics. CASHLESS always put their hearts into words. Simple, but honest. “Hold On” and “Missing You” may contain heartbreak-lyrics that some might call “over-sentimental” – But nobody calls Mike Ness a cry-baby, right?
“From Sparks To Fire” – The Bavarian streetpunk-sparks called CASHLESS finally turn into a rock’n’roll-wildfire!
