for me they are just punk's gravestone. They seem to symbolise all that is the fake steretype of punk rock, Joe Strummer would be turning in his grave!
Ya, pits are definite hawk killers, tho I doubt if the casuals even take the risk of they're hawk fallin down, mayb they just use the carspray. I dunno,.
And it doesn't help that I'd never seen them at any local shows where I used to live, in their hometown...
I guess they're too "punx" to support their local scene.
DOn't be so hasty comparing rancid to the casualties, I must admit I like theyr gear a bit. But they got a long way to go till theyr at Rancid's level .. I won't associate you with the mohawks suck person (curse him:P) but isn't the fashion what attracts most young people into punk? .. I'm not that old myself but anyways. what I mostly hate about the casualties is that they are the sort of persons who buy 100 quid pants and fuck those up, while I prefer goin to a dump and buy it there. I think they're thinkin they're o so punk, but in meanwhile they forgot what 'punk' really is. Cause I doubt if they ever stud/patch theyr own jackets ..
