The Official Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22/BOTAR Thread

[FunknPunk]

MOD EDIT


This is the new official thread for the bands Streetlight Manifesto, Catch 22, and Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. It has had every SLM, Catch 22, and BOTAR thread I could find merged into it. In this thread you can discuss these three bands and news surronding them.

Any other new threads about these bands will be closed.

[AIRIC]

I know they're a f[B][B]ucking awesome ska band, don't know about them live though.

[Rocker4Lyf]

amazing live. Catch 22 f''in rocks.


When they come for me I'll be sitting at my desk with a gun in my hand wearin' a bulletproof vest singin' "my my my how the time does fly when you know you're gonna die by the end of the night"..

[REINER]

Ehh now a days they're aren't as good as they used to be. If you don't mind them butchering older songs, they're good.

[Iron Man]

It's a good book...for anyone into that, haha

[Kithkin]

Yeah, they are good live. Don't expect to skank though. Their fans are very jockish.

[username77]

Yeah, they are good live. Don't expect to skank though. Their fans are very jockish.

thats a shame...

[dropkickstreetpunk]

is it like a normal ska show?

[Johnny B. Good]

Have any of you guys heard this awesome ska punk band Streetlight Manifesto. They're really good and use their horns a lot mor than most ska bands do :thumb:

[REINER]

Yeah, good band.

Pretty sure anyone into 3rd wave ska has heard them.

[CoCkNeY_ReJeCtS_Oi!]

yea ive heard of them..... probably have heard them but i was to drunk to remember... like most ****... hahahahaha

[SkaRobotArmy]

the greatest band ever.

[skankin'sophr]

i raelly love their cd, but i wish they had more material. and what's this with them simply redoing keasby nights?

[SkaRobotArmy]

i doubt it\really hope not. But they're new album is supposed to be coming out soon i think? check their website but they're being really big jerks and secretive about it.

[Sid]

yea ive heard of them..... probably have heard them but i was to drunk to remember... like most ****... hahahahaha

Haha, yeah that's really funny.

Or not, jack a'ss. The internet isn't a place where you can just come on and act like a moron. Oh wait, sadly it is.

[TheNowhereman42]

I like BOTAR better, but they'r ridiculously fsking awesome.

[Helstrem00]

Ive heard of them but Ive never heard them ... if i did i didnt recognize them .... skas not really my type of music but it sounds pretty good to me ... its something different to listen to every once in awhile

[TheNowhereman42]

ska>you

[DrGolovaCroxby]

they are decent, but nothing amazing really.

[albert_bass]

I like them much more than last Catch 22's stupid piece of crap (album)...

[Corey{-Linoleum-}]

most. amazing. band. ever.

[AdictAddict]

yeah i am not a big fan of 3rd wave, but i cant deny the fine music thoe people make.

[surferguitarist]

They are AMAZING.

[Cyco_Vision]

They're fantazmic. Tomas is such a great writer. The songs are masterpieces. They have so many parts.

[Forest_Fire]

the cd never left my cd player for at least 3 weeks after i got it...

and they put up their dates for ska is dead!!

... and once again, no kentucky... :upset: :upset: :upset: not even like cinncinatti or anywhere relatively near me

[SLManifestoLove]

They are coming to my town in Feb with VGS and Mu33o for the ska is dead tour. I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoeyRamone]

I absolutely love Streetlight Manifesto. Everything Goes Numb is my favorite album of all time. I'll be going to see them February 15th.

[SkaRobotArmy]

both SM and BOTAR have some really rad merch, check out their website www.streetlightmanifesto.com ,it carries both.

[The Raz]

The Big Sleep is their most underrated song.

[Sid]

The big sleep is one of their best. But really, all their songs are their best. There isn't a bad Streetlight Manifesto song.

[BassManXtreme]

Just hoping I can see them Jan. 29th, man...

Ska is Dead will kick SO much ***.

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

I just got this cd! It's really good, my favorite song would have to be A Moment Of Silence or Point/Counterpoint

[Arucard]

They rock so bad. A moment of violence rocks and so does the saddest song.

[Johnny B. Good]

I wanna know where the Ska is dead tour is heading to.

[SkaRobotArmy]

can somebody reccomend some good Mu33o and tell me how it is pronounced... muuso, musso, etc.. Their songs are all phenomenal but the one song that lags behind is a moment of silence i think.

