The Casualties “We are all we have”

The Casualties have always been one of the bands many people first get into after the traditional staples of punk rock (The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kenndys). With 6 other releases in the past years and countless tours and shows The Casualties have defined the sloppy loud punk rock sound while still being incredibly talented both lyrically and musically and more importantly their ability to super charge a crowd into a frenzy.

“We are all we have” is the 7th studio release by The Casualties over the past 17 years! It’s hard to believe these guys have been around that long but it really shows in their music. These guys have done everything and learned many of those life lessons people always talk about how you will understand when your older.

“We are all we have” has many of the traditional songs you will expect from previous releases from The Casualties. They do their anthem songs like the song “We are all we have” which is a powerful energetic throw your fist in the air and sing along that you would expect and demand from The Casualties. But these album has been changed up a bit from their previous releases. There is a Reggae/Dub song “Rockers Reggae). Yes you heard that right. It’s still a pretty good song though considering (that its Reggae) and have a good flow through the rest of the album as is the last song on the album.

These release has plenty of great stomp around and PBR splling anthems though the album. The album starts off with “Carry on the Flag” which I can see bing a total show starting song. Listening to it will make you imangian you are are a live show and the crowd just erupting into the expected chaos and anticipation.

If you are a fan of past Casualties albums then I don’t have to tell you to get this album. If you like fast back breaking punk rock with a bit of spit and snot then you will love this album.
