The Casualties – “We are all we have”

Originally released in 2009 through SideOneDummy Records, We Are All We Have represents a sharp sonic expansion for the New York City street-punk mainstays The Casualties. Recorded at The Blasting Room under the production guidance of Bill Stevenson of Descendents, the record maintains the band’s signature high-speed anthems while incorporating distinct elements of crossover thrash and reggae. Drawing clear stylistic links to the aggressive stance of The Exploited and the rhythmic experimentation of The Clash, the album features broader instrumentation and a dynamic songwriting scope. Tracks like the title cut We Are All We Have, the politically charged War Is Business, and the experimental rhythm architecture of Rockers’ Reggae (Working Man’s Dub) highlight a veteran outfit confidently progressing their sound without sacrificing their foundational underground roots.