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

can somebody reccomend some good Mu33o and tell me how it is pronounced... muuso, musso, etc.. Their songs are all phenomenal but the one song that lags behind is a moment of silence i think.
I love that song. It's got a more groovy reggae beat to it and it's one of the best songs on the cd. j00 r stupit.

[SkaRobotArmy]

:O ouch:(

[EvIL_ToASTER_OVEN]

:O ouch:(
Yeah that's right. :angry:

[hitparade]

Have any of you guys heard this awesome ska punk band Streetlight Manifesto. They're really good and use their horns a lot mor than most ska bands do :thumb:

Yeah, I like them some.

The last time I heard them was on an online ska radio though... which was last night.

[AIRIC]

I like BOTAR better, but they'r ridiculously fsking awesome.


It seems like Botar Mexicanizes songs, which ofcourse makes it suck.

(Kidding, BOTAR and Streetlight rule my dick.

[sketchyjoe]

Bumped to prevent spawn threads.

[POINTLESS5448]

yeah theyre coming to south florida in febuary.

They are stopping in a lot of places across the US and some in Mexico and then a few UK dates
All I know is that march 15th and 16th I'll be seeing them

[skankindude21]

yeah im gonna go to that show on the 20th, the one at the factory. it should be a real blast and all.

[AdictAddict]

I am going to ska is dead on february 8th in boston (i hope). Should be good, though i am usually not that big a fan of 1st wave.
EDIT: Wait, i meant third wave. w/e.

[The Karma Policeman]

I think I might be going to a show when they have one nearby. :thumb:

[The Cameo Role]

Hey, I live in South Florida! I figured they'd play Gainseville or Orlando; that's as far south as the majority of bands go. Cool, maybe I'll go. Where do you live man?

[Arucard]

Seeing em three times in England.

[CDR_Cool]

Feb 12th BITCH!! Streetlight is ****ing amazing, Tom is a genius. The only thing I hate is how packed their shows are here. The last one they had at the stone pony it was impossible to get anywhere close to stage. plus my pants kept falling down ("oh i don't need a belt tonight")

[Anarcho Posuer]

I'm hoping to go see them on the fourth.

[skankindude21]

i live in miami since its cool

[SkaCore911]

Streeghtligh Manifesto - TWForum, England, 22nd April - IM THERE BABY!

[Johnny B. Good]

If you guys didn't know there's already a streetlight manifesto page use the search

[Shtein]

I would to........ if i lived in the same country

[singinghostility]

why the f'uck won't they come to canada

[pedro durruti]

They haven't posted any Northwest tour dates yet... I'm getting a little worried, but I think they'll be up eventually.

[SkaCore911]

why the f'uck won't they come to canada

Beacuse.....................I dunno, your missin out man.

[Wiggles]

Might be supporting them when they come to Manchester in the UK, then I get to dedicate songs to Tom and his amazing sexy brain.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I need to move somewhere that people actually care about. I always miss the awesome shows.

Yeah, i know, boo-hoo huh? Theyre not coming within two states of me.

[POINTLESS5448]

Hey, I live in South Florida! I figured they'd play Gainseville or Orlando; that's as far south as the majority of bands go. Cool, maybe I'll go. Where do you live man?

i live in ft lauderdale
and im going to ther show on i believe the 20th at the factory

[Cyco_Vision]

I want to see them when they come down to Cali. I have two chances to see them.

[ImNotAsPunkAsYou]

I was but they're not coming to Oregon.

[pedro durruti]

Where in Oregon are you? On Ska is Dead they have dates all the way to Sacramento and it says more dates and info to come. I don't know why they wouldn't, last Ska is Dead turnout was great, granted it was in Solid State

3.19.05 TBA

3.20.05 TBA <-- from the Streetlight website

My guess is those are the Seattle and Portland dates.

[Anarcho Poser]

Y'know, I wish I knew how to skank. Man, I suck at life.

[Pennywise_punks]

i cant believe anyone hasnt heard of them, but i think they are a tad bit overrated, great band tho

[AIRIC]

February 5th. Can't wait.

[REINER]

I'm thinking about going to see Streetlight in a few weeks provided it doesn't interfer with my snowboarding.

