Caesar is an Amsterdam based guitar trio that has existed since 1994. The debut CD Clean (1996) was the first release of the Excelsior label, which also has Johan and Daryll-Ann under its wing. Despite the classical guitar / bass / drums line-up, the band has developed its own sound, which is difficult to compare with other acts. That sound is mainly determined by the crumbly guitar sound and the
… pinched, nasal voice of Roald van Oosten, the contrary bass lines, the choirs and the tight interplay. On the second CD No Rest For The Alonely, which was applauded by the Dutch press, you can clearly hear that the band has grown. The album is better produced and the songs are more dynamic and better arranged, partly due to the use of other instruments such as a steel guitar and xylophone. Convince yourself of the qualities of Caesar and listen to My Loss, Before my head Explodes, Horrorscope (sung by drummer Marit de Loos), Situations Complications and This Ain't a Song. (WvdZ)more
