 DIGITAL ONLY
It’s Casual are an impossibly loud punk/hardcore duo.  Onstage, singer/song writer/guitar player, Eddie Solis’ eyes bulge amid a shock of curly hair, his throat emitting the collective war cry of a million frustrated commuters: “Los Angeles! There’s too many people! I want them to go away!” 
After nearly 10 years of ceaseless yelling, It’s Casual had a busy year with slots on Fu Manchu’s North American tour, a west coast tour, and split 7” with Early Man, and recording/releasing a sequel to their ’08 ode to the city, The New Los Angeles. 
It’s Casual formed in 2001.  The band’s sonic boom is amazing, considering there are only tw of them.  The secret to their sound is a unique pedal and mic’ing system.  Solis’ guitar is actually wired to two amps for added punch. 
It’s Casual’s first record, The New Los Angeles, was inspired by Solis’ commute from Pico Rivera to Hollywood.  Tracks include “EZ Pass” about the public transit ticket, and “The Red Line.”  Most of their songs last around two minutes and contain no more than three or four lyrics, hammering home their message with a directness most public servants and council officials have yet to master. 
It’s not all subways and off-ramps.  Solis ventures into other matters.  “Cholas Are Loyal” for example is all about the advantages of dating Latinas.  
It’s Casual’s new album, The New Los Angeles II: Less Violence, More Violins, is inspired primarily by the California education budget deficit.
