1) Caesar was a three-piece indie rock band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1994-2008), consisting of Roald van Oosten (vocals, guitar), Sem David Bakker (bass) and Marit de Loos (drums). Their début album, Clean (1996), was the very first release of Holland's prestigious Excelsior Recordings label. The band would release three more studio albums: No Rest For The Alonely (1998), Leaving Sparks (2000) and the self-titled Caesar (2003). They were one of the most popular indie rock bands in The Netherlands around the year 2000, played almost every major Dutch festival, won a 'Silver Harp' and toured internationally.
Following a sabbatical year (2005), the group released Before My band Explodes (2006), a compilation of outtakes and rarities. The band arranged a 'farewell gig' in the Melkweg in Amsterdam in April 2008 - and called it a day.
Frontman, Roald van Oosten, continued to release music, first with his shirt-lived new group, Ghost Trucker (2006). 2016 saw the release of his first solo album.
2) Cæsar is Bjarne Bøgesø Rasmussen (May 15, 1938 - April 22, 2000), a Danish protest/folk singer.
3) The American Caesar formed in December 2010, and while none of the members can call the same town home, they have all found a home within Caesar. Caesar hits the pavement as much as possible and having members from Michigan and Indiana, they make sure that whenever they are given a stage to play on they make sure to leave their mark. The live performance of this group is what they pride themselves on, and they entertain in a manner that fans won't soon forget. As for the music, it can stand on its own. The way in which the music of Caesar is delivered through speakers is for lack of a better word: aggressive.It can be found in the rhythmic attack from the instruments and the chilling delivery of the vocals. The music is high energy and unceasing. Caesar has hopes to find a home in an industry that is constantly changing. With the groups first full length expected in the early summer 2012, Caesar is putting all they have into creating a unique music experience that they are going to give back to every single person that has supported them.

Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate it so hear this, I want it to stop
But I can't seem to find, no heart, no reply
I have been hoping to get it together
There has been nobody who told me to stop
But I can't and I won't stop, no heart, no reply
I am so shallow, can't ever do better,
Inspiral denial has made me give up
Cause I can't and I won't, confide to what I'm told
I just can't face it anymore
Following the sun, look at her eyes
I suddenly know it's a sign but I can be wrong
Oh, I have been hoping that I was wrong
Oh I had been hoping all along but it can be It can be
For I can't seem to find, no heart, no reply
I just can't face it anymore
In Caesar's song No Reply, the singer expresses the desire to leave behind a situation where they feel unheard and misunderstood. They want the talking to stop, and they express frustration at the lack of response. The singer admits to being shallow and giving up due to Insipral denial, a term that seems to refer to a sense of being stuck or trapped. Despite hoping to be wrong, the singer still can't seem to find any heart or reply from the people around them, and they're tired of facing the situation.
It's possible that the song is about a romantic relationship, where the singer is trying to communicate their feelings but is met with silence or indifference. The line "following the sun, look at her eyes" could be a reference to a specific person, and the singer's uncertainty about whether they're reading the signs correctly adds a sense of confusion and doubt to the lyrics.
Alternatively, the song could be interpreted more broadly as a commentary on the difficulty of communication and finding meaningful connections in a world where people are easily distracted and disconnected. The line "I can't and I won't, confide to what I'm told" suggests that the singer is resistant to conforming to societal norms or expectations, and they're struggling to find a way to be heard and understood on their own terms.
