NEW ALBUM ‘YEAH YEAH YEAH’ OUT JANUARY 30TH 2026 - PRE-ORDER HERE
Cast are in the middle of a spectacular summer. Not only have they been getting the party started throughout Oasis’ mammoth stadium tour, but their recent single ‘Poison Vine’ (featuring the legendary P.P. Arnold) has been one of the biggest UK airplay hits of their entire career. There’s now more to come, as the band again team up with P.P. Arnold for the new single, ‘Way It’s Gotta Be (Oh Yeah)’.
'Way It’s Gotta Be (Oh Yeah)’. is the sound of Cast reborn with the same fire they had back when they started out with a succession of UK hits. It’s a soul-rock anthem that’s amplified by a muscular guitar riff, and supported by a strutting groove which maximalises its fun factor. As with ‘Poison Vine’, P.P. Arnold elevates the song to another level, her soulful majesty providing a counterpoint to John Power’s warm, inimitable vocal - and her adlibs bring a touch of ‘Gimme Shelter’-style class, too.
John Power says, “You’re told all your life this is the way it’s gotta be, when deep inside you know that’s just not true. You’re fed a narrative all your life that tells you how to feel about things that just don’t feel like you. The Way it’s Gotta Be (Oh Yeah) is a psychedelic funk song about walking your true walk and speaking your true talk.”
Both songs feature on Cast’s new album ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’, which will be released January 30th, 2026 via Scruff of the Neck. The band - completed by Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson (guitar) and Keith O’Neill (drums) - recorded the album with the renowned producer Youth (The Verve, Pink Floyd, Primal Scream) at his Space Mountain studio. It will be the follow-up to 2024’s acclaimed ‘Love Is The Call’, which achieved their highest album chart position in almost 25 years.
The pre-order campaign for ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ got off to a flying start when a striking mouthwash effect liquid-filled 12" vinyl quickly sold-out its entire limited edition run. The album is available to pre-order / pre-save HERE, with physical products including a cornetto-coloured vinyl, black vinyl, CD and cassette.
Cast have been winning a big reaction at every Oasis show this summer, with reviews hailing them as “excellent” (Manchester Evening News), “superb” (Liverpool Echo) and “infectious stuff from an infectious band” (Louder Than War).
