Catch Twenty-Two

Keasbey Nights

Victory

Finally, a band has come along to inject some new life into ska. The genre has been in dire need of a freshening breeze for quite some time now and I had about given up, but these guys are wonderful.

This band takes the epitome of ska and blends it with the cream of punk, hardcore, and big band, resulting in a hybrid of righteous listenability. Combining tongue-in-cheek humor and dead-serious social issues, Catch Twenty-two comes off as a band with a mission.

We can expect great things from this group. Buy this CD; you will not be disappointed. Victory Records, P.O. Box 146546, Chicago IL 60614
