Casualties - For The Punx



Casualties is a NYC based street punk band formed in early 1990. And this "For The Punx" CD is a re-released by Punkcore Records in 2007, which the original was released in 1999. Consist of 12 tracks which all are fast, aggressive, roaring vocals, street anthems, everything that makes a street punk album great. There are detriments, and those are the lyrics. The lyrics are indeed not the greatest at times, but it is what it is, and that's 30 minutes of punk rock glory, taking no prisoners.
As some of the more intelligent reviewers have observed, the Casualties are what it means to be punk. I don't mean that you have to have liberty spikes and studded leather jackets; I mean their attitude. They don't care what "society" thinks of them, they act how they want. These guys mean what they sing, and despite everyone calling them fashion punks or whatever's trendy to call people nowadays, the music is brilliant, raw punk, and isn't made to be anything more. lyrically, they write everything about corrupted system which are goes horibly wrong in New York city, also some nihilistic punk atitude, and there is one love song that maybe had become a world wide punk's anthem : Punk Rock Love!
So, if you're into that style of music, just leave you to time to check this one, i bet it would be the worth clasics colected album years after.
