Casino Royal is a two piece band based in Vienna/Austria being together in this line up since 1997.
The main musical roots of Casino Royal are the likes of - to name only a view - the Smiths, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Primal Scream, Depeche Mode.
Four albums recorded so far.The first two in cheap studios the latest two in Casino Royal’s own studio which was set up just before Christmas 2002.
The sound of the two first records was more guitar/bass/drums and a bit of keyboards - in the line of the Smiths or the Pixies.
Since the latest two CDs 'Rabble Rouser' and ‘The Restless Years’ were recorded in their own studio more time was at hand and sounds and setup of the tunes became more sophisticatedand with all the gadgets of a modern studio at their hands the sound of Casino Royal turned towards a more electronic feel.
Still all tracks are tunes with proper song structure and vocals on top of it - no pointless electronic frickling or boring wall paper music for lounge bars as background for urban hipster yuppies.
Some of the tracks have been released on various samplers in Austria, Italy, England and Finnland. Two of their tracks are included in a movie which was screened in cinemas nationwide and also shown on Austrian and German television.
The soundtrack featuring both Casino Royal tracks was released on Monkey Records.
In reviews on 'Rabble Rouser' and ‘The Restless Years’ the likes of Marc Almond, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and Radiohead were name dropped.
Even though Casino Royal don't see their music so much in that way - but then again it is the listener who is the judge!
Check it out and find out for yourself!

If you like Depeche Mode, you'll want to take a listen to "The Restless Years" by Casino Royal. This techno pop duo is fueled by an electronic feel which creates a refreshing mix of songs. Casino Royal shows dedication and time well spent in their studio producing this quality album. As you listen to each track you can hear a variety of electronic instruments with an impression of their creativity, while great care was spent balancing sounds so each instrument can be heard. Listen to "Battle of the Sexes" as it takes an upbeat turn with a bass rhythm kicking off the song leading into a Latin drum tempo. The use of synths is especially noted by using a horn section to add flavor to "Against All Reasons." Nicely slowing down the tempo in "To Fit," this duo demonstrates their versatility on this track, which features a catchy guitar lick. If you're a fan of Techno Pop, you’ll enjoy this CD, which uses an invigorating selection of lyrics, synths, and versatility backed by a creative mix of rhythms.

Excellent electronic adult pop/rock CD. Very impressive production and musicianship throughout. The title track, Rabble Rouser, like many of the tracks, has some neat production tricks and a catchy electro-beat. If you enjoy bands like New Order, Depeche Mode and The Smiths, you'll enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today.
