Jorge Leaves The Casualties

The Casualties

Jorge Herrera has left The Casualties:

After 27 years of performing with the band, Jorge has chosen that the touring life is no longer for him. With that said, The Casualties will carry on. As anyone who follows us knows, the name The Casualties is stronger then any one member. The songs written in basements throughout New York City shall continue to ring loud. We will continue our commitment to the Casualties Army! We will tour and put forward new anthems for many more years to come. When we said “it’s a f*cking way of life” back in the beginning, we meant it.
