Cake
Cake is an alternative rock band from Sacramento, California, known for their unique blend of rock, funk, country, and jazz influences. Fronted by John McCrea, the band’s signature sound includes deadpan vocals, trumpet solos, and ironic, often satirical lyrics. Their breakthrough came in the mid-90s with hits like "The Distance" from their 1996 album Fashion Nugget, which showcased their unconventional style.
Over the years, Cake has maintained their distinct approach to music, avoiding trends and focusing on their eclectic, DIY ethos. Albums like Comfort Eagle (2001) and Showroom of Compassion (2011) further cemented their reputation for witty, genre-defying songwriting. Despite sporadic releases, their music remains timeless, and they continue to attract a dedicated fanbase.
