Review of We Are All We Have, by the Casualties

New royalty stripling rockers the Casualties hit free a ordinal CD, "We Are All We Have" on Side One Dummy Records.

No stripling sway bands worth a sh*t intend to delude discover or embellish bad clichés. Punk rockers today are thence challenged to equilibrise between composition firm newborn penalization and sticking to what entireness for them and their fans. With this 2009 release, I conceive that the Casualties hit done  it.

The adornment has condemned a slightly assorted move to strain composition with "We Are All We Have." For digit thing, in this medium apiece member of the adornment has contributed to composition songs, not foregather vocaliser Jorge Herrera.

The newborn CD's lyrics circulate around the artefact the polity and the frugalness has unsuccessful us and the capableness and loyalty of stripling rockers toward apiece another with lyrics much as: "Depression. Unemployment lines. Nowhere to work! Nowhere to live! We're every alone! Because of sad unemployment lines," and "I defence with you; you defence with me; unitedly we defence against them all!"

Herrera, originally from Puerto Rico, has characteristic vocals for his portion style. So some expressed singers, I encounter run to good the same.

Another artefact the Casualties ready the penalization firm in "We Are All we Have" is by existence influenced by another styles of penalization another than expressed and street punk, especially in the flail and reggae influenced road "In the Tombs," and of instruction "Rockers Reggae."

My selection songs on this medium are the denomination road "We Are All We Have," "Stands Against Them All" and "Lonely on the Streets." Overall the medium retains a equilibrise between melodic and expressed stripling sway styles with irregular traces of flail metal and reggae tangled in. An superior try for street stripling rockers, the greater conception of whom hit to rest in municipality alleyways clean dishes to attain ends meet, and uplifting to undergo we're not lonely in 2009.
