   About It's Casual
 

IT'S CASUAL: THE NEW LOS ANGELES
It’s hard to digest the minutiae of society while traveling the freeways of Los Angeles in the comfort of a car at sixty miles per hour. Typically lined on both sides by cinder block walls, the L.A. freeways are mere pipelines of travel, often scurrying residents through neighborhoods of both low and high-income within mere minutes, barely offering a scant glimpse of what happens at the ends of those off-ramps.

But when It’s Casual vocalist/guitarist Edward Solis leaves his eastern Los Angeles-based residence to make his daily hour-long commute to Hollywood, he’s able to form an entirely new perspective. Solis, a rare, unlicensed Angelino, relies solely on public transportation to make his way around. The bus routes and train line on which he rides meander on surface streets, cutting across both decorative and distressed neighborhoods.

Armed with nothing more than a hard, plastic seat perched aside an etched window and his keen observations, Solis has been able to capture his interpretation of Los Angeles life via It’s Casual’s third album, The New Los Angeles.

It’s Casual, also featuring drummer W.C.E., has been performing since the late ‘90s throughout Southern California. The summer of 2002 found the pair outside the state’s borders, as part of the Vans Warped Tour, promoting its debut, Buicregl. In 2004, It’s Casual took a couple days off (yes, literally a couple) to record its second album, Stop Listening To Bad Music. The album found Solis upping the ante on his straightforward delivery of life in the large city.

After returning home from a summer tour in 2006, It’s Casual entered the studio with producer Sergio J. Chavez for a third album session. The resulting ten-song collection, The New Los Angeles, finds the band more focused than ever, with its hard-hitting, riff-packed hardcore punk/metal delivery that rubs shoulders with the best of Black Flag, Fu Manchu, Motorhead and Bl’ast.

The song titles themselves are enough to mold a basic expectation. The album launches with the title track, which reveals a lack of communication amongst residents. Child negligence concerns are addressed via “Too Many Kids,” while “The Red Line” flags the horrors of freeway traffic when suitable alternatives already exist. “L.A.P.D.” speaks of law enforcement’s scramble (and sometimes failure) to protect a city bursting at its seams and “Navigator” points the fi nger at those who parade the streets with just a façade of wealth.

X released Los Angeles in 1977 and Ry Cooder’s Chavez Ravine might’ve addressed the City of Angels to some extent. But never before has the nation’s largest city been so thoroughly documented as on It’s Casual’s latest, The New Los Angeles. It’s the new Los Angeles!

TONIGHT at the Verdugo Bar!!!

Vinyl Party Boys presents a night of rock n roll celebratory as Brant
Bjork, Cale Bunker, & theREASON spin vinyl, show films, and, well,
party for the re-release of Brant Bjork's Jalamanta. We will each get
behind the turn tables to bring you the rock and Cale will be spinning
from the LDP catalog as well as some other desert rarities. 3408 Verdugo Rd. Los Angeles, CA 90065

Here the skinny on the reason we are doing this:

So to commemorate 10 years of this rock n roll classic Low Desert Punk is
reissuing it on 180 gram virgin vinyl with a 24 page full size booklet,
new photos, lyrics, & liner notes in an embossed gatefold cover and
it will be limited to 1000 copies. We will be selling it at this event
for less than you will get it anywhere on-line or in stores! We may
have some other LDP stuff as well, so come down and see what happens.
