Streetlight albums never release on schedule, so I’m sure we’ll be waiting a while yet lol. But one thing’s for sure, whenever it does come out it’s going to be fucking magical. Streetlight never disappoints when they do eventually deliver.
I was just looking for Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution last week, and was very confused when I found Streetlight with the same songs, but way faster than I remembered. I knew Bandits was the guys from Catch 22, but I never knew of Streetlight Manifesto, or don’t remember being aware.
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!
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.
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.
There’s a new album coming out this fall, three tracks were already released.
And honestly even if it gets delayed, what’s another 6 months at this point

Love a bit of Streetlight but the release of Keasby Nights as Catch 22 was better IMO

Much love to all your Streetlight comments.

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
