Artist Detailed Info: Phantom Caste

"The summer of 2011 may very well see Ft. Worth band Phantom Caste become a national commodity behind the strength of their latest effort, the self titled "Phantom Caste". It finds the band blending their danceable post-punk structures with gazed-out guitars, pulsing organs, and tinges of electronica, drum and bass, surf rock, and even Morricone westerns. Phantom Caste has huge aspirations, and this record could go a long way in attaining them."

Moody, dark, propulsive indie rock. Angular guitars and haunting synths swirl over machine-gun drumming and mortar-shot bass. Epic sonic structures framed over dance-y post-punk rhythms. Goes well with The Cure, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Radiohead.

Cultivated fervent fan-base in the DFW area in 2010 thanks to highly energetic and blistering live shows. Nominated for Best New Artist of the 2010 Ft. Worth Weekly Music Awards, and for Best Live Band in 2011. Released the polished and immediate "Hands To The Light EP" in July 2010, receiving glowing reviews, as well as local radio and internet streaming airplay.

Shared the stage with some of DFW's finest artists, such as The Burning Hotels, Titanmoon, Grassfight, Cityview, Fate Lions, RTB2, Ella Minnow, The Spiral Sound, The Early Republic and many more. Played with nationally known talents like The Delta Mirror, Baker Family, Language Room, John Lefler (Dashboard Confessional), and Lindsey Rae Spurlock.
