Keasby Nights is a re-made album from well-known New Jersey band Streetlight Manifesto, It was originally released way back in 98' by Catch 22 but that's a long (and interesting) story. Let me start off by saying that this album features 14 tracks of the best skank worthy songs you'll probably ever hear from a third-wave ska band. 'Keasby Nights' hits the ground running with fast paced up-tempo songs that rarely gives you time to rest. Almost every song on this album features a fitting intro then ends with a grand epic ending leaving you feel nothing short of complete. Between Thatcher's upbeat rapid drumming, Kalnoky's meaningful and deep vocals, and the entire brass sections complex but amazing fills, Streetlight prove they're just a pure orchestra of awesome.

There are a few songs that break up the action such as 'Kristina She Doesn't Know I exist' and 'As The Footsteps Die Out Forever'
but only because there slower and a bit on the sad side. Still better than average songs in my opinion though. The album's lyrics primarily focus on emotional burdens such as death, inadequacy, and overall low self-esteem while promoting a positive and optimistic outlook. This album is uplifting while disusing depressing topics, something I don't see that often. Keasby Nights has been called a 'defining album' in the third-wave ska world and for good reason. I can't think of a better way to spend $13 bucks than to purchase a copy of this. If your a fan of newer ska, older ska, or even music in general, this album is a must try.


5/5 Stars

It's been some time since I wrote an entry, I think the last one was about music or something.
I enjoy writing blogs for multiple reasons, one of them is to forget what I wright so I can re-read them at a later time and agree with myself, it makes me feel good. I'm like "Woah, I totally agree. I'm liking this Jay guy, hes got a good head on his shoulders".

This entry really doesn't have a main point...I'm just kinda writing as it comes.

So I got my music bloggy thingy up and its kinda decent in my opinion, its hard since there's so much artists I need to put up. Its really complicated to just get the basics up.
Basics are bands I listen to regularly or have in the past.
I want/plan to put up much more genres that I don't listen to, I want to appeal to everyone's musical tastes. So if you got some favorite bands you want me to put up, let me know Id be happy to hear and post.


Tidbits about me, my opinions, and/or my thoughts...
Obama will be the next president,
McCain's wife will reveal herself as Satan thirty minutes after Obama wins Florida.

Rise Against's new album came out a few weeks back, or a few months back depending on when your reading this. Its really good, you should get it, you 'could' get it at my music blog, you know...if you really wanted to.

Defiance, Ohio...

This is the current band I'm into right now, Their an anarchistic Folk Punk band from Indiana. They named themselves after the the actual town.

They feature a Acoustic Guitar, Drums, A Violin, Cello, Banjo and Upright Bass. and an actual singer who has an average voice which is probably why I like them so much. None of that fake pop-star bullshit here.
