Featuring former Boysetsfire vocalist, Nathan Gray and guitarist Josh Latshaw.

So Nathan was in a band called BoySetsFire. They did ok, then they broke up. So the Casting Out started, first with some terrible name that (THANK GOD!) was already taken, played some shows, lost some members, got some members, changed their sound, (yeah I know…it “evolved”) It got louder. More raucous. More fun. More of that good stuff that keeps you coming back. Catchier than a plateful of syphalitic lepers. EW. They started touring in a crappy van that broke down. Of course they did. Who didn’t? Played to smatterings of people who began disinterested, but were slowly (so slowly!) run over by their dynamic stage show. But they are doing it the way you are supposed to. They are sleeping on floors. They are eating pasta. Playing freaking VFWs, Which is fine for all the retards out there with their first band who are just excited to get out of Arkansas, But Nathan is no spring chicken. He ain’t even a Winter Goose. He has been touring since he was 20 which was nearly two decades ago. When he started touring, gas was ninety cents a gallon. When he started touring, no-one had cell phones. We used this cracked out gadget called the “Straight Edge Dialer” which somehow imitated the sonic patterns of quarters dropping into the slot. We would gather around a pay-phone and use it to call home and try to get shows. When he started touring, there was no major-label debate because major-labels simply did not sign punk or hardcore bands. When he started touring the internet was a mere gleam in Al Gore’s nutsack. When he started touring, people bought cds. Yeah, I know… That long ago.

    Yeah, it was the only one I could find and the old one was well out of date. Doesn't matter now as hopefully BSF are back for a while; but these songs are still amazing.

    probably because it's the only band bio actually written by the band. it's just not funny anymore as it no longer applies, obviously.

    Wow, this has to be the worst band biography i've ever read on last.fm.

    Christmas CAN be awesome. Especially when the latest The Casting Out record lies under the tree. It really sounds "weird" at first. It's especially cool, that they even recorded what they said between the songs. But seriously: the booklet is a joke, right? :-(

    They're breaking up, too. At least they will be on indefinite hiatus after the european tour. I should go see them once more maybe...

    New Records is cool, but I don't think I'll ever like anything from them as much as the first EP.
