➡️ I've quickly fallen in love with Streetlight Manifesto, but you guys demanded that I go back to where it all started for the band with Catch 22! The band released their debut album in 1998 and apparently, "Keasbey Nights" was one of the most recognized third-wave ska albums of its time. I loved hearing the familiarity of Tomas Kalnoky's songwriting on full display, but delivered with more simplicity and catchiness. I discuss original bassist Josh Ansley's approach to the walking bass lines, how he simplifies the bass parts when needed, his tasteful usage of space and rests, how the band are masters at utilizing dynamic restraint to let each layer shine, why the horn lines are so darn catchy, and much more! 🎸🎺🎷

Wow. What an honor. Thank you for your kind words.
@@joshansley this comment needs more likes! 🤘

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution - "They Provide the Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint on the Insides of Your Eyelids" would be a fun one to do (though not fun to type)
This is possibly the best, and most complicated, of all the songs in the Toh Kay Muscal Universe
Totally plus you can compare the Streetlight Manifesto Cover from 99 Songs of Revolution Vol 1!
I've seen a few set lists in the past and, interestingly, they usually just wrote "paint", "they provide the paint", or "TPP" because it's certainly one of the song titles of all time.
Uhh I hate that song so much
“Someday I suppose” -mighty mighty Bosstones
Joe Gittleman on bass
That’s next!!
@@LowEndUniversity awesome! 😀
@@LowEndUniversity Can't wait! such an awesome song!
@@LowEndUniversity Awesome! The Bosstones are one of my all-time favorites. I know it's been said numerous times but the punk takeover of this channel has been so much fun!
Joe Gittleman the Bass Fiddleman!
catch22 were one of those bands that meant so much to the NJ scene that people who wouldn’t otherwise be caught dead at a punk/ska show would go to a Catch show. Their follow up record Alone In A Crowd blended more hardcore elements with their sound. Check out “Bloomfield Ave.” and “Hard to Impress” (feat. Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed)
It's true, they had a big hc following.
I first heard this song on a Victory Records compilation album, Victory Style III. It was a little jarring to hear a ska song amongst a bunch of hardcore, but what a banger.
Love when Streetlight Manifesto does Point/Counterpoint into Keasbey Nights - two songs that are different but fit so well together
It's so funny to hear that the delivery in the chorus is quick and rapid fire. Wait til you hear Streetlight's rerecording of this haha!
Yeah I prefer the SM version
I prefer the C22 version of the whole album, but SM as a band 🤷
Keasby Nights(the record) is an all timer indie record
One million percent correct
Dude that first pause killed me!! Right before you were about to get blasted by the best part!!
Exactly!
I used to watch Catch-22 play at a juice bar named The Cove in Roselle, N.J. in the late 90's and I also went to high school with Jim from Streetlight. There was a decent ska / punk scene in central jersey at that time for a teen me. Bouncing Souls, Lifetime, Bigwig, The Royalties, Inspector 7, IDK, and a whole bunch I forgot about.
You should check out “Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution” it’s a 16 piece entirely acoustic ska group with Tomas Kalnoky and Jamie Egan of Catch 22
Seconding this
Thirding this
Every song on this record has incredible bass work
I’m from Long Island… I’ve seen Catch like a million times. They were always playing Long Island shows with Edna’s Goldfish.
I am from melbourne Australia, seen streetlight twice. I hope you know how lucky you are to be right there. Edna's Goldfish must be awesome live, they seem like such a fun band
Seen these guy so many time being from nj high school in the 90s we took for granted how many awesome bands we had access to.
When Mark said he he's checking out SM's Humble Beginnings I chuckled because I know he has no idea about the mid 90's NJ scene to realize that's another great band from that same era.
@@edwillock vintage vinal records
@Ddeamorin Skater's World in Wyane, The Cove in Roselle Park, Wayne Firehouse, Garfield AM. Legion, all those awesome shows. I was from NY state but ventured to NJ to see and play shows back in the day, and I promoted shows in Nyack, NY for almost 2 decades. I played in Stick Figure Suicide for a bit in the early 00's.
