The Casualties Return with "People Over Power," First Original Song in Eight Years

"We're getting stomped by the world, by the government, by the bad news,"

"We want systemic change, total transformation, degradation to the state. 'People over Power': It's as simple as it sounds."

"It's a protest song through and through. We want the vibe to be: You listen, get angry, get your crew together, and get out on the streets."

The Casualties released 'People Over Power,' a two-and-a-half-minute politically charged punk anthem and their first original song in eight years. The track features high-speed drumming, simple chugging chords, and grizzled lead vocals. Lyrics call for systemic change, total transformation, and degradation of the state, encapsulated by the phrase 'People over Power.' The song is framed as a protest anthem intended to incite anger and street action. The band has released only one full-length since 2017 (2018's Written in Blood) but has remained active with a recent Motörhead tribute cover. The single arrives via Hellcat Records and is available for streaming.
