Iggy lauds, “This quintet has an instinct for combining clever
dance rock and precocious balladry into a potent pop mix.” PopMatters praises,
“Winterhead is user-friendly, hook-driven guitar rock” and The
Owl Mag calls it “Post-punk at its best… a stunner for your ears
to find their way through.” Winterhead was mixed by with
Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer Adam Schlesinger of
Fountains of Wayne and sound engineer Geoff Sanoff (Yeah
Yeah Yeahs, School of Seven Bells).
New Cassettes also wrote the theme song for MTV
show “Savage U,” which premiered last night. The track is included
on Winterhead but you can download it for FREE
today at the MTV SOUNDTRACK blog.
While in Austin for SXSW, New Cassettes recorded live
sessions with Yahoo!
Music, MTV's "Ahead Of The Curve," Dickies for Filter Magazine and Look
Sessions. The quintet are on tour with We
Were Promised Jetpacks through next week and have been stopping
out countless radio stations as well as JBTV, Last FM and a
number of morning shows. New Cassettes will be on the road in the U.S.
through the summer.

"Propulsive, catchy beat-driven dance pop that sits nicely alongside bands like Bloc Party and The Futureheads… their music makes me happy!"
- Nic Harcourt
“A rollicking Brit-rock number that's boisterous
and propulsive like a cousin to Arctic Monkeys or early Franz Ferdinand.”
- Emily Zemler, RCRD LBL
“ If you like Arctic Monkeys or the Vaccines, check
out this track from New Cassettes.”
- AOL Spinner
“ New Cassettes have perfected the art of indie-rock
cool with the awesomely infectious ‘Silent Guns’."
