cadzo

Colorado-based indie rock band cadzo formed in early 2023 between guitarist/singer Collin Orr and drummer Julian Ferrara. Orr and Ferrara had been longtime friends and musical collaborators, but jumped into cadzo with a renewed sense of excitement and ambition. Drawing inspiration from 2000s Indie, Britpop, and New Wave, they quickly began writing songs and defining their sound. Not long after, keyboardist Will Benson joined the lineup, bringing a distinctive musical element that elevated their burgeoning sound to new heights. With Benson on board, cadzo started recording in Ferrara's basement, resulting in a self-titled EP and a couple singles released in late 2023. In February 2024, cadzo released their third single, "Larimer Street," which has since garnered 49K Spotify streams. In November 2024, they self-released their 11-track debut LP, Mile a Minute Man, entirely self-recorded, mixed, and mastered. The album is now available on all streaming platforms. Bassist Drew Miller joined the lineup in 2025, helping to contribute to the band's September 2025 single "Bored with the Melody."

As an addition to the band's musical works, Orr and Ferrara record a weekly podcast called podcadzo where they discuss musical topics and interview several of their friends in the broader Colorado music scene. podcadzo can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
