👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
Whoever mentioned this to Geebz is a legend!! Streetlight is so over-looked as a band and glad he gets to enjoy getting into this discography. Hopefully there is more to come!
100% agree! Nothing gets me more amped than Streetlight, and watching him just fall in love with them was amazing ❤️
I've been listening since Catch 22. I don't care if I'm ostracized, i love 3rd wave ska haha
This! They’re amazing.
it is not overlooked. read the comments on their videos on youtube. they have immensely influenced people's life.
Very underrated band. That bass line in every song they do is amazing. I've been trying for years to try to come close to playing their songs its jus to hard
"I should probably dip more into ska"
Everyone needs to think this way
One of my favorite quotes is "Ska is described as what goes through your head when you get an Onion ring in your French Fries" 😂
@@GG-tx8ej 🙄 first of all, the meme is mozzarella sticks, not onion rings and french fries. Second, that meme is stupid because ska is an incredibly diverse genre and only a small portion of it is "mozzarella stick" ska...
@SkankinPenguins jeez..sorry for the light hearted quip.....
Please for the love of god, do more Streetlight Manifesto! They’re one of the tightest, most talented bands around and they don’t get enough love on the TH-cam reaction scene. “The Blonde Leads the Blind”, “Oh Me, Oh My”, and “Somewhere in the Between” are some of my favorite songs by them. You can check out their first album, but the production value is much lower than their subsequent albums and they won’t have as much ear candy as their newer songs.
the toh kay version oh oh me, oh my is the best version imo
The Blonde Leads the Blind is not just my favorite Streetlight song, but I think it's my favorite song of all time. Would love to see a reaction to it!
The Hands that Thieve album really is on another level entirely. I love all their albums, and even their precursor, Catch-22’s more raw stuff, but man, THtT is a masterpiece compared to everything else they’ve done, and since it was their most recent album, it gives me a lot of hope for their next one when it finally comes out a few years after the heat death of the universe consumes all life.
forty days, failing flailing, a moment of silence, and the cover of such great heights originally by the postal service
Freaking "The Receiving end of it all" with that breakdown near the end!
“Big band fusion folk-hardcore-punk”. No one arranges like Streetlight, and nobody can write catchier songs while fitting so much musicality in. So special
This brought joy to my heart seeing someone fall in love with streetlight right in front of me.
One too holy shit
Same dude!
His joy almost brought me to tears.
This is one of my all time favorite bands.
The smile on your face when the horns first kick in put the biggest smile on my face. Streetlight is the best!
That's exactly what I felt. Seeing him experience the enjoyment of experiencing this for the first time made me smile for the whole video.
"They Provide the Paint for the Picture Perfect Masterpiece That You will Paint on the Insides of your Eyelids" Is on one of those hidden gem songs for me that I think is often over looked. "The Blonde Lead the Blind" is also one of my favorites. Really stoked to see you covering some Streetlight!
They Provide The Paint has huge huge soundtrack vibes, with incredible storytelling throughout. Incredible song.
BOTAR is underrated, man
Very much agree with "They Provide the Paint," a close second being "Birds Flying Away."
They put so much heart into 99SoR.
@@comadose25 that intro to Such Great Heights 🤌🤌
@@beerstoremoney They do it justice and then some!
Mad props to the patron who suggested Streetlight.
I saw Streetlight live probably a dozen times between 2005-2014. Best ska shows I've ever been to. They sound just as good, if not better live.
I'll never forget seeing them at the Webster Theater in Hartford, CT. The crowd was on pins and needles waiting for them to go on. The band runs up on stage and the singer tells the crowd "Hey, hey, quiet quiet... we have an announcement to make." The whole place goes dead silent. BOOM they just start playing (I think it was "Watch It Crash") and seemingly in a split second the biggest skank circle breaks out.
I have so many great memories of going to their shows with my friends.
You can't move in those pits it's literally the whole crowd
First time I saw them was right after they released the keasby nights they did and I was hooked. One of the best live you will ever see
I saw a Streetlight show in some place in Northern Kentucky (I disremember the exact town, they're all pretty small and kind of bleed together; all I can really do is narrow it down to either Covington, Newport, Bellevue, or Dayton), somewhere right across the river from Cincinnati, OH. And not only Streetlight, but Mustard Plug opened for them. The show was insane and an absolute ton of fun.