[Anarcho Poser]

February 5th. Can't wait.
That's the one in Cohoes, right? If so, I'm probably goin' too :thumb:

[AIRIC]

haha really?

where do you live?

oh yeah, thats where it is

[Anarcho Poser]

If I can get there. I'm counting on my friend's dad, but neither my friend nor his dad are very reliable. If luck's on my side, I'll make it.

[Johnny B. Good]

You have to find out what's more important to you
Good ska, awesome concert, and the excercising form skanking

or

Snowboarding.......

and seriously, who likes snowboarding,

[Anarcho Poser]

and seriously, who likes snowboarding,
Him, obviously.

[SkaRobotArmy]

me, so shut your face. HOORAY for being unbanned eh man?

[Jessizzle]

Streetlight Manifesto dosnt come around all that often, but you can go snowboarding any week. go with streetlight!

[REINER]

Considering Streetlight plays here on average once every month or two, I'm leaning towards snowboarding.

[mshort813]

BOTAR is awesome...So is SM. I'm seeing Streetlight soon. :)

[Thurstan]

I love Streetlight Manifesto - I play lead guitar in a ska band myself, and it's good to see some good music coming out rather than the public crap that most people know of.

And I just found out they're coming to the UK in April!!!

[dudetezz]

They were massive on these forums like a year and a bit ago.

[pedro durruti]

Massive, very massive

Wait, we were talking about Streetlight? Yeah they're still pretty massive

[Raynor21]

Holy crap, I always knew that ska was pretty awesome but BOTAR and SM definately made ska one of my favorite genres, thanks Nowhereman

[Johnny EPHC]

I'm listening to them right now.

[Thurstan]

Well i'm glad i came back on this forum, because it made me think of looking for tour dates (again), and i seems Streetlight Manifesto are coming to Birmingham (England) on 26th April for only £6! My ticket has been ordered :)

[Johnny B. Good]

Considering Streetlight plays here on average once every month or two, I'm leaning towards snowboarding.

Well then you're a lucky man if they play where you live so much :thumb:

[mshort813]

Considering Streetlight plays here on average once every month or two, I'm leaning towards snowboarding.

Yeah, they do play often here.

[PunkMeister15000]

they are really awesome punx IMHO

[unorigional]

I think I hate you.

Streetlight plays within a 150 mile radius of me precisely zero times a year.

Okay, I don't hate you. I envy the hell outta you though.

[swainy]

Heard 'em on Purevolume.com - pretty darn rockin' !

[panasonic youth]

can someone explain to me the difference between first wave, second wave and third wave ska, I have no idea, and all i couild guess is from eras, but I'm pretty sure Im wrong.

[REINER]

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71269

That thread will answer your questions.

[<---NoFX--->]

F'ucking amazing band, I love them

Streetlight Manifesto > BOTAR

[Johnny B. Good]

Heard 'em on Purevolume.com - pretty darn rockin' !
pure volume is the place to go.

[Cyco_Vision]

they are decent, but nothing amazing really.
Watch it, pal. That is blasphemy.

[Raynor21]

Dude, SM is the band that turned me onto ska, them and BOTAR, to say that they are mediocre makes me sad...

[TheNowhereman42]

acctually Sublime made you like ska, I know that because Sublime made EVERYBODY like ska.

[Raynor21]

"starin at her ****..." huh? Oh yea, sorry, definately, but these other two confirmed it...and my love. BTW I'm getting my trombone soon!

[TheNowhereman42]

find a drummer, scour the school band for a trumpet and a sax, and convince lincoln to play organ, and lets start a ska band.

[NAngelzAngel]

They are coming to my town in Feb with VGS and Mu33o for the ska is dead tour. I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!


Do you live in NO?? They are coming here and Im telling everyone!! I saw streetlight when they came here in aug. & i am getting a huge group to go in feb.!! :thumb:

[NAngelzAngel]

the greatest band ever.
where did u get ur icon from??? will it work on aim??

[RiseAgainstMe]

where did u get ur icon from??? will it work on aim??

Whered you learn your spelling from??? will it work on a job application??

I'm seeing Streetlight on the 21st. I'm pumped.

[AndreTheHyena]

Haha, so lame, but so funny.

[roadsidebass1234]

ima post a review the day i pick it up
i know its supposed to just be re-recordings of Keasbey Nights so Catch 22 doesnt make any money... but they would lose royalties if they didn't put at least one new song on it...

[skankinBassist]

o dam,n
nevermind, they just updated the release date
there now is none!
it reminds me of their first album
3 months post-poned
rediculous!

