Politics. Hatred. Endless war. We doomscroll as our rights are stripped away. Bombings. Kidnappings. Mass shootings. The nightly news is a litany of brutality. Assassination. Subjugation. Deportation. We argue with each other while the rich get richer and cruelty is normalized. These are just a few of the reasons why the title of The Casualties new album is Detonate.

Detonate is the second chapter in a new epoch for The Casualties. As their second album with David Rodriguez at the mic, it solidifies the vocalists partnership with drummer Marc Meggers Eggers and guitarist Jake Kolatis. Its like a new era for the band, Meggers says. It solidifies that Dave is here to stay.

As the follow-up to 2018s Written in Blood and their first record for Hellcat Recordsthe Epitaph subsidiary curated by Tim Armstrong of RancidDetonate sees this new version of The Casualties locking into place. We were in the studio for Written in Blood about eight months after I joined, Rodriguez says. With this new record, we really grew together. For me, its the proud moment where we clicked the three Legos together.
