Birmingham, West Midlands has spawned more than its fair share of cultural giants down the years: W.H.Auden, J.R.R.R Tolkien, Tony Hancock, Black Sabbath, to name but a few, have had their DNA moulded by this particular, quirky patch of Black Country.
In keeping with this lineage of icons, come Casino. Immersed in the rich musical heritage of the city, Adam Zindani, Sam Yapp, Jo Crofts and Jimi Crutchley came together to make a sonically-charged wall of sound, reminiscent of classic rock and rock n'roll bands (think Zep, Cream, Guns N' Roses) while retaining an obvious originality.
Now on the brink of something big, Casino are ready to show their worth to the world; something Adam has already had the privilege of as a member of Stereophonics. A big sound, lyrics that actually mean something and songs designed for the terraces (if we still had 'em). The group's forthcoming album, Heavy Fever (produced, mixed and mastered by Jim Lowe (Foo Fighters, Manics, The Charlatans), is slated for a March 2012 release (on Transmission Recordings) and is a positive tidal wave of melodic noise on the musical horizon.



Early champions of Casino include the highly-influential Kerrang! Radio and Q Radio. Pretty soon these beloved Brummie's music will be everywhere from Moseley to Mombassa.
