Cassmark (aka Sarcastic Remark) is multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter/lyricist Jim Frangelo's self-proclaimed "musical engine", founded 2004 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The music stems from Jim's dedication and persistence in expressing his distinct musical unconventionalities. He plays, writes, and sings all of his originally written music. Jim mainly uses guitars, bass, and drums along with his voice to create his sound.
Jim's songwriting efforts, recording techniques, instrumental ability and vocal patterns have interested many of those who have listened to Cassmark. His musical spectrum and interpretations are one of a kind, and he finds them completely natural. Many listeners come to say that they cannot sum up Cassmark with just one listen.
Jim insists it's a healthy challenge to be the main input and output of Cassmark's sound. Committed to a free-flowing thoght process in musical ideas, he found it logical to build a songwriting method based upon creative freedom. Jim prepares each song's parts individually, and this writing method provides structure in the combination of these parts.
