Cages - Better Mistakes

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER - TO BE SHIPPED FEBRUARY 21st 2025.

Founded by Serkan (guitar, ex-We Had A Deal), Felix (bass, Rêche/ex-Schönleben), Micha (vocals, ex-We Had A Deal/ex-Schönleben), David (drums) und Uli (guitar, ex-We Had A Deal) CAGES aim to create captivating music performed with an unmistakable sense of urgency.

On their sophomore record "Better Mistakes" the screamy emotive DIY-hardcore group from Ludwigsburg, Germany, creates a reflective yet unpolished intensity that is displayed in all six songs. Recorded at Fieser Schwan and mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios "Better Mistakes" shows a varied song writing approach with heavy early 2000s influences. Emerging from catchy riff delivery coupled with passionate vocals there's a glimpse of hope shining throughout the record.

So despite the downhearted lyrics addressing personal anxiety and mental health as well as social and political issues at its core CAGES' music remains melody-driven and almost optimistic. "Better Mistakes" is set for release on February 21st by the band with the help of world wide DIY labels on one-sided 12inch-vinyl with a screen printed b-side. Responsible for the record's artworks is schwarzer.rand (schwarzerrand.wordpress.com).
