Cassandra are a four-piece band from Hereford who describe their sound as 'garage grunge rock'.

For the past year, they've been bringing their own unique sound to audiences across the area.

Scott, Joe, Tom and Craig are influenced by Nirvana, The Wytches, Queens Of The Stone Age, Rage Against The Machine and Black Keys.

All of our live studio sessions and festival gigs since 2005...

How To Make It In The Music Industry: The Boomtown Rats

We started off the year with a brand new series of 'How To Make It In The Music Industry' with Hereford's Sean Denny, who runs his own record label at Sony Records in London.

This week, we continue to talk you through the whole signing process with a case study that is right on our doorstep.

Garrick Roberts is the guitarist and founding member of the Boomtown Rats and lives in Bromyard.

It's taken us three years to persuade him to give away his secrets of how his band attracted the attention of managers, record labels and studio producers - and how they insisted the band retained full creative control of their music.

As well as us celebrating our 10th birthday this year, we decided to have a joint party with our friends at The Artrix in Bromsgrove - who are also marking a decade of championing the arts.

They've been doing tonnes with local musicians, too, with performances from The Roving Crows and Remi Harris.

But when their stages aren't being graced by theatre or music, it's been the place where Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre have tested all of their jokes.

Throughout the whole of this month, hear some of the tracks we recorded at the centre from a real mixture of acts across our area.

BBC Introducing in Hereford & Worcester supports unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar musicians from Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Since 2011, we've been taking the show out on-the-road showcasing the very best musicians from our two counties.

On Sunday 26 April, we'll be rolling up to The Courtyard in Hereford to record four acts who we've been playing on BBC Hereford & Worcester recently.

We'll bring the bands - all we need now - is the fans!

None of these artists knew they were being considered for a live session - they were chosen based on the tracks they uploaded to us.

So if you'd like to Be Part Of It then simply turn up on the day - it's free to get in - but you must be prepared to make lots of noise for local music!

The event starts at 1.30pm - but you're more than welcome to turn up anytime until 4.30pm.
