The Casualties

The Casualties members aimed to return to what they viewed as the "golden era" of street punk, embodied by bands such as The Exploited Charged GBH and Discharge (band), which they believed had disappeared by 1985. During the early years, the lineup has never changed. The initial lineup consisted of Colin and Jorge on vocals, Yureesh on drums, Hank on guitar, and Mark on bass. Colin stepped out for several months to finish his education while Rachel, Rivits' singer, took his place.

At this point, Colin, Jorge, Yureesh, and Mark put together a demo. Fred replaced Hank, but then Fred left to go to school, and Scott from C Squat filled in. Another guitarist, Steve, from Distraught, also filled in during this period. The EP 40 Oz. Casualty was recorded. By 1992, the band was touring and building up a fan base in NYC. In 1993, bassist Mark and guitarist Fred were replaced by Mike and Jake, respectively and Yureesh was replaced by Shawn on drums in 1994. In 1995 the band's second release, the "A Fuckin Way Of Life" E.P. was released on Eyeball records. In 1996 Shawn left the band and Meggers of the Rivits came to fill in and became the regular drummer. The line-up of Jorge, Jake, Mike and Meggers continued until 1997, when Jon (Of The Krays) joined as bassist. (subsequently, Jon was replaced by Rick).

The Casualties have continued to produce high-energy recordings and they have done US and international tours (e.g., Europe, Japan, and Mexico). Their latest release is Under Attack on SideOneDummy Records and they toured virtually non-stop since July 2006 in support of the new album.


Bili su prošle godine na Viva le punku u Boogaloo-u, slikala sam se sa basistom i bubnjarem, malo su umišljeni za svoj status, Jorge uopće nije htio pričati, ali rekoh hajde dobro, Ameri su
Imaju oke pjesme, iako im se neke ponavljaju na nekim albumima i neke liče jedna na drugu.