[skankin'sophr]

has anyone been to SID2 yet?

[mr.k]

has anyone been to SID2 yet?

nope

[whats her face]

I love this band soooo much. Here's To life is one of the greatest songs ever made.

[Forest_Fire]

have you heard the BOTAR version?

[neffernin]

ive seen them live twice, I saw them when they played in grand rapids last year and when they played in toledo. Though they don't put on any great stage show and stick to just playing their music, they do an incredible fing job at it. I am seeing them.... today I guess it would be.

Also, Here's To Life by SLM is a cover of BOTAR. BOTAR covers Hey Sergio from keasby nights.

Last time I saw them live, they added "hey ska" onto their set by the suicide machines, since I've seen the suicide machines live many times (and seen them horribly try to play the song live w/o horns lol) it was really exciting.

Also, if you are going to their show, expect to hear one or two botar songs, notably "They provide the paint for the picture-perfect masterpiece that you paint inside your eyelids" and "It's a wonderful life." (also here's to life, but that's to be expected)

[Cracked Open Ska]

I have to say, SM are (is??) amazing, Tomas Kalnoky=3yrs in prison for armed robbery. Just amazing people. It sucks with the leaving of James Egan and Josh Ansley. Im seeing them live the 6th, awesome show. BOTAR is also really cool. They're so offbeat that it's just amazing. Some relative of Tomas' is in BOTAR, his name is Achilles Kalnoky. How Eastern European. He lives in Prague. Rock on Czech Republic.

**If you're into anarcho-ska/crusty stuff, listen to Leftover Crack. What a fine group of young entrepreneurs.**

[enjoyincubus421]

i love em, can't wait for the new cd, whenever that will be

[TheNowhereman42]

I <3 Botar

[SkaRobotArmy]

ya, i didnt realize BOTAR had like 15 members... i just figured it was SM guys playing alternate instruments or something.

[TheNowhereman42]

I think its 12 members

[SkaRobotArmy]

ya, i didnt bother to count, but its alot.

[roadsidebass1234]

i went to the ska is dead tour and public access told everybody to come on stage and sing linoleum. it was awesome. except their saxifonist broke his sax... all the other bands were amazing to especailly streetlight manifesto

[AIRIC]

has anyone been to SID2 yet?


I went lastngiht. amazing show. Streetlight was so good.

The best part of their set was when they started counterpoint, played half of it and went right in to keasby nights, then they finished up counterpoint. it was f'ucking amazing.

[peteo]

acctually Sublime made you like ska, I know that because Sublime made EVERYBODY like ska.

Naw bosstones, with devils night out and less than jake with loosing streak got me into ska.

I went lastngiht. amazing show. Streetlight was so good.

Yeah they did that at the boston show too. Amazing, totaly caught every one off guard and people went ape sh*t

[SlappedByTheClash]

I wish they came at least to my state so I could've seen that.:upset:


That Point/Counterpoint+Keasbey Nights sounds F'uckin amazing.

[albert_bass]

That Point/Counterpoint+Keasbey Nights sounds F'uckin amazing.

Where's that?

Oh, I didn't see it. I'd love to see SLM live.

[Pastry Man]

they are an awesome band. i love that type of ska. its not too pop punky but its not too street punky its just right. and seeing as i havent actually been to a live gig before (noob*embarassed*) i would definitely want to go see them if i ever had the chance.

[KingOfSka]

Streetlight Manifesto owns, their horns are so much better than any other ska bands.

Reccomended Songs:
-Everything Goes Numb
-Flailing Flailing
-Point Counterpoint
-A Better Place a Better Time

[KingOfSka]

they covered keasby nights? wut?

[REINER]

They play a lot of old C22 stuff. At their first show they played a songs off C22's demo.

[albert_bass]

What's the connection with Catch 22? I've always wanted to know that.

[RevengeOfTheVillageIdiot]

they need to play a well known bands songs

[albert_bass]

But really, there are some members of Catch 22 in SLM or it's just a paranoid?

[AndreTheHyena]

Paranoid?

No, there's ex-members of Catch 22 in Streetlight. I know the singer is the same, I don't know who else.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Didn't it used to be like half C22 and half One Cool Guy before some of the guys left?

