The band originally formed in 1990, but these street fighters are still angry, still political and are still keeping the heart and spirit of punk alive. Founded on a mission to revive the sound of punk pioneers like The Exploited and The Sex Pistols, they lyrically weave in scathing denouncements of authority into frantic<br>anthems of resistance, totalling to eleven studio full-lengths, three EPs and three live albums so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Casualties are David Rodriguez (vocalist), Jake Kolatis (guitarist), Marc \u201cMeggers\u201d Eggers (drums) and Doug Wellmon (bass).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In March, the Casualties will be coming over to the UK to play the Scarborough Punk Festival. In June, they will return to Europe for a run of festivals and headline shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br>See below for the confirmed dates so far, more dates will follow.<br>More info + ticket links are available HERE.<br>March 29 &#8211; Scarborough (UK) @ Scarborough Punk Festival<br>June 6- Linz (AT) @ Sb\u00e4m Festival|<br>June 12- Torgau (DE) @ Ain&#8217;t Like You Festival|<br>June 20- Etxebarri (ES) @ Ehuneko Bat<br>June 26- Rennes (FR) @ Superbowl Of Hardcore<br>June 27- M\u00fcnster (DE) @ Vainstream Rockfest<br>June 28- Tabor (CZ) @ Mighty Sounds<br>July 10- Pr\u00f6lsdorf (DE) @ Krach Am Bach<br>July 25 \u2013 Hohenems (DE) @ Speedfest<br>July 30- Argenta (IT) @ DLB Festival<br>July 31- St Maurice de Gordans (FR) @ Sylak Open Air<br>August 6- Jaromer (CZ) @ Brutal Assault<br>August 7- Ancora Praia (PT) @ Sonic Blast Festival<br>August 8 &#8211; Duffel (BE) @ Brakrock<br>August 11- Tolmin (SI) @ Punkrock Holiday<br>August 15- Carhaix (FR) @ Motocultor<br>August 20- Loburg (DE) @ Spirit Festival<br>August 22- Oostkamp (BE) &#8211; Parkpop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Casualties Online &#8211; INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | X | YOUTUBE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First New Music In 8 Years Via Hellcat Records UK\/EU 2026 Tour Dates Announced Today, punk lifers The Casualties break an eight-year hiatus with their blistering new single \u201cPeople Over Power\u201d, the band\u2019s first release via Hellcat Records.