I had such a blast that I intentionally went easy on the whiskey just so I could enjoy the show more and for longer. Trust me, that's a lot coming from a devout alcoholic lol.
I saw them when they toured with reel big fish and I had no idea who they were. I was just there for reel big fish, who played a fine show that was fun and silly. Then streetlight came out and melted my brain. Taught me ska could be so much more
Streetlight is so underrated. Absolutely fucking phenomenal. So so good, all the time
Streetlight mainfesto is very lucky that all of their horn players are also pretty decent singers. The fact that they can use SO many different singers on every song really puts them a cut above. The fact that at any moment you can have background vocals, gang vocals, lead vocals, and still have a couple horns belting out really lets them sound HUGE
Still here, we actually got engaged at one of their shows. My fiance's favorite is "Somewhere in the Between" or "Toe to Toe", I bounce between "The Receiving End of it All" and "We Will Fall Together". Enjoy, man! It's a great discography, but don't sleep on the acoustic renditions from Toh Kay!
Yeah receiving end is probably one of the best songs Tomas has ever written. Was fortunate enough to see them play it once on the somewhere in the between anniversary tour. The crowd went absolutely nuts
I got married and right after my wedding we went to DC for streetlight manifesto
@@ronjames4151 that’s awesome, when was this?! We’re actually doing our reception at their Anaheim show in July too!
I told my wife I want the song Somewhere in the Between to play at my funeral. Also, one of my all-time favorite albums. There was a time I listened to it at least once a day.
Be sure to check out Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution too, Tom's first acoustic project
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution! This band acoustically, plus a string section to make an orchestrette doing these songs. They'll surprise you again
Everyone who listens to Streetlight for the first time: *"OH MY GOD, THE HORNS!"*
Huge Tool fan. Huge Between the butried and me fan. I’m always here for the musical technicalities and intricasies. Yet, i have seen Streetlight Manifesto TONS more than any of those bands because the energy is unmatched.
Glad they crossed your radar Geebz!
Right? I'm always here for BTBAM but I'm SO glad he's finally heard Streetlight Manifesto! Despite most of my library being heavy and complex music, SM has been a favourite band of mine just as long. BTBAM and SM were the first two bands I got saw live shortly after turning 18 (Canada)
I'm in the same boat. I try to go streetlight whenever I get a chance.
streetlight is one of those bands that if you have to drive 4 hours to and 4 hours back from so you can work in the morning, you'll make that trip!
also totally not speaking from personal experience 👀👀👀
totally agree. still probably the best live show ive ever been to was Streetlight.
I had been a massive fan of catch 22, didn't know of streetlight until they opened for a less than jake reel big fish double header in Melbourne, Aus.
They were the absolute highlight of the show.
Definitely try Streetlight Manifesto - Watch it Crash, or anything from Somewhere in the Between honestly.
That's the first album that I ever heard from them, and since then, I have owned all of them (even BOTAR) and seen them live twice. To people who truly love music and the skill and complexity of putting together such music, these guys are very high up there on the list.
So happy that you're doing Streetlight! If you like this, maybe check out their cover of "Such Great Heights!"
Such Great Heights from The Postal Service? No fuckin way!!!
@@TwoGunToast they have a whole cover album 99 songs of revolution
One of my favourite songs ever (the SM cover I mean)
Yes! Do more more Streetlight! They’re amazing!
These guys have some of the most complex and intricate arrangements of any band I've heard. While they generally encompass an overall rock feel, they've also got such a wide sound. I'd definitely save listening to more of their discography for more breakdown videos. Glad you appreciated this band as much as I do!
Yeah, they deserve a lyrical breakdown on most of their songs. Their lyrics are just as amazing to me as their arrangements.
Another great one by Streetlight Manifesto is "Receiving End of it All" from their Somewhere in the Between album.
One of the things I really love about this band (besides their overall awesomeness) is that I can listen to their songs over and over again and still hear something new every time by focusing on the drums or guitar or horns or backing vocals, because there are so many cool sounds together. In that sense, their songs never get old. I recommend down, down, down to Mephisto's cafe or We will fall together next.
"god-tier" haha you got it right on the mark. A+ band!
YESSS! I suggested this. With a long, wordy message where I sperged out over how amazing these guys are at writing music lol. (Well, actually, I suggested The Hands that Thieve, which is a different song, but it’s also the name of the album both songs are off of, so I see where the confusion came from. But I’m totally stoked that you found this one because it’s killer.) I’m glad you were just as blown away by them as I am.
