However, whereas the delivery is sweet terror, the subject matter is a path beaten hard by many combat boots before: An army of street thugs accused of a crime they didn't commit vows allegiance to our heroes. This paramilitary organization then roams the night in search of revenge, justice or beer -- whichever comes first. The Casualties' music is just as valid -- and hackneyed -- as love ballads; for those more inclined to bare knuckles than baring their souls, it's the same level of cliche with just a bit more bite.
