[QUOTE=Jessizzle;14403741]dude i love seeing catch 22 live, i love the new album just as much as KN[/QUOTE]
Really? I haven't even given it a decent listen yet. I just haven't bothered since I really REALLY did not like Dinosaur Sounds.

I assume you've all seen the new message on [url]http://www.acousticbandits.com/[/url] ?

Woot no I hadn't but HEEYY!! Good news about the full lenght!
I don't really understand what that "West coas division" means though.

This is going to be a legendary summer of ska. I dont think SM/Botar will leave my car's cd player.

Who else are releasing new stuff?
I know about Big D and Mad Caddies.

Apparently No Doubt are supposed to be putting out a new album.

yeah, Im excited for No Doubt to get back together. This Gwen solo stuff is horrible. Hopefully they dont sound too much like their last album though.

If they actually come out...

Yeah I agree. So is this a confirmed thing? I've just heard about it from different people

Don't know but they probably won't play ska anyway so I don't really care since their latest stuff was terrible.
What's a good No Doubt album?

Their self-titled is full-on 3rd wave ska punk, The Beacon Street Collection, Tragic Kingdom is my favorite of theirs, it has a lot of solid ska tracks (Spiderwebs) but not all of it has horns. It went "diamond" though, which is 10,000,000 records sold. Return of Saturn is really good too.

Then there is Rock Steady. It was okay I guess, but totally not ska. It has a lot of reggae influence in some of the songs though.

I think Rocksteady is worth it for 'Underneath it all'

Is the version of total hate on Deacon Street the one with Brad knowell rapping?

If you mean the sweet ska break down. Oh yeah...it's there.

Are the dates on streetlight's site from 06 or 07?

They are not current.

Man do I love these bands. Catch 22 alone got me into ska music via "As the footsteps die out forever".

Damn, I thought I was going to see them, lol

I'm really excited they're coming to albany. They played in poughkeepsie a year ago, but the day before I was gunna go see them I had a pretty serious accident and thrashed up my hand, so I couldn't go. I still have the tickets :upset:

send them a sad email and maybe they will value the tickets.

wow, they have a HUGE entry on wiki. top 3 favourite bands easily and i didn't BOTAR happened before SM. or that heres to life was a BOTAR song first. i thought they stopped pressing 'a call to arms' but i was able to a copy at their show, it made me so happy :)

They repressed A Call To Arms. The original is out of print.

damnit, they'd better come to Toronto then, cause i've already tickets for rise against on july 7th so i can't see even it in buffalo now.

I need to get tickets for this soon.

F[I]u[/I]ck, terrible venue.

I'm going for sure. Buying tickets real soon. I got screwed over the last couple times I tried to see this band.

I just hope they'll go on that europe tour after the american one as the've promised.

[size=2]God damn it you as[/size][size=2]sholes come to Seattle.[/size]

I am most likely going to see them at the Wiltern. I've heard it's a sh[COLOR="Black"]itty[/COLOR] venue, is this true?

They live in my town :)
