Cassinis Division : For five years Cassini's Division have been taking their brand of emotionally charged modern rock to an ever growing audience with whom the band seems to share an uncanny, almost spiritual connection.Based in Calcutta, India, the band weaves a sonic tapestry that combines the whiplash distortion of nu-metal and the melodic heart of emo with the ambient darkness of Goth pop. With major Indian rock festivals and a limited edition EP under its belt, the band is set to enter the studio in August to begin recording their first full length album The Ringside View.
