Today, punk lifers The Casualties break an eight-year hiatus with their blistering new single People Over Power, the band’s first release via Hellcat Records. Starting off the year with a lethal right-hook to the chin of the system, the track’s roaring bark is a call to imploring us all to fight back against injustice. The Casualties are the voice of the disenfranchised, the disillusioned and the dispossessed of this planet. The band originally formed in 1990, but these street fighters are still angry, still political and are still keeping the heart and spirit of punk alive. Founded on a mission to revive the sound of punk pioneers like The Exploited and Sex Pistols, they lyrically weave in scathing denouncements of authority into frantic anthems of resistance. This coming March, The Casualties will be coming over to the UK playing the Scarborough Punk Festival and in June they will return to Europe for a run of festival and headline shows.
“We’re getting stomped by the world, by the government, by the bad news. We want systemic change, total transformation, degradation to the state. ‘People over Power’: It’s as simple as it sounds. It’s a protest song through and through. We want the vibe to be: You listen, get angry, get your crew together, and get out on the streets.”