Seriously, this is my favorite musical project in history. They also check all of _my_ boxes: high energy, deep lyrics, and a lot of subtle moving parts sprinkled throughout their songs- especially in their later stuff. I’m not educated in any musical fields, but I still appreciate complex arrangements like this, and they kill it.
The Hands that Thieve is probably my personal favorite song, and this whole album is crazy good, but they have a lot of good stuff out there. 🤘 Much love from Missouri, glad you enjoyed it!
And of _course,_ I’m still here.
Thanks for suggesting them,one of my favorite bands. The best at what they do. One of the best live bands I've ever seen as well.
@@furthurdead81 Yeah they’re on a different level, for sure. I’m gonna suggest some more, cuz I’m sure he’d love to dive deeper, if he hasn’t already in his downtime.
My favorite band. Their stuff is unmatched
Thanks for Streetlight! I'd highly recommend Mad Caddies for more research: Stunning brass section and stylistically even reaching for Dixieland, Cowpunk and a lot more of great stuff.
+1 for Mad Caddies on the channel
seconded!
Too bad it's only been "Chuck + some hired crew" for a while now. Old Mad Caddies was awesome
Tom’s progression of bands is mad interesting. Dig in, in no particular order:
Streetlight manifesto
Catch 22 (Keasby Nights)
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution
Gimp
"The Blonde Lead The Blind" is a must listen.
CONGRADULATIONS !!!!! you have found one of the best bands of our time!!!!!!!! Tomas is an amazing composer Please do more Streetlight
This is from the hands that thieve. The hand that thieves is the solo acoustic album
I've listen Ska-Punk since 97. Live is so great. Many great Ska-Punk band: Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Save Ferris, Mad Caddies, Catch 22, The Planet Smashers....
YES! Don’t forget about RX Bandits!
oh man geebz, when i was little this was my favorite band, and i totally forget about them, much love from chile, thanks for the memories
What a great way to start Monday. I'm glad you like streetlight manifesto. if you want to listen to some brass you can check out:
- The World/Inferno Friendship Society : Addicted to Bad Ideas
- Mustard Plug - Mr. Smiley
- Bandits of The Acoustic Revolution - Dear Sergio
you are 100% spot-on when you call them God-tier. They are simply the greatest punk band ever assembled
My favorite concert ever. Discovered that I knew every word. Discovered the band Moon Hooch that day too, and have since seen them live at every opportunity. House trio with two horns and a drummer that cut their chops busking
Please do more Streetlight Manifesto! The song “If and When We Rise Again” has some excellent Brahms Hungarian Dance moments. I think you’d get a massive kick out of that one.
One of their best! As a matter of fact, I just listened to that 10 mins ago 😊
Somewhere in the Between off their album Somewhere in the Between. One of my absolute favorites!
Streetlight is god tier for sure 👍 the debate of wether or not they are ska will never end in the furthest reaches of the net. When we stop trying to label everything and just enjoy the art the world will be a better place 😂😂 point/counterpoint is one of my personal favorites by Streetlight, catch 22 is basically the same band that was born over issues with the record label. Full send on more ska!!!
Debate’s over. They don’t play ska. Name a band that actually does, and then ask, does streetlight sound at all like them? The answer’s most likely no. And there you have your answer
Actually, most stuff people refer to as ska is actually ska-influenced punk, which Streetlight is. Actual ska is slower, less dense. It's the precursor to raggae
@@downwardisheavenward3006 they're ska punk, but a lot closer to punk imo.
@@fyrecrackerz2934 you almost have it. They’re a folk punk band. No ska detected. And, covers don’t count. Neither does previously being a member of a band, that did play a type of ska
@@jasonGamesMaster you don’t say? Since you bring that up, maybe you can help me with something? There’s a style of jamaican music that I really like, but I can never remember what it’s called. I think it was around between 1965(maybe even late 64) and 1967. It kinda sounds like ska, but it’s a little bit slower. Does that sound familiar at all?
