When people talk about street punk, this is the silhouette that comes to mind. New York City’s own The Casualties have been flying the flag for the genre since 1990, being one of the few bands to successfully transport the grit and rage of basement clubs to massive festival stages without losing an ounce of authenticity. With gravity-defying mohawks and studded leather jackets, they look like the walking definition of punk, but don’t let the visuals fool you—this isn’t a fashion show, it’s musical warfare.
Even after a frontman change, with the energetic David Rodriguez (Starving Wolves, ex-Krum Bums) taking the mic, the band hasn't lost momentum; in fact, they feel more alive and aggressive than ever. Their sets are a whirlwind of rapid-fire drumming, gang vocals screamed by the entire crowd, and politically sharp lyrics that hit straight home. With albums like For the Punx or the more recent Written in Blood, they prove that "Punk's Not Dead" isn't just a catchphrase, but a lifestyle.
