Wes’s Life

Theres a whole bunch of crap that hap­pened between Catch 22 and Street­light Man­i­festo. Street­light Man­i­festo spawned from an amaz­ingly tal­ented band — Catch 22 — when some bick­er­ing came to be or some­thing else…I’m not sure. Any­ways, they are both good bands with sim­i­lar sounds.

Yet, Street­light Man­i­festo went where it should not have gone. They are releas­ing an album called “Keasby Nights” which will be a DIRECT copy of the orig­i­nal “Keasby Nights” by Catch 22. I don’t care who sounds better or if the lead singer from Catch 22 left for Street­light Man­i­festo in the mess, this is utter crap. I like punk and ska covers of songs because its a dif­fer­ent twist. This album is not a col­lec­tion of covers, its a directo copy of an album.

My rec­om­men­da­tion to people would be to NOT buy Street­light Manifesto’s ver­sion of the album, but to go buy Catch 22’s, which hap­pens to be the orig­i­nal. It’s a great album, but don’t buy the copy, buy the orig­i­nal.

Appar­ently this was meant to be a remas­ter­ing of the album because they didn’t like the qual­ity of record­ing. My opin­ion on the matter is, make new music and leave what is good alone.
