The trance group Cascada was at one point called Cascade, and they did create a single called "Miracle", although they created this single under the name Cascada. In the 1970s a Finnish pop band used the name Cascade. The band was founded by Ami Aspelund, Aimo Jaara, Marjo-Riitta Kervinen and Kari Kuusamo. Tomma Knief and Roope Koistinen joined the band right after it was founded. They were later replaced by Pekka Leminen and Heikki Lyttinen. After less than ten years the band broke down because of the amount of other projects its members had. There is also a band from the Chicago area that was formed in 2006.

They are currently under the name Skyrite and are writing new music.

Cascade From Indonesia Cikal bakal Cascade dimulai tahun 2005 dengan debut show pertamanya nya di Park Life TRL Bar Bandung tanggal 31 januari 2006. Adalah lima orang teman sepermainan; Dea Hidayasa (vokal dan gitar), Mohamad Taufik Ashari (gitar dan vokal), Rommy Febrian (kibor), Muhammad Mustika Rachim (drum), dan Muhammad Mustika Hafizh (bas), memutuskan untuk menggabungkan gairah musik yang ada di dalam diri mereka menjadi satu. Nama yang dipilih kemudian adalah Cascade. “Air terjun mencerminkan lagu-lagu kita. Air terjun itu sejuk, penuh arus, dan begitu menginspirasi. Makanya kami memberi nama kelompok musik ini Cascade,” ujar mereka penuh keyakinan. Musik Cascade adalah pop dengan sentuhan yang cukup unik untuk scene pop lokal saat ini. Sekilas, ada suara Teenage Fanclub di dalam lagu-lagu mereka. Tapi, di kawasan referensi, mereka mengadopsi banyak elemen musik ke dalam musik mereka secara keseluruhan. Ada Mew, Ride, Pet Shop Boys, sampai Rush. “Aliran kami pop, sub genrenya progresif pop,” ujar mereka lagi. Di tengah berjamurnya kembali band-band lokal dengan elemen musik pop sebagai benang merahnya, setidaknya Cascade berani untuk melintasi arus dan memainkan musik yang mereka sukai. “Kita ingin berbagi melalui atmosfir sebuah lagu. Kita ingin berbagi dengan orang yang mendengarkan musik kita tentang perasaan, harapan, dan yang terpenting Cascade selalu bisa menjadi teman yang baik,” jelas band ini panjang lebar. Cascade from Australia Alternative/Progressive rock band hailing from Sydney, Australia, these new comers have already started growing a large fan base, through their intense live shows and the EP 'Anfractuosity' (2012) .
