Casino Madrid is a post-hardcore band from San Diego, CA whose style of music runs along the border between the heavily articulated breakdowns of post-hardcore and the playful dark side of trance music. Founded in late 2007 in San Diego, CA, the band was originally comprised of drummer Juan Cruz, guitarists Sean Quinn and Austin Graham, and bassist Kevin Butler. It wasn’t until late 2008 that they recruited two of their most talented friends: Joe Demaio on vocals and Robert Cesena as the synth keyboardist. With a sizable amount of shows under their belt, in places like Soma, Epicentre,and much more, and a self-produced EP “For Kings and Queens”, it is no wonder why Casino Madrid is a common name amongst local San Diego scene kids.
