Press

“But also present in this young band’s sound is the heaviness of modern metalcore. A lot of this has to do with the presence of the drumwork. Look at the beginning of tracks like “Queen’s Own Battalion” and “There’s No Fear Left in Anyone’s Eyes”. Each song diverges from the 30 second mark, but they both start with some well-placed rolls and double bass work to bring the heavy.”

— Hobbes Launderville, The NewReview

“A Casual Affair is anything but. Their tasteful blend of elements of post-hardcore and metal in their full-length debut, The Further, is something that caught my attention immediately. The young energy and disorganization of early hardcore and the Fugazi-driven post-hardcore movement has a definite character to it. All of the dissonance, ringing cymbals, and intentional messiness has unique appeal.”

— Hobbes Launderville, The NewReview

“I hear some southern flair and grooviness in many of their tracks, and guitarists Sean Prior and Jeremy Coleson should be recognized for a seriously fun one-two punch between the two of them. Even some bass can be heard, as the electric rumble from down under surfaces on several occasions on The Further.”

— Hobbes Launderville, The NewReview

“A Casual Affair possess many creative elements in creating their sound, which ends up sounding something like a close cousin to Fear Before the March of Flames, if they were influenced by Every Time I Die. ”
