The punk rock scene has always been known for its rebellious and anti-establishment attitude, but in 2020, a new album from The Old Firm Casuals is shaking up the status quo. Titled A Butchers Banquet, this album released by Pirates Press Records is a raw and unapologetic commentary on the state of the world today.

Formed in 2010, The Old Firm Casuals is a punk rock band from San Francisco, California, consisting of members Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), Casey Watson (Nevada Black), and Paul Rivas (The Unseen). With their unique blend of punk, oi, and hardcore, the band has gained a loyal following and critical acclaim for their energetic live performances and socially conscious lyrics.

A Butchers Banquet, released on March 31, 2020, is the band's third full-length album and their first release on Pirates Press Records. It is a 10-track album that tackles a range of issues, from political corruption and social inequality to personal struggles and the current state of punk rock.

The album opens with the explosive track "Get Out of Our Way," a call to arms for anyone who has ever felt oppressed or marginalized. With lyrics like "We're the voice of the voiceless, we're the ones who won't back down," the band sets the tone for the rest of the album - unapologetically standing up against injustice and fighting for what they believe in.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Casual Rock-N-Roll," a tribute to the punk rock lifestyle and the sense of community it brings. The song celebrates the unity and camaraderie found in the punk scene, with lyrics like "We're all in this together, through the good times and the bad. We'll always have each other, in this casual rock-n-roll."

But A Butchers Banquet is not just about punk rock and rebellion; it also delves into more personal and emotional themes. "Traitor" is a raw and honest song about betrayal and the pain it brings. With haunting lyrics and a powerful chorus, the song showcases the band's ability to connect with listeners on a deeper level.

The album also features a cover of the classic punk song "Election Day" by The Lurkers, which is a timely addition considering the current political climate. The Old Firm Casuals put their own spin on the song, infusing it with their signature sound and making it relevant to the present day.

Overall, A Butchers Banquet is a testament to The Old Firm Casuals' evolution as a band and their commitment to staying true to their roots. With this album, they have proven that punk rock is not just about loud music and rebellion, but also about using their platform to speak out against injustice and make a difference in the world.

In an interview with Pirates Press Records, Lars Frederiksen stated, "We're not just a punk band, we're a band of punks. We have a voice and we're going to use it." And that is exactly what they have done with A Butchers Banquet - using their music to address important issues and inspire change.

In these uncertain times, A Butchers Banquet is a much-needed reminder of the power of punk rock and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. The Old Firm Casuals have once again proven that they are not just a band, but a force to be reckoned with. So crank up the volume, raise your fist, and join them in their Butchers Banquet.
