On the Radar: Castaway
The Castaway dudes! Credit to the band’s Instagram for this shot.
Dynamic, mixer-uppers of the craft and absolute jammers on toast, I am happy to present Christchurch band, Castaway as this week’s On the Radar!
Having found their sound through playing around Christchurch and immersing themselves into whatever they are able to, Castaway have become a hit with listeners around the country and even stretching as far as Singapore - an impressive effort to be proud of.
The band is made up of Jack, Austen, Rhys, Joe and Jackson, who are full of energetic spells and have more to offer with their creativity and hard work that hasn’t gone unnoticed. They each have their own instruments they play, along with sometimes switching it up and moving throughout their sets to play on other instruments which is so fun and allows the guys to showcase their multitude of talents to their audience.
Having released their debut EP in a time of crazy “chaos” around the world, Chaos & Order has been able to reach new heights and taken us all on a wave of truths that only Castaway can deliver.
Sweet Science has to be my top pick of the songs they have released so far. That, or Straight for Starters. However, it sounds like they are going to release some new music in the coming months potentially, so follow along with them for updates!
