Cascade (band)

Cascade (stylized as CASCADE) is a Japanese visual kei rock band, with a sound not typical of others in the movement, in that it is strongly influenced by new wave music.[1][2] The band formed in 1993 and disbanded in August 2002,[1] but six years later the band reunited and released a new album in 2009, Vivo.
