KASKEID DROP NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO 'DRIFTER' OUT TODAY

Sydney's KASKEID are bursting back on to the scene today with the announcement of their new single and video 'Drifter'! The single will be released this Friday February 26 on all digital stores and streaming platforms at http://ffm.to/kaskeid_drifter! The video for this taut new single premiered yesterday at themusic.com.au.

The new single was written by Kaskeid and Produced, Mixed and Mastered by Will Thackray. The thrilling video was directed, filmed & edited by Gareth McGilvray.

James Temo, vocalist for Kaskeid, said that this new track is "...about learning to dedicate time to the things in life you truly take for granted. We all get stuck in our daily work lives, hobbies, ambitions and side hustles but tend to forget the little things that we are around every day. Drifter is a story about realising this from a personal struggle - you sometimes don’t know what you have until it’s gone. This song walks through personal experiences that have happened in our lives and we hope it can resonate with yours too."

Kaskeid burst onto the scene in late 2017 with “Where My Heart Belongs”, and 2018 saw the 5-piece enter the studio to work on their debut EP ‘Helical’. The Sydneysiders sought to tell their story and sonically illustrate both the divide & bond that our human emotions can share.

2018 also saw the release of the ‘Eclipse’ EP, which opened the door to head out on their first tour, where they sold out their first headline show on the Sydney leg of a sweep through Melbourne, Canberra, Gosford, and Sydney and have had the privilege of playing alongside Windwaker, I the Mighty (USA), Awaken I Am, Secrets (USA) & Slaves (USA).

Kaskeid is James Temo on Vocals, Joey Sykes on Guitar & Vocals, Ethan Sykes on Bass & Vocals, Will Thackray on Guitar & Production and Mitchell Wilkinson – Drums.

Kaskeid's new single 'Drifter' will be released on Friday February 26th on all digital stores and streaming platforms at http://ffm.to/kaskeid_drifter.
