It's been six years since Streelight Manifesto's last album, but strong songwriting, creative arrangements, and one of the best horn sections in rock music make The Hands That Thieve almost worth the wait. It's clear from listening to The Hands That Thieve that Streetlight Manifesto puts a lot of work into their songwriting and arranging. They have one of the best horn sections of any band in rock music, and they fully utilize them. The horns are an essential and featured part of every song, and the band uses them to effectively experiment in genres well outside [...]

According to a update from Streetlight Manifesto , the companion acoustic version of The Hand That Thieves has been cancelled. The band said this: The Toh Kay album The Hand That Thieves has been canceled for the foreseeable future. [And] due to Victory Records refusal to send us copies of our own new album, there will be another delay in our ability to deliver preorders on time. We hoped to find a compromise with them, up until the bitter end; unfortunately, it just wasn't [...]

The fact that Streetlight can still put out an engaging sonic object is inspiring. They have worked in their mostly self-defined space for a decade, not including the Catch 22 days, pioneering ahem-ahem third-and-a-half-wave ska. [...]

Shocking to probably many of you, Less Than Jake is still around and cranking out ska.  Even more shocking to most of you, that music is still pretty damn good.  Now I know that ever since they abandoned ska with their erhm ... pop-friendly In With The Out Crowd that they lost a lot of their older fans, including myself.  However they had a return to form with their 2008 release of GNV FLA that was incredibly solid, and let me go ahead and say that their compilation [...]

Well we've finally gotten our first round of warm summer-esque weather here in Philadelphia, and I didn't waste a minute heading out to my ancestral homeland of NJ's beaches.  On my ride over though, I needed an album that just reminded me of summer, and Mustard Plug's Evildoers Beware just hit the right spot. Released back in 1997, Evildoers Beware was actually my first introduction to the ska band Mustard Plug, and it was actually introduced to me by a die hard metalhead.  Many moons ago, in the middle of my high school physics [...]

Sometimes you can listen to an album that will completely take you back to a particular point in your life.  For me, Big D And The Kids Table release How It Goes takes me back to my sophmore year in college where I grabbed it the day it came out in 2004.  By that point, I already been a hardcore Big D fan for a few years (I even had the wristband that I wore religiously along with my Rise Against wrist band) and was highly anticipating the release for a few months ever since I heard them [...]
