The Casualties – Under Attack record review

Like’em or hate’em (why hate?) The Casualties have been around for a long time and this band of Punks are true blue Punk rock. We caught wind of this new CD a while back and found ourselves going to the band’s My Space everyday to listen to the new material. The daily My Space trip ended when we were handed an advance copy of their new album, who’s street date was August 22.

One thing can be said about The Casualties and respected about them is that they have never really changed their vibe and this latest offering is no different. The production value on this one is top shelf, without loosing the teeth that this band is known for. With 12 songs, it is filled with harmonizing that is in the Casualties vain, as well as anthems that you quickly find yourself raising your fist and singing along. The album is a real representation of that aggression and passion for issues that Punks have been speaking out on for a generation. It brings to attention the failing of our government to the hope that is we stand together we can change the world. This is an album that we even think that passive fans of the band will find worthy of adding to their CD collections. Warning: this record is addicting.
