+ Special Guests: Rumkicks (South Korea Punx) & Antinorm (Hardcore Punk Berlin)
The Casualties are an iconic street punk band formed on the tough streets of New York City's Lower East Side during the early 90s.
The Casualties have been releasing albums continuously for three decades and have traveled the world from Guatemala to Estonia.
"You have to be a good live band to survive," says Jake Kolatis, the band's lead guitarist since 1993, with the release of their first album "For The Punx" in 1997. The band's energy on stage and hardcore fans of The Casualties Army are in constant motion.
In 2018, the band recruited David Rodriguez as The Casualties' new singer and frontman. With renewed energy and a thirst for the road, the band released "Written In Blood". This album was so well received that the record company couldn't keep up with the demand. Shortly after, "Until Death" was released with full force - a collection of previously released smash hits with the new line-up.
As the band heads into the summer of 2023, they continue to write a new album for release in 2024. They are currently preparing for an extensive European tour in the fall. There's no stopping a true punk band in today's decaying world, and The Casualties will be there to ignite it acoustically!
