The Casualties   Информация о группе Founding Members The Casualties members aimed to return to what they viewed as the "golden era" of punk, which they believed had disappeared by 1985. During the early years, the lineup changed a great deal. The initial lineup consisted of Colin and Jorge on vocals, Yureesh on drums, Hank on guitar, and Mark on bass. Colin stepped out for several months to finish his education while Rachel, Rivits's singer, took his place. First Recordings At this point, Colin, Jorge, Yureesh, and Mark put together a demo. Fred replaced Hank, but then Fred left to go to school, and Scott from C Squat filled in. Another guitarist, Steve, also filled in during this period. The EP , 40 oz Casualty was recorded. By 1992, the band was touring and building up a fan base in NYC. In 1993, bassist Mark and guitarist Fred were replaced by Mike and Jake, respectively. Meggers of the Rivits came to fill in and became the regular drummer. The line-up of Jorge, Jake, Mike and Meggers continued until 1997, when Jon joined as bassist (subsequently, Jon was replaced by Rick). Current Activities The Casualties have continued to produce high-energy recordings and they have done US and international tours (e.g., Europe, Japan, and Mexico). Their latest release is "Under Attack" on SideOneDummy Records and they are touring to promote the new album. Media Coverage A cover story in American Music Press (AMP) # 07 (Feb/Mar 2004) stated that “New York veterans THE CASUALTIES” sing about both social issues and “lighter subjects in life such as drinking and partying.” In December of 2003, THE CASUALTIES toured in Europe with German punk band FRONTKICK. Guitarist Jake stated that the band’s internet presence has helped them to get new fans. The band is headlined the Vans Warped Tour in 2004 summer, continuing to play a style of punk that the reviewer says is “inspired by bands like GBH and The Exploited”, and putting on what the reviewer calls “the fiercest punk shows around.” The review stated that ON THE FRONT LINE “is the band's classic sound with a touch of Oi style, but with a tighter, cleaner sound than previous albums.” According to Jake "If one day punk isn't popular anymore, we're not going to stop doing it. We look it, we love it, we live it."[1] Debates by fans Some punk fans argue that The Casualties have "sold out", while others claim the band has retained their punk values. Critics have called the band's look cliché. Defenders of the band aruge that the punk philosophy is more about a DIY (do it yourself) attitude than a style of dress (though this can be seen as hypocritical because the lyrics of the Casualties often imply clothes and hairstyles as a major definition of punk). The Casualties rose from a dying New York City scene in the early 1990s. According to Jorge: "If you want to unite, the best way is not to fight amongst ourselves, but against the idiots outside(Can't Stop Us, Mexico City Day 2, Mexico 2006).", although it is obvious that sometimes internal problems must be fixed in order to solve external ones. Also, some of the Casualties lyrics can be seen as hypocritical. The song "Politicians", for example, is critical of political lyrics in punk rock. However, most recently the band has started to incorporate political lyrics into their songs. Some members of the punk scene criticize The Casualties for changing their opinions to be seem more accepting to general audiences. For instance, the band has put out songs in the past suggesting violence towards hippies yet will make speeches at concerts about how accepting they are of people and their personal beliefs. Dispite popular thought, The Casualties are originally from Jersey City, New Jersey. They played some of their first shows in New York City though.
