[QUOTE=PaintJessGreen]huh?

I enjoyed Catch 22s Dinasour sounds album, im wondering if they are talking about a even newer one, since that one isnt new really.[/QUOTE]
I was talking about Permanent Revolution.

[QUOTE=Henrik]I was talking about Permanent Revolution.[/QUOTE]
oh. I havnt heard about this album. i must get it.

catch 22 are now a boring rock band with horns thrown in.

Kind of like Big D.

I even liked Catch 22 for the first album after Tomas left. But when the second singer left and the sax player started singing, they got pretty horrible.

White stained lips is a sh[FONT="Verdana"]i[/FONT]tty song.

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]Kind of like Big D.[/QUOTE]

Do they actually sound like Big D?

I know this isn't what you were aiming for, but Big D and the Kids Table is probably my favorite band with Streetlight Manifesto right behind them.

I've never heard new Catch 22, mostly because I've heard so many people say how terrible they are, but If they actually sound like Big D, I think I might enjoy them.

No they're worse than Big D.

What I was getting at was that Big D aren't really a ska band.. just a pop-punk band with horns.

I think the new catch 22 album has a very cool album cover.

After a quick amazon search, I'd agree.

is the album any good?

Meh.. not really.

how long do you think streetlight will get on this reel big fish tour? i'm guessing/hoping 40 minutes

Mostly... but there are a few ska songs thrown in... You Lost, You're Crazy is pretty good.

I like what I've heard of Big D... What's their best album?

[QUOTE=Henrik]I like what I've heard of Big D... What's their best album?[/QUOTE]

Good Luck is really good and lots say it is a must own ska album. Ive hear some of their new stuff and it is pretty good but i have yet to get one of their later albums

[QUOTE=jettadude77]is the album any good?[/QUOTE]

Permanent Revolution is good. One of the better mainstream ska albums in the last couple years. It's a darker sound and overall better sound than Dinosaur Sounds and competes with Alone In the Crowd I would say. One thing I will say is that if you [U]strongly[/U] hated Dinosaur Sounds, this album probably isnt going to change your views too much on the new Catch 22. However, it is better and different, so still worth a listen. When it is released and reviewed I plan on giving it a solid 4. Better than OK, but not Great.

i like both good luck and how it goes, they are similar and different. good luck has a bunch of my favorites like can't be caught and 51 gardener. how it goes has 20 songs and i like most all of them, that's just me though.

So How it Goes has a lot of good songs and good Luck has a few awesome songs on it???

I just recently got into Streetlight Manifesto. I must say that they are simply amazing. I have yet to hear any Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution, but I look forward to it when I have the time to download an album or something.

There's a 5-track EP, that's it. One track is the original "Here's to Life", another is a cover of "Dear Sergio", and one is an intro. It's called "A Call to Arms", and it was just released by Victory (originally it was all hand-done...there's only a few out there..probably a couple hundred...anyone know?)

Someone in this thread once told me that there were about 200 copies... But I am not sure though. I would love to have an original copy...

I just ordered the EP yesterday since I couldn't get my hands on an original...

As to the big d question, How It Goes is my favorite album.

I would have ordered the ep some time ago, but the shipping just turned out very expensive.

[QUOTE=Henrik]So How it Goes has a lot of good songs and good Luck has a few awesome songs on it???[/QUOTE]
no, good luck is awesome. i've just listened to how it goes more often. listen to them both. now.

I have an original BOTAR EP. I was under the impression there were a few thousand out there, though.

How did you get it? Sounds really cool.

[QUOTE=Henrik]I would have ordered the ep some time ago, but the shipping just turned out very expensive.[/QUOTE]
I would have ordered it a while ago but their stupid ordering site thing didn't work forever and now that it does, they don't take checks. Stupid stupid thing...the Static Age's webstore is credit-card only as well :angry:

They were selling from the BOTAR or RISC website when it first released for a while. Everyone that looks at my cds comments about it because it sticks out pretty obviously.

As long as you realise how lucky you are it's fair.

Is [I]A Call to Arms[/I] BOTAR's only release?

Yes.

The rumours say they will have a new full length out this year.

[QUOTE=Henrik]The rumours say they will have a new full length out this year.[/QUOTE]
I dont think they are rumors. I thought the website qouted Tom saying there would be more material out this year..

[QUOTE=Deconstruction]I dont think they are rumors. I thought the website qouted Tom saying there would be more material out this year..[/QUOTE]
though i would love to believe this, they've pushed back release dates for awhile now, i will wait until victory records has it advertised like they did with keasbey nights before i believe anything.

If BOTAR and Streetlight released a full lenght album this year I would cry.

Streetlight updated their website with tour dates but without a new blog. I think Tomas is ashamed because the album will not come out till next year.

Still not coming back here.

I like Streetlight Manifesto a lot. I got their record recently (Everything Goes Numb). Every song is good. There isn't a bad track on it. In a couple weeks I get the privelage to see them with Reel Big Fish and MxPx.

I'm seeing them on their tour with Reel Big Fish as well. Should be a good time.

Where are they on tour at the moment? I finally got my copy of 'everything goes numb' and I cant stop listening to it, why is MX right about everything?
