Seventeen years on from its inception, Cake is still an outsider – defiantly and proudly cutting its own path. Both the music and its way of operating in the ever-evolving marketplace are fueled by the same core principles of self-reliance, democracy, and integrity that inspired the group's formation. “We’re using the processes that we have always used,” explains lead singer and guitarist John McCrea. “But we’ve got different tools now. The intellectual and emotional components are consistent, but the scenario and the scale are always changing.” These values, which initially set Cake apart from the crowded California club scene and thrusted them into the national spotlight, continue to flourish, expanding outward into new directions and roles.
