we’re just gash thrash! seriously, huge fan of all that great melbourne stuff – these dudes (or ladies as it were), depression, civil dissident and of course the almighty death sentence…

& I know a lot of dudes on here are all cynic & jaded as hell about lyrics & political sentiments (hell, I am too) and I haven’t read Gash’s but just going by titles yeah they’re probably pretty silly but I still think it’s cool there was a band of women totally shredding it in 1985 & singing about sexism from a women’s perspective, I mean at that point in time wasn’t a lot of hardcore a total macho wasteland, like the only bands with girls were 3rd generation peace punks on Mortarhate – who, great as they were, didn’t shred – or whatever so it’s cool that there was least one women’s band that was tough as hell. anyway, I dunno about this 7″ but the LP is indeed great…

I remember seeing this band play for what seemed like almost every weekend for a while there in the mid-80′s. While Depression where doing not much Smeer was very busy drumming for this band. They had more of a Metal sound and the punters always seemed to be more Metalheads than punks. I thought they where great. They released another 7″ and two albums, and also had a cassette out.

i like this. i can let the lyrics slide. the girl sounds gritty. i remember readin an interview with them and depression in flipside in 87 and thinkin “them two bands picked a couple good punk band names”

We understand, milky. Perhaps the author can post an Anti Scrunti Faction record for you next. You can get a small fuel cell for about 8K in the US–enough to power my unabomber shack.

The reason I just spelled so many words incorrectly is that after reading the PROFOUND EARTH SHATTERING lyrics of Propaghandi, Gash, and The Casualties; I was put into an intellectual rapture and visions of Daffy Duck doing kegal exercises invaded my trembling blonde head! In the ABSOLUTE RAPTURE of this Duck-crotch-muscle-leftist-politics-thought spasm; I was simply too dizzy to correctly compose words.
Thank you and I am certain you all understand.

(electricity) rather.

On an aside; that fairy dust can be collected and used as it regulalry seeps out of the udders of HATHOR THE COW GODDESS.

If you don't know who HATHOR is; please, please look her up and cringe in horror at this hippie grotesquery who broods with more evil than Dracula's Satanic blood.

Well wait a second, what the hell does that lyric even mean? The last time I checked alternative fuel sources (which MIGHT be what their talking about) require money to produce and the industry that creates the fuel source is going to have to depend on money in order to pay it’s workers and mantain the equipment that generates the fuel.
So I think that The Casualities mean they don’t want a cheaper alternative fuel because they still have to pay for it and would much rather have cars and electricty generated by fairy dust.

Example of The Casualties new lyrical bent (taken from punknews):
“Without Warning” discusses the impending extinction of the world’s oil source and has the biting line “They don’t give us an alternative if they can’t make money out of it.”

Woah… What a BITING line that is! Don’t get cut on that edge…
