Today I will be talking about one of the most famous albums in ska, Keasby Nights by Catch 22. It was possibly the best Pre-streetlight album in my opinion and can not got not listened too. It was a revolutionary album in ska punk and truly is a favorite of mine. Remember to add me on Last.fm here.

Streetlight Manifesto version
The album was also re-recorded by Streetlight Manifesto, and I personally think that both sound very similar. I have both and can't really recommend which one is better
Here is my favorite song from the album: Dear Sergio
As always I must leave you with a random video to leave, and I think that it is a good one:
Thanks guys, see ya tommorow!

ReplyDeletethanks for the new knowledge!
ReplyDeleteHaha, the alien speaking video was so weird, I like it. He speaks more languages than I do, lol.
ReplyDelete"Dear Sergio" is still one of my favorite opening tracks of any album. Ever. I can still remember the first time I heard it in my friend's garage. Classic.
