The Cathodes

The Cathodes are a synth-pop band based near Manchester in the United Kingdom.

The Cathodes officially came up with the band name on 21st March 2020, two days before the first lockdown here in the UK. The band primarily consists of Dave Forward (vocals and guitar), Jules Whettam (keyboards), Paul Cargill (bass) and Dan Hadley (drums). The Cathodes are on Fred Cannon's USA based label - Creative and Dreams Music Network, LLCĀ®.

 

Coming Soon! New single - "Shadows Without Substance"

Shadows Without Substance This slightly spooky sounding song should fit in quite well for the autumn season and will be released on the 11th October along with a video. The song was originally written in 1993 and originally envisaged to be from a loved one who has passed away, essentially now a ghost. Although the song was initially inspired by Peter Gabriel's song - Intruder, there's little resemblance. The band started working on the song in 2023 and had been playing it live. However, it took a further year before the song was finally mixed.