I went to high school in union NJ the cove was like 5 mins away crazy how you can go so long without thinking about this shit.
Josh Ansley playing this album on fretless is such great work, especially as a teenager.
Thanks man!
I grew up in NJ when these guys came around as Gimp. Amazing bunch of guys, amazing musicians.
Refused - Deadly Rhythm
Fun fact:
The lead designer of Cyberpunk 2077 _specifically_ reached out to the Refused to play the band SAMURAI
Other than that they are known for the record "Shape of Punk To Come" from 1998, and pretty much broke all the rigid rules of what punk should be, because they thought the underground scene had gone stale. They were right and disbanded a few months later with no one giving a shit. A few _years_ later they slowly changed not only punk, but modern rock
Or to quote Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park in an article titled _Was Refused’s The Shape Of Punk To Come Actually The Shape Of Punk To Come?_ in Stereogum back in 2018:
„_Coming up, while we were trying to define our band’s musical style, I remember often referencing The Shape Of Punk To Come… And since then, many people, myself included, have tried to capture the same kind of intensity, craftsmanship, and imagination that album has._”
100%. That record changed heavy music.
Cool story, but how does that relate? haha
The drummer from Streetlight was in another great NJ punk/ska band from this era called One Cool Guy. Definitely recommend checking out the album “From Downtown”
Walking away is definitely the time for bass to shine on this record. Also, as the footsteps fade away, and the closer 1234 1234 have some killer bass. Also, ya know, the whole record has memorable moments. Sergio, 9mm, and on and on. Literally, its a 10. No skips. All the bass slays. Much love. Walking away is definitely the highlight in a sea of highlights.
good shout out. When I saw Catch 22 my immediate thought was "no walking away?!"
Cool guys. Back in 2000, I took my friends down to see them (a two hour drive) . The venue gave age 21+ attendees priority to try to make more bar money. It was absolute horsesh-t. They sold out and my friends were pissed. They snuck around back of the venue, found a few of the guys from Catch 22, told the band the deal, and the band let them sneak in free with them through the back door. Super cool of them.
And where was I? I was in a park nearby having an argument with my girlfriend and missed the whole thing. 😅 High school is a wild time.
I know there’s a clever Catch-22 pun in here somewhere…😂
Your next Ska react should be Mad Caddies. My favorite song by them is Drinking for a 11, but I think you'd have a really fun time with Monkeys or Souls for Sale
Taking me back to my teen years, what an epic, catchy song and album.
I actually got into Catch 22 not too long ago and they've quickly become a favorite of mine. I adore ska punk, and this song in particular resonates so deeply with me
Whole album is excellent, and then follow up with Streetlight Manifesto
Ive listened to this album and Out Come The Wolves by Rancid more than ive done anything in life lol
Many nights playing this on guitar with everybody singing along. Some of the best memories of my life.
You are running through all my 90's and 2000's favorite bands! Dig deeper into the singer... Tomas Kalnoky. Catch 22, Bandits of the Acoutic Revolution, Streetlight Manifesto, and Toh Kay (solo). You won't be sorry. There's band drama in the lyrics :)
There is acually an earlier album that Tomas wrote back when he was 15-16 years old called smiles for macavity when he played in a band called gimp. The full album is on TH-cam and it holds up pretty well. The track “mrs butterworth’s indestructible bomb shelter” sorta reminds me of an earlier version of the catch 22 sound. It’s definitely worth checking out even if you don’t make a video on it
Oh yes, now we must get him into Gimp.
I'm not going all the way back through the comments to see if anyone else said this but... they were (almost) all teenagers when they cut this album.
Catch-22 has some lineup changes as some of them go on to become Streetlight Manifesto, but the remaining lineup is also really good and goes off to do their own more hardcore-inspired thing. "Motown Cinderella", "What Goes Around Comes Around", and "The Purge" would be reasonably representative samples of what they sound like after the divergence.
