This (UK) Cake were formed in 1991 – almost exactly the same time as the U.S. band. So no stealing names there.
The original band named Cake were (as Matthew James notes above) an all girl trio formed in 1966.
Get a grip people !

lots of comments and I agree with those that are angry because it is not CAKE. Isn’t this name trademarked and can’t this new Cake be sued for using it? Common law trademark rights have already been established by simply using the mark in commerce (for the past 20+ years). Disagree with Matthew that after 60 years there will be very few unique names left. Check any playlist or new release list for thousands of new names this year alone.

What a load of stupid responses. Before the mediocre US band called Cake started, there was already a Dutch band called Cake who had released 6 singles from 1977. And how about the 60s New York band ‘The Cake’? Discogs lists 16 bands called Cake – I’m afraid these days after 60 years of Rock Music there will be very few unique names left.

Hey, good luck with your music! Pay no attention to the boneheads who think you “stole” your name. There are, at least, four bands called “Cake” two of them predate the band that sang “Never There” by 15 years.

Hey, why are you called Cake? You know there’s a U.S. band that has been around for years with the same name right? Jeez.

Yes, if you want to steal a band name, please at least pick an inactive band. Furthermore, if you still feel the need to steal a band name instead of just making up a new one (there are lots of words in the English dictionary, this is not rocket science), at least bother making decent music. Even after realizing this was not the REAL cake, I probably would have given it a shot if it was not absolutely terrible. Better luck next time!

Yes. Spotify has the album as if were performed by Cake. Very weird start listening and then discover that it is not a Cake album