I've been a fan since I was a teen back in 2006 and saw them live a few times. My favorites are probably Point/Counterpoint, A Moment of Silence, The Hands that Thieve and literally any song off of Somewhere in the Between, but especially Watch it Crash, Would Your Be Impressed, and Down to Mephisto's Cafe. Check those out! They also covered Radiohead's "Just". I'm not sure if you've done that one on this channel, but as a fan of both bands, a side by side comparison would be cool. The frontman's other project, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (a band with a full orchestra), has a song called "Here's to Life" that's awesome as well as "They Provide the Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint on the Insides of Your Eyelids" ( a mouthful and a great song). So awesome you're checking these guys out
Here’s to Life was actually a Streetlight song first. Off their first album. Check it out if you haven’t heard it. And I’ll check out BOTAR’s version.
Oh heck yes!! One of the coolest bands out there
I remember sometime between 2004 and 2006 I was driving to my friends house with another friend and streetlight came on the college radio station. We were already Ska fans and had never heard Ska quite like streetlight. We spent months trying to find who the fuck played that song, and one day my friend found it. Streetlight Manifesto. Legendary Ska.
Please please PLEASE react to more Streetlight! My favorite band of all time! Here are some of my favorites:
Would you be Impressed
Watch it Crash
Here's to Life
Toe to Toe
The Hands That Thieve
Seriously though, there's not one bad song in the entire discography. And I know everyone probably says this when you stumble across their favorite band, but I hope so much that you'll take a deep dive here. Streetlight is on another level, and their arrangements are PERFECT for this channel. Love your take - I'm on the edge of my seat for more!!
I highly recommend every single 1 of their albums. Thomas Kalnoky is the singer/guitarist, and he is a musical genius.
So glad you finally got around to this band! They're one of my favorites of all time. Please, please please listen to Blonde Lead the Blind next!
You gotta listen to Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution if you like streetlight. It’s their other band. Here’s To Life is an all time great song, not to mention Dear Sergio and They Provide Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece are masterpieces.
Yes!! So many people over look this band, I love them so much.
Just seeing this, but there's a reason I've seen this band close to 20 times, and you are hitting the nail on the head so much here.
The lead singer has a solo act as Toh Kay, where he plays the songs acoustically, sometimes with only an acoustic guitar. Very worth listening into too.
Oh and there's a new Album coming, but it's been just around the corner since summer 2019, so they might as well release it in april 2023 as a 10 year anniversary of the album you're listening to...
Getting a comparison of the Toh Kay version of The Three of Us would be awesome.
@@jordanhartley7352 I prefer solo Toh Kay myself, just him and his guitar. Especially live. That said you cant go wrong, guys a legend
Gotta get some Catch 22 in there too
They wouldn't be Streetlight if they weren't later and later with their expected release date LOL
Oh how I wish I could hear this song for the first time again. Happy, happy days. 👍🤩
So glad you found these bad boys. They are the definition of GROUSE.
Just browsing...looking for more vids about Streetlight Manifesto, considering they have little to no discography on YT, and here I find another recent react to their "God-tier" work, and it's my absolute favorite: The Three of Us.
Thank you so much for sharing this, for contributing to the memory of SLM. The Hand That Thieves is another great song, but The Three of Us, is by far my favorite.🎶
God bless, and I hope you do in fact enjoy the complexity and range of the rest of their work. Their story is somewhat sad as they were slighted far too early, but man it's a joy to know others who take joy in listening to their work.
They are my favorite band of all time and they sound even better live. It's by far the best live show I've ever been to. Cheers for reviewing them! The leader of the group had other projects you might be interested in to. I would recommend anything from BOTAR (Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution.)
Rewatching this -- I love the pure joy on your face when the brass kicks in.
And if two streetlight songs you should check out are Watch It Crash and Here's To Life. They're amazing!
The perfect ska band for a composer to check out. Their arrangements take them a step above a lot of the rest of the genre. 🤙
I have seen these guys live twice (wish it was more), and they have exactly the amount of energy and skill that this song portrays. They are amazing, and I hope that you have the opportunity and desire to do more from them.
''the three of us'' is my all time favorite streetlight manifesto song
Dudddddeeeee you gotta do "Would You Be Impressed?" I love this band
I'm still here! Criminally underrated band that I'm sad to say I'm just now getting into. It's so fun to see the joy on your face as you discover the song. SUBBED
One of my favorite bands on the planet.
I love seeing you love this so much!
I'm from NJ, these dudes came up playing local shows as Gimp and then Catch 22. Amazing dudes. Trombone player was a high school band teacher :)
Streetlight manifesto is one of the best bands that no one has heard of. Please react to their entire discography I really enjoyed this video.
