Causes were a four-piece indie pop band who were based in the Netherlands.
The band is composed of British singer-songwriter Rupert Blackman (vocals), Jan Schröder (guitar), Simon Boeing-Messing (drums) and Robert Pronk (bass). [1] Blackman moved to Amsterdam from the UK [2] and started busking on the street. [3] [4] [5] He regularly sold out of homemade CD's and interest quickly garnered. He signed a record deal in Benelux with Play It Again Sam. Soon after he met guitarist Jan Schroder and Causes was swiftly formed. [6] [7]
The band's debut single "Teach Me How To Dance With You" was released in late 2014 in Benelux and proved an immediate success; [8] [9] [10] first being playlisted on Radio 538, [11] with all other major radio stations soon following suit. It quickly gained Platinum status [12] [13] and was followed up by a second, also very successful single "Walk on Water" [14] which was premiered with a performance on 3FM [15] June 4 alongside another RTL Late Night TV performance. [16] [17] Causes were invited back to RTL Late Night the following week to close the season finale. [18] [19] The band went on to sign a deal with Year One / RCA records [20] in July 2015 and "To The River" was released on 9 October, their first release outside Benelux.
2015 held a busy summer of live shows and festivals including Pinkpop [21] [22] and Appelpop [23] as well as a headline show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. [24] [25] [26] Causes' debut album was produced by Ian Grimble (Bears Den, Daughter) [27] [28] and was released in 2016 through RCA/PIAS. [29] [30] The band played the Eurosonic and Noorderslag festivals in January 2017. [31]
On 5 April 2019, the band announced that they were dissolving. [32]
