I'm not sure if anyone has listened to this yet, but after Funeral For A Friend's sound fucked up at Reading this year, this band seemed to get a good response. Watching this band at Reading was one of the most fun moments I had all weekend, and hopefully this album will explain why. Streetlight Manifesto are one of the leading bands in the Ska-Punk genre. I realise the phrase 'Ska-Punk' is liable to immediately put people off. With it comes connotations of 15 year old girls with dreadlocks trying desperately to reject every convention society has put in front of them - including music which sells well, based largely on the fact that it's popular. But this album displays none of that: it's really just a bit cheeky (for lack of a better word) and I hope you all enjoy it.Alex x