I hope you have managed to listen to more Streetlight Manifesto as they are a awesome band! I don't know if this is me but this song is almost like a ska rock opera with the storytelling and all the different changes in pace it feels like it comes to life
So thrilled you experienced the amazing Streetlight Manifesto! You really don't need suggestions on songs of theirs to react to as they are all Gold! If you get the chance to go see them live.
Please do If and When We Rise Again off Streetlight's Everything Goes Numb album! Such a cool song
I suggest this like a year ago but I’m glad you finally landed here. This hole goes deep. Love the channel, ✌️
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you so much for this!!!! I've seen these guys live more times than I count (literally, lots of shows). They are definitely ska but they are ska like Faith No More is rock, a whole different level.
This song is the perfect example of the dichotomy of dark and bright being displayed at once. While it has a catchy, upbeat pace it sounds like a dirge. This is one of my many favorite bands of all time. I'm super happy to see you take the opportunity to experience them and am eternally grateful that you shared your experience with the world.
May the Dude abide!
This is the best music review channel youtube. Thanks for the content!
Thank the gods someone introduced Geebz to Ska! 🤩 I'm still here 🤙
Absolutely one of the unsung heroes of 3rd Wave Ska. Point/ Counterpoint has to definitely got to be up there for the next reaction.
My wife and I have seen them over 10 times, each time better than the last. You have to catch them on tour. Also, check out their acoustic arrangement known as Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (BOTAR).
this first track that had me hooked was Walking Away on their Keasby Nights album. def recommend it as a "lesser known song"
Hahaha, your face here shows exactly how I felt when I discovered ska punk back in the day! Love it!
this is one of my favorite Streetlight songs. I love the story telling through the instrumental breaks.
If you're looking for another Streetlight song, Here's to Life could work as a reaction video or a lyrical breakdown. Maybe do both and compare/contrast between the tone of the music and the tone of the lyrics.
Here's to Life is one of the best songs of all time.
Streetlight Manifesto blew my mind 15 years ago when I saw them open for Reel Big Fish. Your reaction makes me smile so much. I always enjoy watching people hear them for the first time. A Moment of Silence and Everything Goes Numb are my favorites.
You did street light!!! Nice. Do “if only for memories”
you owe it to yourself to see them live. everytime I've seen them its been one of the best shows I've been to. they manage to make the air feel like its overcharged with energy without it being overwhelming. theyre all a-list players for sure. also very sweet guys if you ever meet them haha
I hope you do one of The Hand That Theives the song. Love this band to space and back
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution is Streetlight taken to the next level
I've loved when you started doing death metal reviews and now I'm glad to see a reviewer doing some Ska reviews.
Would You Be Impressed is a classic, but all their songs slap honestly, love it
They're finally making music again after 10 years. My body is ready.
You comment that they had to have an excellent engineer. I don't know anything about that end of music, but I've seen them live half a dozen times and they sound JUST AS GOOD live. Just amazing live performances. They keep that pace and energy going for 2+ hours every time.
And if you're working your way through just enjoying their music, keep in mind that the song writer, Tomas Kalnoky, wrote Keasbey Nights (same album recorded by him with Catch-22 first, then by Streetlight.) when he was 18. Great lyrics, most songs have a lot of deep meaning. And of course... the horns. The Horns! Love 'em.
I was not expecting to hear Streetlight on your channel! Ska band from New Jersey. Ive had the opportunity to see them live several times and their energy on stage is phenomenal. I love em! If you want a few suggestions: "Watch It Crash", "What A Wicked Gang Are We Below", "Point/Counterpoint", "We Will Fall Together"
I've seen these guys like 5 or 6 times and they are the best shows I've been to in my life. They sounds just as good if not better live than recorded.
That first min had me thinking of the voodoo glow skulls. A group he might really like but im not sure about their vocals.
He needs to check out: as the foot steps fade away by catch-22(now called streetlight manifesto). Its incredible song where they do an amazing job channeling simon & garfunkel within their genre of ska/punk. So much so, prior to the dramatic increase in tempo, well outside the snappiest of folk rock, you'd probably believe it was a sim & gar tune from back in their heyday performed by the duo.
What a wicked gang we are, here's to life and if and when we rise are all impeccable!
