    Casual Burn are a femme-fronted punk rock band from the swamps of New Orleans. Their debut full length “Mean Thing” is a haunting punk rock stomp with goth and surf undertones, sludgy downshifts, and a few noisy freak-outs. Everything is held together by Monet’s hypnotic vocal style, a sonic sister of Siouxsie Sioux and Alice Bag. Catchy melodies and strong songwriting chops contrast with the blown-out garage vibe of an ‘80s punk record.

lyrics

Got something to show
for the smiles and bows
that will take me down

Got nothing to lose
cause the heresy proves
I'm already ruined

Got something to take
break it up let me shake
until it's through

Got nowhere to go
cause I've already been
over there too

You can't take it back from me
what I want
you can't keep
You can't take it back from me
it's not a piece of paper
not a damn receipt
Everything is gonna be just fine
just shut up let me keep what’s mine
Put it down and now walk away
everything's gonna be okay

Take a chance on a limb
are you looking too thin
do you need to eat?

Take a page from my book
is it something they took
that you'd rather leave?

Take a good look around
is it easily found
without a key?

Is it better you're here
oh come on baby, dear,
you can tell me

You can't take it back from me
what I want you can't keep
You can't take it back from me
it's a pile of lies and they're all free
Everybody's gotta something to say
these days we just give it away
Turn around now and count to ten
jump the line and we'll start again

what a line
what a line
what a line
what a line

and again and again and again and again
facing her facing her facing her facing her
