When Casey announced their split at the tail-end of 2018, there was an expectation that we would never hear from them again. Putting to bed an emotional whirlwind of a five-year career, their music captured a particular intensity that many bands never even get close to achieving.

This past Vans Warped Tour weekend was jam-packed with thrilling bands, rad skateboarders (including the Tony Hawk), and surprise guests. In fact, The Paradox, who just released their new single “Bender” featuring Travis Barker, invited up the blink-182 drummer to their set. And yes—it was simply iconic. The quartet, who jokingly call themselves “Black-182,” had Barker onstage to help them cover blink-182’s “The Rock Show,” and we all fell in love. Then, the group played their latest high-octane, party-inducing track “Bender.” Frankly, it’s impossible not to dance to this group, especially when watching their rager of a music video.
