Alright
Cast was formed in 1993 by John Power, the former bassist of The La's. They released four albums between 1995 and 2001. Cast were at the height of their popularity during the mid-90's Britpop movements. Whilst popular, they were seen as one of the "lesser" bands of the moment, often overshadowed by the likes of more popular bands such as Blur, Oasis and Pulp. It has been suggested that the name "Cast" was taken from the final line of the final song on The La's eponymous (and only) album.

Whilst popular, they were seen as one of the "lesser" bands of the moment, often overshadowed by the likes of more popular bands such as Blur, Oasis and Pulp. It has been suggested that the name "Cast" was taken from the final line of the final song on The La's eponymous (and only) album. The song "Looking Glass" ends with the line ""The stone is cast, the glass is smashed".

After the commercial failure of their final studio album Beetroot in 2001, Cast split in 2002. John Power would subsequently release a solo album. In 2005 it was announced The La's were reforming with John Power included, this would seem to preclude any comeback for Cast for the foreseeable future.

A 2004 greatest hits album - The Collection - also failed to chart. It was criticised as it failed to feature the hit singles "Alright" and "Walkaway" from their most popular release All Change and was comprised largely of album tracks.

Since 2002 Peter Wilkinson has recorded and toured with a number of artists including Ian McCulloch and McCulloch's reformed band, Echo & The Bunnymen. Wilkinson left Echo and the Bunnymen in mid 2005 and has now rejoined the Liverpool band Shack who are currently signed to Sour Mash , Noel Gallagher's record label. Shack are due to release their new album On the Corner of Miles and Gil in March 2006.

Alright
by Cast

I guess I'm alright, guess I'm alright.
I guess I'm doing fine, guess I'm doing fine,
D'you think I miss you? d'you think I care?
D'you think I'll lie here and die?
You never even tried,you never even tried.

Now it's about time, it's the right time,
If you willed your mind, you willed your mind,
To fly on swift now,
On your journey home,
And you've left the nest now, and you have flown,
and nothing you don't know, ain't nothing you don't know

Look out to sea,
and tell me what we came here for,
Is it what they say or is it
more than you can know,
and if so, which way am I to go,
which way am I to go,
which way am I to go?

I guess I'm alright guess I'm alright,
I guess I'm doing fine, guess I'm doing fine,
Can't see no reason,
and not much to do,
So make like the wind that's blowing you,
ain't nothing you can't do,
ain't nothing you can do,

I guess I'm alright guess I'm alright,
I guess I'm doing fine, guess I'm doing fine,
Can't see no reason,
and not much to do,
So make like the wind that's blowing you,
ain't nothing you can't do,
ain't nothing you can do,
