The Casualties

Die Hards

Side One Dummy

Loud, obnoxious, grating punk rock from a bunch of New York gutter punks pretty much summarizes this album. Subjects include: being victims of society, rejects of society, disapproval of the current punk rock scene, drunken chants, etc. etc. It did rank disappointingly low on the Oi-ometer, though. I would say this is entertaining in small doses, but did not inspire me to grow a mohawk.
