C'è chi mi chiede come faccio ad ascoltare i Beatles e allo stesso tempo i Casualties, che sono un gruppo che produce solo un bel po' di frastuono, rumore inutile e superficiale.
Io credo che queste persone siano di un'ignoranza sovraumana e nonostante non abbiano capito nulla della filosofia Punk e Hardcore si permettono anche di criticare con giudizi subdoli e sporadici.
I Casualties, importantissima realtà del panorama Hardcore di ultima fattura, sono uno dei gruppi Punk più coinvolgenti e meritevoli dell'ultimo decennio. Fautori di un Hardcore Punk Rock con fortissime influenze Oi! sia sul campo delle tematiche che su quelo musicale, i Casualties nel con il loro 1997 "For The Punx" ribadiscono che il punk ha ancora qualcosa da dire, che non è solo una luce fioca che rimane accesa nei cuori di qualche nostalgico.
L'album è un continuo susseguirsi di pezzi frenetici che non danno tregua all'ascoltatore, conditi ad un cantato sgraziato e senza ritegno che racconta di onore, di corruzione politica, di società e di amore per il Punk-Rock come cita la canzone "Punk Rock Love", loro inno e punto cruciale in ogni esibizione live. Il punto forte del disco sono i cori in perfetto stile Oi! skinhead davvero ben riusciti e carichi di adrenalina, che ricordano molto il punk '70 che tanto è caro ai gruppi di nuova generazione. Le canzoni da menzionare sono sicuramente l'opener "For The Punx" (una vera e propria dichiarazione di intenti), la devastante "Riot" che denota la voglia di rivoluzione del singer che urla con una furia straziante e immane e l'omonima "Casualties".
Sicuramente il miglior album di una discografia ricca di successo. Semplicemente furore allo stato puro.

01 For the Punx (02:34)
You always put us down
Cause we spike our hair
Bondage trousers and dyed hair
I'll never change my ways
Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to wear
I'm gonna do it as I please
That's the way we live
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO SAY
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO WEAR
OI! OI! WE'RE THE PUNKS OF TODAY (SPIKEY HAIR DRUNK PUNKS)
AND WE'RE PUNKS HERE TO STAY!!!
Who let these egotistical bastards
Get into our scene
Preaching Politics and they tell me how to be
They want to be preaching anarchy
But I'll break their rules that
I was never part of it
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO SAY
HOW TO BE OR WHAT TO WEAR
OI! OI! WE'RE THE PUNKS OF TODAY (SPIKEY HAIR DRUNK PUNKS)
AND WE'RE PUNKS HERE TO STAY!!!
It's a way of life, Never change your ways

09 Destruction and Hate (01:51)
Destruction and hate in the world today
I wanna see blood on your face
People tell you this and people tell you that
Can't you see that they're all full of crap?
When you go to school
Or when you go to work
There's always somebody
To tell you what to do
When you are at home
Your parents pick on you
Don't you think it's time to leave
And make it on your own
Think for yourself!
Destruction and hate in the world today
I fucking love this hate
When you see the news there is always hate
Why should I care when no one gives a damn?
When I go to school and when I go to work
Always see somebody getting mugged
Out on the streets all alone
I feel full of anger of my own
Destruction and Hate in this world today
I love this anger in my head
When I go to school
When I go to work
Always getting beaten
Because I'm a punk
Punk, Punk, Punk, Punk
Say it one more time you scums
Fuck you cunt!!!
Cunt!!!
Fucking Hate!
10 Two Faced (01:41)
All you hypocrites out there always
Telling fucking lies
Always Talking behind my back
Every fucking chance you get
Two Faced - I know your name
Two Faced - I know your game
Two Faced - I know your kind
Two Faced - You're Full of Shit
You're a two faced cunt
So you're coming once again
Telling lies to all my friends
Always telling bullshit lies
Every fucking chance you get
So you do it one more time
Spreading rumors and spreading lies
Always telling bullshit lies
Every fucking chance you can.
12 Punk Rock Love (01:48)
Into a scene, full of lies
Met you there, you seem alright
Gave you love, Gave you a heart
All you gave me broken heart
Broken heart, I want it back
Broken heart, I got it back
Oh my love, Oh my dear
What I gave you was so dear
Oh my love Oh my dear
What I gave you was so dear
Loved you dear, just so dear
Loved you dear, Oh so dear
Gave you love, Gave you heart
All you gave me broken heart
Gave you love, Gave you heart
All you gave me broken heart
Broken heart, I want it back
Broken heart, I got it back
[Solo]
Gave you love, Gave you heart
All you gave me broken heart
Gave you love, Gave you heart
All you gave me broken heart
Broken heart, I want it back
Broken heart, I got it back
Punk rock love!