[REINER]

The connection is Tomas Kalnoky on guitar/vocals, Josh Ansley on bass and Jamie Egan on Trombone but he just recently left.

The rest of them were from OCG. Since they formed there has been a few lineup changes. But for the most part it's the same.

[goldfish855]

I went to the "Ska is dead" last night. It was so great. That was my first live show and streetlight was deifnitly the best.Them and our local band Bad Larry

[tgkdrummer]

dude my music teacher is in Streetlight!... he plays trombone. he used to be in catch 22 too

[SlappedByTheClash]

You f'ucking liar, shut up.


The trombonist quit Streetlight anyway.


if he's in a band like SM, why would he f'uck his life away teaching pre-pubescent children how to play wanky classical music?

[Anti-Prefix]

You f'ucking liar, shut up.

You like using the words pre-pubescent don't you?
Anyway.....
Streetlight Rules!

[Rockafella]

Their CD can be phrased in one word: AMAZING!
I got it a week ago and I've been listening to it everyday since I got it (I am even listening to it right now!) Easily a must get. God, they rule...

[albert_bass]

The connection is Tomas Kalnoky on guitar/vocals, Josh Ansley on bass and Jamie Egan on Trombone but he just recently left.

I supposed the singer was the same but the bassist is awesome and he didn't use to write so **** good basslines in Catch 22. That surprised me.

[Rockafella]

Streetlight Manifesto owns, their horns are so much better than any other ska bands.

Reccomended Songs:
-Everything Goes Numb
-Flailing Flailing

-A Better Place a Better Time
You forgot, A Moment of Silence, I love that song. :)

[who_cares_about_anything]

Anyone know if Streetlight's coming to Canada any time soon?

[skankinBassist]

You f'ucking liar, shut up.

dude... he was a full time band teacher, and now he's part time/hardly ever.

[skankinBassist]

Anyone know if Streetlight's coming to Canada any time soon?


their news page said they would book some canada shows for next season

Don't worry canada! Streetlight knows you are a separate country from America!

Thanks...I need to see them live. Just wanted to make sure we were on the map up here

[thank god its monday]

pretty good band

[Owenskankathon]

yeah bassist is right the guy who plays trombone quit for 2 reasons one so he could be with his family and so he can do more with his teaching career in music.

[GenerixDrummer]

These guys are ****ing great. I saw them live last night they were 100 times better then voodoo glow skulls they put on a great mother ****ing show

[cheap_sex]

amazing ska band with tomas from catch 22 and bandits of the acoustic revolution, what do you guys think

(by the way im not newb, i los my password and couldnt get it back to my old account)

[lynch_me]

Everyone likes them pretty much.

[littlebeast]

Their the best band. Better than the Clash. :rolleyes: :confused:

[albert_bass]

Yeah, there have been several threads about them. I suppose everyone knows them now. I love them and their album is currently my favorite album ever (at least for some time).

[Arucard]

Im seeing them three times in about a month.

/Obsessive.

By the way, this thread is several times overdone.

[Anti-Prefix]

My favorite song by them is "We Are The Few" awesome band.

[Brain Toad]

Amazing band, not much better.

[Forest_Fire]

My favorite song by them is "We Are The Few" awesome band.

pretty much that ^^


I think they may be starting to get overrated though. Plenty of people talk about them as if they're a new wave or something completely different; and they're really good, but they're not that great.

[dkm4life010]

awesome band

[Otis9791]

Streetlights got some issues if u had been to their shows they are good and can play but they give other ska bands a lot of **** and need to get over themselves. They got a **** attitude and need stop givin detroit a bad rap.

[Jaw, Knee, B. Goode]

There a great band.

[SantaDuJuan]

I like them.

[skankinBassist]

Awesome band. New CD comes out March 31 i think.

[Forest_Fire]

Awesome band. New CD comes out March 31 i think.

:confused:

i tohught they weren't recording until after the tour

[Kithkin]

What are you talking about? They have been nothing but positive the two times I've seen them (5 if you count the 2 live mp3 shows and 1 video recording). They only band they've said anything remotly negetive about is someone called out for them to play "Alone in a Crowd" by catch 22 after thomas left and he responded "keep saying that and you'll be alone in a crowd"

And... well... a moment of silence/violence are probably about catch 22 too....


So please, be more specific or people will just ignore you.

[Kithkin]

:confused:

i tohught they weren't recording until after the tour


Yeah, he means that amazon lists Keasby Nights 2 as coming out then, but that isn't true.

