Casual - s/t LP

Full-length debut from this New Jersey melodic, indie pop-punk band. Ex-members of NONA, Caseracer, Pinkus & more. “The members of Casual have been the catalyst for keeping the tiny suburban community of Flemington, New Jersey on the punk map over the past five years. Through a “members of” list that’s nearly a decade long and four states wide, as well as their involvement with a DIY space that’s become a home to touring bands looking for a spot to play between Philly and New York, their brand of witty, technical “pot punk” has been turning heads for a couple of years. Now, Casual – guitarists Mike Haller and Jeff Hersch, bassist Liz Parsons, and drummer Joe Brendel – is finally dropping their self-titled full length on Square of Opposition and Dead Broke Rekerds.
