Anyone ever listen to Streetlight Manifesto? They're by far my favorite ska band so far. Awesome to listen to while high. Same with Reel Big Fish and stuff.

Reel Big Fish is by far my favorite ska band, I start listening to them and I end up letting every album play through before I change it.

Check out Streetlight Manifesto then, their new album (Somewhere in the between) is pretty fucking fire.

Yep. You do know Thomas Kalanosky (sp?), the lead singer of Streetlight Manifesto, wrote the entire Keasby Nights album when he was a part of Catch 22. That's why he remade it; he owns it. haha

Everything Goes Numb by Streetlight = Best Album Made By Mankind.

"A Better Place, A Better Time" and "Point/Counterpoint" are recurring pieces whenever my buddies and I listen to music. They're just so beautiful. And the whole album deals with social outcasts and violence; it's such a thought-provoking album.

Reel Big Fish is awesome too but they're more laid back reggae ska rock than anything. Streetlight Manifesto is punk rock ska.

I wasn't comparing anything about them except the genre's... Both bands are awesome though. If I'm in the mood for something witty and laid back then I'll go for some Reel Big Fish. If I'm in the mood for something upbeat and energetic then I'll go for Streetlight Manifesto.

Streetlight Manifesto is the absolute greatest thing to ever happen to ska.

They helped redeem an entire genre of music, after so many years of garbage pop punk "ska" poisoning the airwaves.

And considering Streetlight Manifesto is made up of members of Catch 22 and One Cool Guy, you should also check out those bands, and also, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (Streetlight unplugged).

RBF, The Aquabats, Less Than Jake, Big D, Goldfinger, Five Iron Frenzy, all garbage. Can't stand that stuff.

Streetlight for life!

BOTAR is fucking amazing. "They Provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece that you will paint on the inside of your eyelids" is the GREATEST song to skank to ever.

But I do like RBF. Their concerts are amazing. They sound better live than on their albums.

"Vincent Van Gogh, Why do you weep?
You were on your way to heaven, but the road was steep
And who was there to break your fall?
We're guilty, One and All

And I don't know much, but I do know this
With a golden heart, comes a rebel fist
But I can't help agreeing with those that would not quit."
