Originally formed as a studio band under the name Well Wisher, Weaver and Torrance later recruited Toby Evans, Max Nicolai, and Scott Edwards, and began producing material with the intention of performing live. After a brief hiatus while Weaver auditioned to join the band Northlane, the name Well Wisher was dropped, and the band relaunched under the name Casey. The name is derived from both Weaver's love of the album Casey by The Rise of Science, and also Torrance's tribute to the late Hawthorne Heights guitarist, Casey Calvert.
On December 1st, 2018, the band released a statement explaining that they have decided to disband following a final UK/European tour and a one-off headline show in the US in 2019. Casey's music has been described as "packed to the rafters with emotionally charged guitar lines and captivating, heartfelt lyrics" and "mix of rhythmic atmosphere, spoken word, hardcore guitar and more into the tracks guaranteed to move you and tell you a vivid story.", leading to them being categorized as post-hardcore, melodic hardcore, hardcore punk, emotional hardcore, shoegaze and alternative rock.
In the years following Casey's disbandment, Smith formed the bands Asidhara and Mourn, which was with members of Continents and Wilderness, and released their debut single on August 5, 2021, while Nicolai and Torrance formed Exit Dream alongside vocalist Wesley Thompson, formerly of Napoleon and Climates, and session musician Rob Hawkins.
On December 1, 2022, the band announced that they had reformed and that they had booked five tour date in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe between January 12 and 20, 2023. After every one of the dates sold out, they announced on December 11 that had booked additional dates in London and Oberhausen and upgraded the date in Manchester. In a January 2023 interview with Clash magazine, Weaver explained the reunion came about when Torrence contacted him about reforming only days after his split from his fiancée, which Torrence was unaware of. In the following weeks, the band's final lineup then began to meet one another, and soon writing again. On December 6, 2022, they released the single "Great Grief", the first song written as a band following their reunion, which was followed on January 3, 2023, by the single "Atone".

Casey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I choked on every simple syllable I'd stitched into my teeth
Since the bones reset I guess I think about you less
Unless I'm drinking or upset, but honestly that doesn't happen frequently
I'm not even sure why I'm still calling you up
When I know that your phone's been disconnected for months
I guess it's hard to break a habit that reminds you of love
And needlework would never hurt, I embellished all that I was worth
With words so passionately birthed by lovers losing hope
But in the end I hated all the metaphors we made
Every sickly sentiment that I had sewn into my skin
I'm learning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof
That even love is ruthless
But I survived no thanks to you
But in the end I hated all the metaphors we made
Every sickly sentiment that I had sewn into my skin
I'm learning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof
That even love is ruthless
But I survived no thanks to you
The first two lines of the song Needlework by Casey talk about the singer's inability to let go of their past. They feel trapped and tied to their past and can't seem to move on. The singer also talks about their inability to communicate how they feel. They choke on every word they've stitched into their teeth. The next few lines describe how the singer has finally started to move on from their past, but only when they're drunk or upset. They still find it hard to break the habit of calling their ex-partner. The singer admits to calling their ex even after knowing that their phone has been disconnected for months. The song portrays the mental anguish and despair that follows a difficult break-up.
The second half of the song talks about how the singer has grown as a person after the break-up. The needlework mentioned in the title of the song refers to the metaphors that the singer and their ex had created during their time together. The singer claims that they had embellished all that they were worth with words passionately birthed by lovers losing hope. However, over time, they began to hate those sickly sentiments and started the process of removing all the sutures and wounds that were caused by their past relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is slowly healing and learning that even love is ruthless. They have come out stronger and have survived despite not receiving any help from their ex-partner.