No you're exactly right, it's not quite "ska" per se. Like they're a ska band in the sense that they have that instrumentation, but I think style wise they're completely their own beast. Their earlier stuff definitely leans more in the ska direction, but as they evolved over time they really came into their own. Frankly, I think every album is better than the last when it comes to Streetlight, and so the Hands that Thieve is definitely my favorite! Plus yeah, the bassist is incredible, the drummer is incredible, the horns are all incredible, and even Tomas's guitar playing is pretty impressive! I mean he's mostly playing only rhythm parts in most songs but his strumming is so quick and his chords are so accurate, and that is hard to do! Believe me I've tried to learn some Streetlight songs and his rhythm parts are as intricate and difficult as a lot of bands' lead parts! Add onto that the impressive fingerstyle folk styles he does as Toh Kay and I mean everyone in this band is just the top of their game!
Some of my favorite tracks are "The Hands that Thieve," "If Only For Memories," "They Broke Him Down," "The Receiving End of it All," "Forty Days," "Point / Counterpoint," "Here's to Life," "Walking Away," "Kristina She Don't Know I Exist," (both originally recorded by Tomas's old band, Catch 22) and their covers of "Linoleum," Such Great Heights," and "They Provide the Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint on the Insides of Your Eyelids" (which is another song written by Tomas for another band called Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution).
I listen to and love a really wide variety of music from the deathliest of metal to the souliest gospel to the most intricate jazz to the modernist of hip-hop and pop to the rawest of punk and the classicist of classical, but Streetlight Manifesto is hands down my favorite band. I loved this reaction, great stuff!
I'm still here, Geebz! I kinda dig that you don't research in a way because I enjoy watching you respond in the moment. I drop Jinjer on folks and I don't say a thing. I don't tell them to research. My mother and I actually both watch you (though from different states respectively) and it's like two for the price of one because I get your reaction and hers. Thanks for staying so open and willing to learn too. Spiral out...keep going. Mom is new to what the metal scene has become and you as well as Doug Helvering and Elizabeth Zharoff have helped enrich and enlighten more than yourselves. Music brings folks together. I dig it. Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again. Heal well, Aloha
Came for Streetlight, stayed for CHEEEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Whoever recommended this on Patreon has my unending gratitude!! I've asked Geebz to check them out before because I knew he would appreciate their talent, but I didn't know he would dig it this hard! So thank you so much, Streetlight Manifesto is the gift that keeps on giving! And I hear they're in the studio, so we have a lot to look forward to!! 🤟
Damn that was freakin terrific! Never heard it before. This is why your channel (and others like it) is so great! We get to discover gems like this one!
Indeed I remain 🤙That bridge had such a good SOAD-esque riff, which is something I wouldn't have thought to incorporate into a ska song but goddamn did they make it work! Eager to hear more!
Streetlight is the most underrated band of my generation.
These guys effin rule live! Saw 'em with RBF about a decade ago, was blown away!
Geebz! If you're gonna go down the punk/ska road someday, please consider checking out Reel Big Fish! Nothing Like A Dame will blow your mind lol
He's done LtJ, now Streetlight... only a matter of time, surely!
RBF and Streetlight are my two favorites of all time, to see them at one show would be a dream come true
I’m still here!😁🤙 Everything goes numb by streetlight manifesto is a more popular one of theirs but sooo good. Awesome bari sax and bass in that one (not to say they’re not awesome in all of their songs). I saw streetlight perform with reel big fish and less than jake in Minneapolis MN way back when I was in my ska phase. I would definitely recommend delving into all three band’s discography if you’re looking for some fun ska music. Thank you for doing a wide variety of genres! Keep doing what you’re doing, love seeing the look of pure joy on your face when you hear face melters like this!
Still here! Love Streetlight and Catch-22 (original band name I believe. Or maybe a different incarnation. I’m simply unsure sir.) glad you dug them so much they really are incredible!
You noted the bass playing several times, and busted out some serious bass face air bass! Love it! His name is Pete McCullough and is an absolute beast! Been seeing these guys live since 2005, haven’t missed a local show (New England area) they bring SERIOUS energy every time and I highly recommend checking them out live if you ever get a chance! Excellent review brotha!!
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands! Super cool to see you react this way. Such an underrated band!
Definitely consider them more of a punk ska vibe. My friend showed them to me in high school and I’ve been hooked ever since!
