“Making deliriously good rock songs… marries whirling heaviness with enough hooks to gleam through the fuzz.”
- ALTERNATIVE PRESS
“With this lo-fi rocket blast, they've emphatically seized our attention.”
- STEREOGUM
“A fun dose of grunge revival.”
- BROOKLYN VEGAN
“Their recorded material captures the all-encompassing noisiness and roaring emotional charge that makes their live set so powerful.”
- NINA PROTOCOL
“A sound capable of hijacking even the most disintegrated, brain-rotted attention spans; delivering profound live sets and injecting that raw, divinely DIY essence into their recorded music.”
-THE UGLY HUG
Today, Louisiana band Cashier are excited to share the title track of their upcoming debut EP, The Weight, available March 13, 2026, via Julia’s War Recordings. “The Weight” captures the bittersweetness found in the passage of time, with soaring guitars soundtracking the heavy feeling of being alive. “I feel the weight now / Of falling out of line / And it feels the same now / As calling out,” bandleader Kylie Gaspard sings over driving drums and whirling riffs, grounding the track into direct emotional catharsis.
“As the title track of the EP, I wanted to tie the themes of all the songs together,” Kylie explains. “In this song, we wanted to create something that honored the influences that came before us. While staying true to having the guitar as the focal point, the lyrics make this a coming-of-age piece, trying to find where we fit in this life, and how we long for connection.”
LISTEN TO “THE WEIGHT”
PRE-ORDER THE WEIGHT
At the beginning of the year, Cashier signed to Julia’s War Recordings and announced their imminent debut EP. Known for their shoegaze roots, the band takes a slightly different approach on the upcoming project, laying precise guitar work and honest songwriting on top of their dense sound. Heralding the announcement, "Like I Do" searches for answers among driving riffs and strong vocals. They also shared an official visualizer for the lead single, filmed throughout previous tours across the U.S. Cashier was recently named one of the “Most Exciting Rising Artists of 2026” by Alternative Press, who praised their “deliriously good rock songs.”
“Part From Me” arrived last month, in which urgent guitars unfurl as bandleader Kylie Gaspard’s powerful vocals break through walls of sound. Capturing the back and forth of a strained relationship, the four-piece approach faulty connections with hard-edged but lush riffs. An official music video for the track features the band drenched in psychedelic graphics as they tear through the new single and go through their daily lives.
