The Old Firm Casuals' sound, message, and passion will not be limited by genre labels. They are simply a true force to be reckoned with. Lars Frederiksen (Rancid) and his band of crusaders continue to push the boundaries of songwriting with this album, showcasing an ever-evolving sound, as one would expect from such seasoned musicians. With "Holger Danske," The Old Firm Casuals bring an intensity and focus not seen before in the band's previous releases. "Motherland" is an infectous anthem, inspired by his mother, a Danish immigrant. "Casual Rock -N- Roll" channels classic AC/DC, and the epic "Zombie" feels like a long-lost Motorhead song. By weaving this treasure trove of thematic and musical influences with Frederiksen's own signature sound and highly outspoken and unfiltered lyrics, TOFC have delivered an album that will certainly turn heads fast, and likely warrant itself as an early contender for record of the year. It's tough as nails, and shows a very talented band truly at their best; breaking barriers and stereotypes, and exemplifying the hooks and licks that cause so many people to love them.

Press Quotes
'That theme, of working-class, street-level anger runs though the whole album. The title track, as well as 'Motherland' and 'Get Out of Our Way,' are highlights of an album that gloriously recalls the spit and fury of The Exploited, the U.K. Subs and the like.'
—Album of the week
'this album varies between mile-a-minute hardcore and boot-stomping street punk, and it's ripper after ripper.'
—Brooklyn Vegan
'With the Old Firm Casuals, Lars Frederiksen has found an outlet to forge new chemistry with like-minded musical souls, sound the warning cry for the nation to right itself and pay homage to his record collection, featuring every kind of loud guitar-power