[Major General Despair]

I think I'm one of the only people I know who don't like them or C22.

[Forest_Fire]

haha i just watched the music video for everything went numb. it's crazy

[REINER]

Streetlights got some issues if u had been to their shows they are good and can play but they give other ska bands a lot of **** and need to get over themselves. They got a **** attitude and need stop givin detroit a bad rap.What the hell? They're from NJ.

[religionisascam]

I like them. They have a good bassist. My favorite song is probably "A moment of violence".

[nicolaB]

'A Better Place a Better Time' is probably my favorite song by them. I could listen to that non-stop. I like most of their songs though... v. good band.

[my own offbeat oddity]

its simply amazing...definetly my favorite...i dont think any other ska act compares to it ..at least not in my opinion.its all just so upbeat and exciting;)

[my own offbeat oddity]

[TheNowhereman42]

[1n d3n1aL]

haha I'm listening to them right now...I just can't seem to stop

[Kithkin]

What the hell? They're from NJ.

I think he meant they said something bad about detriot. I think he simply doesn't know what the slang he is using means.

[Arucard]

Can someone give me a link to a Streetlight Video?

[wearer of socks]

Ive seen them quite a few times live. I am not a fan of ska, but they are an excellent band.

[skankinBassist]

Where'd you see that video? A link would be lovely.

[PunkGuitarist]

They are probably my favorite band. And I did not now there was a video for everything went numb.

[Mike Goes Numb]

Probably my favorite ska band, cough username cough. I know there is a video of everything goes numb on punkrockvids.com, the sound quality is kinda bad though. I also have a live video of them playing Dear Sergio, that videos kinda dark though, haha. You can AIM me for either of them if you need to.

[OMGaDINOSAUR]

Very good band.

[skankinBassist]

Ah, i actually think he was referring to that little Bamfer Productions video. It has those three Bamfer Production kids in it running around their house with toy guns. It's pretty good. The camera angles are actually extremely nice. But they needed to use the demo version of "Everything Went Numb" because it's a little shorter.

That is one cool video...

[maco]

I'm seeing them on Thursday. The first time I saw them, I had never listened to them. I only went because my friends were opening. I will never miss a Streetlight show anyway near me. I love them.

[guitar, bass, sax]

I saw them on Tuesday and watched them on the iMusicast webcast last night too. I met Tomas Tuesday night, what a cool guy. He really hates Catch 22 with a passion now. Also, the trombone player was a really cool guy too. I was up against the stage and we were singing at each other and stuff. He gave me the mic on the last song, too.

[maco]

haha i just watched the music video for everything went numb. it's crazy
i never saw that!!! It's not on their site! Where'd you get it?

EDIT: I need to learn to read through all the posts....

[TheNowhereman42]

wow this is

[maco]

hahahah That's funny! I like the random guy skanking...crazy skanking....I've never seen anyone flail their arms that much while skanking...

I noticed that too! ive been to a few of their shows and theyAMAZING!!! but the former catch 22 members (jamie) aren't so nice:/ the dudes from one cool guy are awesome though:)

[Against Me!]

Yeah, he means that amazon lists Keasby Nights 2 as coming out then, but that isn't true.
http://www.victoryrecords.com/UpcomingReleases.asp

list the release of Keasby Nights as 5/31 and there signed to Victory soo i think there coming out with it!

[Nyabingy]

not to shabby

[REINER]

Didn't they say it wasn't going to be called Keasby Nights a while ago?

[Permanent Solution]

Didn't they say it wasn't going to be called Keasby Nights a while ago?
Yes, they did say there was no new material too.

[REINER]

I wouldn't mind them redoing Keasby Nights as it is my all time favorite ska album, but I'd rather hear new stuff.

[skankinOstrich]

Streetlight re-doing Keasbey Nights is not a good idea.

they're not catch 22, and they never will be.
making your songs repeat themselves over and over again for 7 minutes doesnt make you an awesome band. it makes you annoying as hell.

[REINER]

To be fair they're more Catch 22 than Catch 22 are.

[Permanent Solution]

:lol: Well, then new Catch is...but that's a good thing heh.

Uh-Buh. They basically are Catch 22 minus Ryan Eldred and have a few more guys from one Cool Guy.

