Free Music Notes for On the Front Line
Free Music Review: Just like older Casualties, with a little extra
Hit: 4 Stars
This is the release that put The Casualties on the map. Well, sort of. It didn't exactly go gold but it certainly helped make them much more popular than they ever were before. While its similiar to older Casualties' releases in that its fast hardcore/punk it also has much better production and the musicianship is also better though still far from perfect. The lyrics have also changed with fewer generic songs about how they are punks, love to drink and party ect. ect. and more songs that deal with political issues, the media, and war. Unknown Soldier is one of these tracks and is also one of the best on the album. Its lyrics about a soldier who dies in combat possess an anti-war message without being too preachy while the series of "whoa"'s throughtout it make it somewhat of an anthem. Sounds From the Streets has a catchy chorus that will get stuck in your head while Static Feedback and Noise lets everyone know how the Casualties feel about the state of music today. Other stand out songs are the title track and Death Toll, both of which feature plenty of gang vocals and those generic but oh so enjoyable punk riffs.Tragedy isn't quite as hard as the rest of the album but its another catchy song with lots of "whoa"s.
If you like older Casualties or are a fan of hard music in general you should like this too. And as long as you can ignore the obnoxious Hot Topic addicted new fans they've picked up thanks to their popularity its also more than worth it to see them live.
On the Front Line Poster
Their previous LP, "Die Hards", solidified NYC's Casualties as the kings of the current gutter punk movement. Two years of touring with the likes of Bad Religion, The Dropkick Murphys, TSOL, The Bouncing Souls, and the Warped Tour lifted the band's profile. Now they're ready to leave their scar on the modern punk masses with "On The Front Line" which captures the sonic assault that's been the trademark of their live performances.Alternative Rock Music CDs
