CAKE
CAKE
Sacramento, USPop, Country, Rock, Alternative, Hip Hop
2.5bn all-time streams (6 Aug '26)
Best-known for their ubiquitous hit "The Distance," Cake epitomized the postmodern, irony-drenched aesthetic of '90s geek rock.
Their sound freely mixed and matched pastiches of widely varying genres -- white-boy funk, hip-hop, country, new wave pop, jazz, college rock, and guitar rock -- with a particular delight in the clashes that resulted.