This one took me a while to figure out all these lines, but so much fun to play!
This was my first Catch 22 song I heard, and I’m super excited that you covered it
Would love to see you do "1234, 1234" from their live CD (Live At The Downtown, Farmingdale, NY / 8-30-2004), that baseline is way amazing and feels almost impossible to play.
AHHHH I WAS GONNA ASK FOR THIS!!! I love Catch 22 sm
Well now I gotta download this album and listen to it again lol. Great vid bro
Check out Skankin’ Pickle - Rotten Banana Legs!
What an amazing band, I love every thing Mike Park is a part of !
Catch 22 might be the one band Ive seen the most! Not cus I like them but for a while there it seemed like they were opening up for every band I was going to see.
Either way, cool to see them on the channel!
I swear I accidentally saw them 6 times one summer when I was living in Poughkeepsie.
@@l_ROAR_l Same, but I was in the Rochester area.
I used to see this band play in firehouses and VFW halls when I was in high school! The Ska and hardcore scene was the only good thing about growing up in NJ.
I must have seen them close to 100 times at local shows in the late 90s. The horn section even played on my brother's band's, OS101, 2nd album.
Wow, brings back memories like a slap on the face 😅! Cheers! ❤ Next: The O.C. Supertones - Little man.
Yesssss what an incredible song.
Thanks for the love for my comment on the other video! 😊 I've been really enjoying following along with your punk/ska-punk exploration, and would like to recommend the album "This Machine" by the JB Conspiracy (and the song by the same name).
I think you might really enjoy Streetlight’s first full-length album, “Everything Goes Numb”. That album, to me, feels like a follow up to “Keasbey Nights”, with multiple members from Catch-22 playing on the album, including Josh Ansley. Anyways, I enjoy your videos - keep crushing it!!!
This brings me back. Have been listening to this album for over 20 years, finally saw them live last year (wore my three piece). Would love to see you do a reaction to any Mustard Plug. Gave my bass instructor a copy of Big Daddy Multitude because I felt it’s the MP album with the strongest bass parts.
Just subbed on Patreon! Can't wait to watch the full Somewhere in the Between album review!
I'm seeing them tomorrow in Jersey for the 30-something-th time, so this review was pretty much perfectly timed lol
Everything Goes Numb is definitely more stripped back compared to SITB, but still incredibly epic in it's own way.
Their latest album The Hands That Theive is also a step down in production from SITB, but it's my favorite album by them, as they experiment with combining tons of different styles and influences.
They're incredible man. They've never put out a bad song, and it's all due to the meticulousness of Tom Kalnoky's songwriting. Just sucks we have to wait forever for new tunes! 😅
Been binging your videos today (just found your channel today). Love seeing your break down the various songs (especially punk / ska).
I know you get a lot of suggestions. ;mostly really big popular bands from the ska / punk genre) but I have a band you may really enjoy experiencing that wasn’t really big. (They played the warped tour sets for years and had some mild success on some movies and in LA). A band called “the Briggs”.
I think you’d dig their compositions and set ups. They always had great hooks. A very sort of Clash feel imo.
Anyways thanks for all the great videos (can’t wait to check out more). Subscribed!
(One of my new fav music channels up there with trash theory)
Let's arrange an Interview mate, I'm excited by the idea of talking to you about all this stuff !
Oh yeah, you gotta Keasbey nights and Point /Counter Point mash at some point!!! Live version only for now. Thomas would probably take a decade to mix a studio version. hehehe
Alriiiiiiiiiight! 😎 I think you now covered all the important bands.
How has no one recommended or requested anything from Title Fight yet? One of the best hardcore punk fusions ever!
If only in memories from streetlight is one of my favorite songs ❤
i go back and forth all the time about which version of this album i like better, even still its one of my favorite albums of all time
I always learn something from you about bass and usually chime in about punk, but being as I don’t know ska-punk, as well as the other punk subgenres, this is the first time I actually learned something from you about the band! I was this minute years old when I learned that Catch-22 and Streetlight Manifesto were the same folks. So thanks for that!
