It’s press time babyYYY

BOSS CASS is the 2024 re-brand of the Southwest’s very own ONE-MAN PUNK BAND FKA ‘FLUFF’.

FFO: Beastie Boys, Soft Play, Kid Kapichi.

This silly little project has been firmly riding the crest of a wave of PRAISE and local SUPPORT since it’s explosion onto the Southwest scene in early 2022. The consistently HIGH OCTANE and INFECTIOUSLY ENTERTAINING live shows performed by OLLIE (pictured) managed to capture the hearts of his community and helped towards building a truly ORGANIC FOLLOWING with only some guitars, a ghetto blaster and mic.

Since the live launch, Boss Cass played over 120 LIVE SHOWS on a purely DIY basis. No management, no label, no booking agents and absolutely zero messing about. These shows included appearances at GLASTONBURY 2023 and BOARDMASTERS 2022 & ‘23 (both RE-BOOKING FOR 2024), and supporting TOM MEIGHAN on his warm up show in Falmouth Princess Pavillion.

Cass’ 2024 ROADMAP is looking promising as he is beginning to build his team and take a more strategic approach to music to help him push through to the next level of the circuit. The biggest decision taken was to RE-BRAND in March 2024 ensuring a solid foundation before pushing for growth as issues with other artists also adopting the name ‘Fluff’ were starting to arise. A DEBUT HEADLINE TOUR along with a string of NEW RELEASES with new producer Michael Clarke (Prod & Eng Big Special) is pointing towards a big year of change for this short-king twenty-something.

Boss Cass’s first release under the rebrand is ‘HOUSE ALWAYS WINS’, a THUNDEROUS HEADBANGER based on the themes of being lured into CYCLES and on a deeper level can be paralleled with the tragedy of ADDICTION. Even the song itself is designed via the structuring, recording, and editing in such a way that if played on loop, you never notice the beginning or the end, luring the listener into yet another cycle. For Cass, the problem that inspired these lyrics comes from how algorithmic social media platforms act increasingly like casinos with every swipe. But it’s not your money they want, they’re cashing in on your time and attention span. The analogy of a sinking ship is used to describe the feeling of sinking deeper into a newsfeed and how difficult it can be to snap out of the trance-like state these apps can put you in.
