    Where’s my fellow Streetlight Manifesto fans at? That’s the good shit right there. Beautifully written songs played by incredibly talented musicians.

    And yes, technically they’re not ska and Tomas Kalnoky will tell you as such, but they might as well be. Especially in the earlier albums.

        That’s understandable, it’s got a rougher and less polished sound that gives more classic ska punk vibes. Personally I think some songs are better on the Streetlight version (Walking Away in particular) but the Catch version has plenty to offer on its own.

          Yeh I think it is that rougher sound that appeals to me.

          Thanks for posting the comment though as I hadn’t listened to that album in fucking years but straight away after replying slapped on the Catch version and had a great time!

      Not sure. It’s hard to spot them. I just get dizzy when I think of all the ways they’re trying to hide their maladies.

        There was a major line-up here a few weeks ago: Planet Smashers, Streetlight Manifesto and The Interrupters.

        Crazy good show. If only for memories

      Tomas would tell you if he ever talked. I once spoke with one of the bands they toured with. He said that in 6 months he’d heard him say maybe 6 words. Dude shows up to sound check then vanishes into the city until curtains.
