In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by John Power, frontman of Cast, as the legendary Britpop band celebrates a major milestone — 30 years since the release of their iconic debut album All Change.

Cast are in the strongest position they’ve been in for decades. Their 2023 album Love Is The Call received widespread critical acclaim and earned their highest chart position in 25 years. Now, they’re preparing to support Oasis on the UK and Ireland leg of their hugely anticipated stadium reunion tour — a landmark moment for the Liverpool band.

Once those stadium shows wrap, Cast will return to their roots with the 30 Years of All Change tour, performing their beloved 1995 debut album in full. Featuring timeless tracks like ‘Alright’, ‘Finetime’, ‘Sandstorm’ and ‘Walkaway’, All Change remains one of the defining records of the Britpop era. It debuted at #7, went Platinum, and spent nearly a year in the UK Top 40.

In this conversation, John reflects on his transition from The La’s to forming Cast, the emotional and musical impact of All Change, and what it means to still be performing with original members Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson and Keith O’Neill three decades on. He also reveals exciting news about a brand new Cast single arriving soon, and shares early details of their next studio album, set for release in 2026.
