Waller has self-released three albums of varying styles. His work first received international attention with his 2001 album Extravagant Gesture. The indie album was lauded by a Spin Magazine review, and in REVOLVER Magazine Ann Powers wrote, "For melodic sweep, the prize goes to Holcombe Waller, whose self-released Extravagant Gesture is a small pop epic." Waller's pop influences shifted towards folk for his 2005 release, Troubled Times. The work continued to receive broad critical attention including a positive review in Paste Magazine and a large editorial feature in BUTT Magazine.
Since Troubled Times, Waller has focused on commissions for multidisciplinary performance, dance scores, collaborations, and film scores. He has recently completed "Into the Dark Unknown," an album of music from his touring theatrical folk concert by the same name. The album has posted for public release February 15, 2011.
Cast are an English rock band from Liverpool, formed in 1992 by John Power (vocals, guitar) and Peter Wilkinson (backing vocals, bass) after Power left The La's and Wilkinson's former band Shack had split. Following early line-ups with different guitarists and drummers, Liam "Skin" Tyson (guitar) and Keith O'Neill (drums) joined Cast in 1993.
Emerging from the Britpop movement of the mid-1990s, Cast signed to Polydor Records and their debut album All Change (1995) became the highest selling debut album for the label. Further commercial success continued with the albums Mother Nature Calls (1997) and Magic Hour (1999), however a departure in sound on the band's fourth album Beetroot (2001) was met by a poor critical and commercial reaction and led to the band's split two weeks after its release.
The band reformed in November 2010 and released their fourth album Troubled Times in November 2011. Bassist Peter Wilkinson confirmed his departure from the band in March 2015, following his abrupt departure from a previous tour in December 2014.

Time to hit the road As every star above my head explodes Raining down on desert dust It's hard to call your name When every time I do, I see your face A serenade for haunted love Oh linear, linear Guess I never saw the signs We live in troubled times I'm living in a linear I never read between the lines We live in troubled times We live in troubled times Drowning in the crowd Be careful not to think too much, too loud Be careful what you wish for I can't stop these crying eyes Maybe it's the thinking mind that lies And tells us that it's over Over Oh linear, linear Guess I never saw the signs We live in troubled times I'm living in a linear I never read between the lines We live in troubled times We live in troubled times Linear, linear, linear lines Oh linear, linear Guess I never saw the signs We live in troubled times I'm living in a linear I never read between the lines We live in troubled times We live in troubled times We live in troubled times It's over It's over It's over
