It's time to jump into your time machines back to 1998 for this release. Actually, this is a re-recording of KEASBEY NIGHTS performed by members of Catch 22 and New Jersey's own One Cool Guy. Bringing it back to 2006, Streetlight Manifesto has reformed not as a side project but as a full-time band. With this re-recording, it's safe to say they plan on reliving those third-wave ska memories. This album is jam-packed with catchy, upbeat punk-ska. Their sound resembles that of many Southern California ska acts of the '90s such as The Scholars and Jeffries Fan Club. Let the critics say ska is dead-I'm sure Streetlight Manifesto will be at the head of the line ready to prove them wrong.