And as for re-recording Keasby Nights: i think it is a GREAT idea. Maybe Catch 22 will finally break up once they stop making money off of Keasby Nights. I think Streetlight should have bought the royalties for the original keasby nights in the first place. But a more evolved version will be much better. Hopefully they will have the BOTAR version of "Dear Sergio".

[Brain Toad]

Because they are better than Catch 22.

But that's just my opinion.

[skankindude21]

I definately second that ^. Catch 22 lost everything when Tomas and company left the band. Their release after Keasby nights, Alone in the Crowd, was very good but nothing like Keasby Nights. It sounded alot plainer and Keasby Nights had something only Tomas and the other could provide. Then dinosaur sounds came out showing Catch 22 was only going downhill.

i think that a origional cd would be better but an updated keasby nights i think will still kick ***.

[skankinOstrich]

obviously i was misunderstood.

i meant the ORIGINAL Catch 22. not the new, Dinosaur Sounds catch 22.

i personally think they were much better back in 1998, not rehashed as Streetlight.

[guns_of_brixton]

Their the best band. Better than the Clash. :rolleyes: :confused:

What? No! :angry:

[frenzal_and_rise_against_freak]

I've only heard a couple of songs but so far, they're ****en rad. I love fast ska, although SM are more just like punk with trumpets, sax etc.

[TheNowhereman42]

no, Dead Pets are punk with trumpets (and put on an awesome show), SM are ska-punk

[Unseen2k0]

Okay, I'm sure this is done enough, but I went 14 pages back and didn't find the answer so I know it hasn't been done recently.

What is the deal with these 2 bands? I know Tomas was in Catch 22 and got kicked out/quit and took like 2 other members with him, but Catch 22 kept playing the songs he wrote or something (I get that from the song by SM "If you hate me so much, then why do you keep singing my songs").

Can anyone tell me exactly what happened?

And for discussions sake, which one do you people like more?

[Rise Me Up]

streegtlight manifesto is is better

[SantaDuJuan]

Streetlight4eva.

[REINER]

Tom left the band do to disagreements and C22 kept playing the songs which he wrote. He obviously feels they're his songs and C22 should not be playing them.

[Unseen2k0]

Well, like why doesn't he record them on a SM CD? If he wrote them, wouldn't they be copy righted to his name? What CDs did C22 put out while he was in the band?

[REINER]

The songs are copyrighted to C22 as a group. There have been rumors of SLM recording them themselves. Tom was in C22 for Keasbey Nights.

[skankinBassist]

go to something like "upcoming releases"... you'll find "Keasby Nights II"

[fightwarnotwars]

i like botar better than SM...

[Brain Toad]

Stretlight is the best, followed by BOTAR, and followed by Catch 22. I don't really like any post Keasby Catch though.

[PunkGuitarist]

Streetlight is the best, then Catch 22 with Tomas. BOTAR is pretty good. I thought KN II came out in january or something. And Streetlight plays C22 songs live.

[Permanent Solution]

The way I understood it, Tomas wanted to tour less and about half agreed and half didn't. So the ones who didn't want to tour left to create a new band and spent more time in the studio, though SM tours now oddly enough. I might be wrong though :-/

[Coma_Girl]

slm = way better than c22

Yea.. you're pretty much correct. And about the "streetlight is now touring" thing: have you ever decided you didn't like something, then later in life you realize that you actually don't mind it?

Interesting to actually see that on their record label now. I keep hearing it's fake info etc..

Haha, of course...it's just sad they had to break up the band over that now that they are touring :-/

[Harper Only]

I hate streetlight

Old Catch is way better than streetlight.

The lyrics where better, the horns where better. MUCH MORE ENERGY.

**** sm

[POINTLESS5448]

**** you, streetlight kicks ***.

[mike79]

both of these bands have always sucked the **** big time. and seeing uncoordinated white kids doing the running man at ska shows doesn't get much better.

[PoisonParadox]

Unless you watched a live video, which I don't know why you would considering you hate the bands.. why the hell would you pay to go to one of their shows?

[TheNowhereman42]

BOTAR are the bestest, would be better than SM if they had more material I think

[TheBouncingSoul]

whos botar? I probally know, but its not ringing any bells.

And SLM pwns c22 any day of the year.

/thread

[REINER]

Bandits of the Accoustic Revolution.

[TheBouncingSoul]

Never heard of them then. What are they like?
