“Alright” by Cast
“Alright” by Cast appears on 4 radio countdowns from 3 stations between 1995 and 2025. Its best result is #10 on the Virgin Radio Top 10 Songs of 1995. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #319 alternative song of 1995.
Cast released "Alright" on 18 September 1995 through Polydor, the Liverpool band's second single from their debut album, All Change, following "Finetime". The man out front was John Power, who used to play bass in the La's, and the song is older than the band: he wrote it while still in the La's, and it was already being played live in 1991. A recording from a Marquee Club set on 23 April of that year finally surfaced on the 2010 box set Callin' All.
It's Britpop at its most cocksure and sunny, and it made number 13 in the UK before "Sandstorm" took over as the next single.
