The Casualties

NY, US · 1990–present · active
Founded in New York City in 1990, The Casualties are one of the most tenacious street punk bands to emerge from the American underground, taking their template from the Exploited, Charged GBH, and the UK's first-wave Oi! scene. Their debut album For the Punx (1997) launched a relentlessly productive career that has produced over ten studio albums, including the Season of Mist-released Resistance (2012) and Chaos Sound (2016), with the band performing on main stages at the Vans Warped Tour and first American shows in London's Holidays in the Sun Festival as early as 1996. Fronted since 2018 by former Krum Bums vocalist David Rodriguez, the band continued recording as of 2025.

The Drowns

Seattle, WA, US · 2017–present · active
The Drowns make blue-collar punk rock and roll that treats street-punk urgency and classic rock swagger as the same conversation. View From the Bottom and Under Tension established the band as a rough, melodic outfit built around shouted choruses, working-class storytelling, and guitars that favor bite over polish. Lunatics gave the songwriting more confidence, splitting vocal personality between Aaron "Rev" Peters' raspier attack and Andy Wylie's more melodic delivery while keeping the band's political and everyday-life concerns up front. Blacked Out is the fullest version of their sound, recorded again with producer Ted Hutt and packed with boogie-woogie roots, glam-stomp energy, bovver-rock swing, and '77-style anthem writing. Songs like "1979 Trans Am," "Just the Way She Goes," "Ketamine & Cola," and the title track show how naturally they can move from rowdy hooks to lived-in detail. The Drowns are not chasing nostalgia as a costume. Their songs feel like modern barroom punk built by record collectors, touring lifers, and players who understand that a simple chorus only works when the band hits it with conviction.

Uk Subs

London, England, GB · 1976–present · active
Uk Subs are one of the long-running names of first-wave British punk, formed in London in 1976 and anchored by vocalist Charlie Harper. Emerging from pub rock and rhythm-and-blues roots, the band quickly accelerated into a tougher punk sound marked by short songs, shouted choruses, and a relentless touring ethic. Their early records, including Another Kind of Blues, Brand New Age, Diminished Responsibility, and Endangered Species, helped define a rawer second phase of British punk that fed directly into street punk and hardcore. The band became known not only for songs such as "Stranglehold," "Warhead," and "Riot," but also for a discography that famously moved through alphabetically titled albums across decades. Lineups changed often, yet Harper's voice and the band's direct, high-energy approach kept the identity intact. Uk Subs' history is unusually durable: a working punk band that carried the urgency of 1977 into later eras without smoothing away its rough edges.
