FRANTICS 
It's Casual [20th Anniversary Edition]

Vintage snot!  Following up a trifecta of indie label EPs, It's Casual was the debut LP from the Frantics.  Recorded in the summer of 1997 and circulated on cassette tape, totally D.I.Y.  It was hotly anticipated and it did not disappoint.  Vital '90s skate punk.  The album was cranked at ramps and empty swimming pools across the USA, as the band became the blueprint for snotcore.

An instant classic, It's Casual was pressed as a special 10" vinyl record the next year.  In 2005, the album received two separate re-issues, an MP3 download and a semi-legit DVD video.  In honor of its twentieth birthday, It's Casual is now available in lossless audio quality for the first time!
