INTERVIEW


It's not everyday that you get to meet some of the most down to earth, hardcore bands in the world. - It is the Casualties - representin' East Coast Punx, straght from da' street. Through some close connections with the band's manager, last month I was able to obtain about 10 minutes of their time to conduct this interview.

Right away I was in awe of their brightly colored hair and intricate body piercings,and I knew that these guys meant real buisness. I was a little skeptical at first when the band members started off by offering me 40s, because I figured they might kill me with their spikes if I said no. However, I had to be brave. Never again would I have this opprotunity.
