Biography

In April 2005, Cassino was birthed from the remnants of the two principle songwriters of the Alabama rock group Northstar…an inevitably organic genesis that came to light through a creative bond that existed for numerous years between Nick Torres and Tyler Odom. They began recording their first album in 2006 with Nashville-based producer/drummer Craig Krampf, known for his work with artists including Dolly Parton, Alabama, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Perry and Melissa Etheridge. While the duo says that the record doesn’t have a specifically Nashville sound, the city did become prevalent in the making of their debut record “Sounds of Salvation,” both as a new environment to inspire songwriting, and in the cast of characters brought in by Krampf. “Salvation” was soon blessed by the contributions of E Street Band bassist Garry Tallent and legendary saxophonist Jim Horn.

Released independently on March 29, 2007, “Sounds of Salvation” is the fruit of this blending of various states and sounds.


After some sporadic touring (and eventually a full U.S. tour), Cassino settled down and started working on another full length record. The album is entitled “Kingprince”, and was recorded by the band themselves. It was released digitally on December 9, 2009, with a physical release following on January 25, 2010.

    I just want to say, though I don't know you, that you have truly helped me through some hard parts and made me smile through the best times. Your music sends shivers down my spine and across my skin. I don't know you but you somehow know me because every note and every word explains me better than I ever could. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    This band has really grown on me these past few weeks. Tigers On Trains is pretty similar to Cassino if you guys want to listen to something new. Grandfather in particular is a fantastic album.

    I'm surprised they didn't throw The Old Year on Kingprince. I guess it was already perfect the way it was though. Loving the album so far. Not sure why I waited so long to get it.