Ha! Love it!! 😎
9mm and a Three Piece Suit would have been my choice off this album, but Keasbey Nights is great too.
MU330 - Hoosier Love
I got turned on to Catch 22 just the past year or two. Somehow missed them back in the day. They're great. (Very Zeppelin intro guitar lol)
Great song. I always forget the name lol I skip through looking for it but never find it until I realize. I love this punk journey your on. Brian’s lament. Bouncing souls. Not complicated. But I sat back…. Just listen to it man
I got this CD shortly after it came out and fell in love with it. I went to see them and was so disappointed that Tomas Kalnoky was no longer in the band. Catch 22 came into their own without him, but I'm glad he came back in Streelight Manifesto.
Since the nostalgic punks have taken over Low End's channel lately, how about checking out: Voodoo Glow Skulls - Delinquent Song. It's even got horns 😮
A brass section makes me smile like that too!
Been almost two decades I've known and listen to Catch 22. Still listen to them daily
Gadjits - Tell Yourself at Night
Bought this record the day it came out. So many choices bass bits.
I feel like someone should tell him that Catch 22 never broke up and became Streetlight, they're still a band and put out more albums!
Absolutely I love this song so Good
Keasbey is the only song I can think of that has a sequal. The song "point counterpoint" on Streetlight - Everything Went Numb album literally is more from the "protagonist" of this song. Just fun and interesting writing by Toh Kay.
top three ska album. would like to see some less than Jake maybe. not sure how complex the bass is though
This is my jam, it's the song that got me into ska punk.
This is crazy, I've seen a lot of your videos and recently saw J.A.R., and noticing you've been doing a lot of punk I came to your most recent video to recommend Streetlight and your most recent video is just that!!! That's insane hahah I seriously recommend 'As the Footsteps Die Out Forever'. Great bass and a deeply emotional song overall. Great work!!!
Edit: I didn't know you did Streetlight Manifesto a few months back. No idea how I missed it! But As the Footsteps Die Out Forever is still something I'd recommend
Thanks pal! I’ll see what I can do!
@@LowEndUniversityPersonally I prefer the Streetlight Manifesto version over the Catch 22 version. Same song, different production.
So good. Could have picked any song off this album. All flawless. One of my top 10 albums for life
Have been loving your videos, even though I don't play bass. Your reactions have helped me notice really cool stuff from songs I thought I knew well, where the bass plays a super crucial roll.
In the Ska Punk world, would love to hear your reaction to The Interrupters. Popular yes, complicated maybe not? But I feel like the bass really drives some of their songs. She Got Arrested, In The Mirror, The Prosecutor, or of course their hit She's Kerosene all have driving bass lines that I feel like make the song what it is...
Thanks so much for the kind words!! I actually have them coming fairly soon. Stay tuned!
Catch 22 (along with Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Mad Caddies) were among the first Third Wave ska bands I heard. Streetlight Manifesto knock it up a notch, cloesr to skacore than these earlier bands, more similar to Capdown from the UK. If you check out Capdown, Cousin Cleotis is worth a listen.
Gaht DAMN I love this song. If I had a jam, this would unquestionably be it.
I'm smiling so much RN
I always felt that this song had a Paul Simon influence to it. Specifically Me and Julio down by the schoolyard.
Has anyone mentioned King Apparatus? They were incredible. The song, "Uninvited" is super technical and has some fun time signatures.
This one!
th-cam.com/video/QDXDPpt5MKI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_isG1SgwsRwLZYkA
Mighty mighty boss tones - The impression that I get.
Marc...I didn't read all of the comments but I'm sure someone already mentioned this...Streetlight re-recorded Keasby Nights...basically because Kalnocky wrote most of the album & wanted to do it better...
The King AKA Low End University overlooks the crowd from his balcony.
He raises his hand, and the crowd instantly stops skanking and goes silent. Out of true respect for the King.
