5.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT for Blink fans, November 14, 2001

By 

Christy (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: For the Punx (Audio CD)

The Casualties are the most DIY band exisiting at the moment...like all the bands on Punk Core Records they are bringing back the era of old fashioned street punk/oi! that was lost in the 90's because punk got too poppy. It is very true that punk is not what you wear , but it doesnt mean going balistic either because you see this band dressed this way...The Casualties are simply showing off their love for old style fashioned street punk including the fashions of that time.not only that but they play some fast and loud music without a care in the world for the "rules" and the whole "hey punk is about making a difference" things...they believe in punk for the sake of punk

This album "For The Punx"...is a slice full of the raw street punk sound. Lyrically...hey they're not college professors..but that doesnt make this album any less enjoyable..the songs are repetive in choruses ..but lyrically it doesnt matter anyway because Jorge's vocals are so nasty nobody can understand a word he says without a handy lyric sheet...but some of the lyrics on here are actually good "Destruction and Hate" is the best example of this when compared to "Punx & Skinz"..or "Punk Rock Love"..

Musically it's thrashy and loud...and even in some places melodic("Punk Rock Love" which is actually a parody of cheesy love song punk ). Other faves is "Chaos Punx"..( which the lyrics are sung in spanish ).."Ugly Bastards"..great song with great lyrics

"Casualties"..with a funny excerpt in the begining
"For the Punx" , "City Life" , "Police Brutality"..just a great street punk album

This album represents what good punk rock should be...simplicity..that was what punk was founded on..look at the Ramones who are considered to be one of the greatest punk bands ever..dumb lyrics , 3 chords , it works

The Casualties don't wanna just sell records..they don't care about being rock-stars...it's punk rock for the sake of punk rock..no cliche idealims...and raw oi!

Buy this if you are a true street/oi fan

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, July 12, 2003

By 

Nick (NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lefty's Deceiver (Audio CD)

After coming by to see the reviews of others punks like myself, I can fully understand what The Casualties are talking about. Come n 4 reviews, I mean the music is genius. Even the punks arent real punks, they are listening to The Ataris, and bands like Brand New, who dont get me wrong is a good band to listen too, but they do nothing to make no diffrence. This band is trying to find the middle ground that will eventually lead us to a Utopia which will ultimately be messed up by the masses. The superficial music, including punk, that is out know has driven me crazy. Its about time that music makes a diffrence in our life. The Casualites are that band, which will make a diffrence in the way you think, and not to mention their hair is awesome. If you are going to listen to music that makes a diffrence Im glad your thinking of starting with The Casualties, but dont forget about bands that opened those doors. Minor Threat, The Dead Kennedys, and the thousands of other bands that will go un-named because of I dont know who to start with. Once more dont forget about the new bands who are trying to make a diffrence, such as Anti-Flag and Good Riddance, untill we start listening to music that makes a diffrence, nothing will change, and if nothing changes then we are in for a rough future in America, rock on, and say goodbye to individualism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their best album, November 25, 2001

By 

Jonathan Henry (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: For the Punx (Audio CD)

I write this without having heard much of their recently released "Die-Hards" disc, but as far as I am concerned, this is the Casualties' best album. Punk Rock Love is an awesome song (if you listen closely, the guitar chords are actually the same as the Misfits song "Skulls", which is sort of weird, but I love that song too). Punx and Skinz is fun, and Casualties has a clip from the movie "Return of the Living Dead" at the beginning, which wins this CD major points because it's my favorite movie.

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. To "A music fan" from Texas...have you ever been to a Casualties show? They are as far from Blink as you can possibly get. They play tiny venues to small crowds, BECAUSE they are the opposite of all that Blink and junky mainstream punk stands for. It's not the Casualties that misunderstand punk, it's you.

Summary: Incredible streetpunk album, if you're into that style of music, I can almost guarantee you'll like this. Check out "The Anger and the Truth" by the Unseen too, it's another great one.