‘What do you want?’, the King asks.
The thousands of people reply simultaneously.
‘A Full Album Review of Keasbey Nights!!’
The King sees banners in the crowd with writings like ‘Best Walking Bass EVER’ and ‘Can’t Stop Skanking to Keasbey Nights’ even after 25 years, and he realizes he does not have a choice.
‘Okay,’ he says. ‘I will do a full album review of Keasbey Nights.’
What happens next, have not even the biggest festivals seen before. The crowd starts dancing, and the mosh pit is the size of Montana.
Who would have thought a full album review of Keasbey Nights would bring so much joy in the ska punk and music scene…
STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO COVERED THIS ENTIRE RECORD, TRACK FOR TRACK. IT WOULD BE ALOT OF FUN TO DO A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE 2. THE STREETLIGHT VERSION IS A BIT FASTER AND TIGHTER SOUNDING
Consider reviewing Streetlight's remake of 1234 1234. The bass is very prominent in that recording
BANDITS OF THE ACOUSTIC REVOLUTION is ANOTHER Streetlight offshoot. You’ve only started your deep dive on Streetlight boy!!! Keep it going lol
My favorite bass line is As The Foorsteps Die Out Forever
We need another damn Streetlight album.
Less Than Jake has so many epic songs featuring the bass. 🤘🏻
Walking Away from Keasby Nights but the Streetlight version. Cheers!
Yes please DO listen more of Streetlight Manifesto songs. I recommend A Better Place A Better Time which is my all time favorite SM song ❤
Good ska bands know how to effectively use a horn section
You should also check out the newest Streetlight album, maybe their song The Three of Us, it's again a development from Somewhere in the Between
You should see them play point/counter point into keasbey nights back into point counter point
This remind me of spring break '99.
Idk if you only take suggestions from Patreon, but imma throw this band out again: Rocket From The Crypt. RFTC are the link between your classic rock background and your punk education. And man, if you love horns… (I recommend literally anything from Scream, Dracula, Scream.)
Next up: Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution!
Streetlight Manifesto re-recorded this album with a more actual lineup
If you do a full album reaction to «The Shape of Punk to Come» by The Refused I'll join you patron 😘
You should totally do a comparison of each entire album! I'm not sure if you're aware, but the entire Keasbey Nights album was also done by Streetlight Manifesto as Tomas wanted to improve on the original. I'm probably gonna catch a lot of flack for saying this, but I 100% prefer Streetlight Manifesto's version.
Streetlight re-recorded this entire album and I'd be interested in your take on the difference.
You may be interested in comparing both versions of this album: Catch 22 vs Streetlight. Regardless of if you make a video I am very curious what you have to say on how each version compares to each other!
Do One Foot On The Gas, One Foot On The Grave, it has the best bass I've heard, pllsssssssssss
As somebody who’s been into both bands for 25+ years: Streetlight folks will tell you that Catch 22 sucked when Tomas left, but honestly Catch may be my favorite ska band from that era.
I feel similarly about TBS with and without Nolan
Unpopular suggestion: Big D and the Kids Table - Hell on Earth would be fun :)
Don't know why but haven't listened to Catch 22 in a long time so thanks for the reminder but also reminded me of Kemuri, and mostly any and all Asian ska/punk both before Kemuri and since them. If you want some crazy a$$ bass lines they do everything better and ramped up to 11 full throttle. Check out Asian man records, Mike Park, Bruce Lee Band ...
You should do Fishbone next, Bonin' In The Boneyard!
"When they come for me I'll be sitting at my desk with a gun in my hand and a bullet proof vest, singing my my my how the time does fly when you know you're gonna die at the end of the night!" One of my favorite choruses of all time, it's so intense and fun haha
If you're going down this rabbit hole Mad Caddies I'm sure is already on the list. Tons to choose from but I'm a poser late-comer so I'd pick Shot in the Dark off of Dirty Rice. Probably not the classic Mad Caddies sound most people think of but I absolutely love that album.
