Advantages: All pick me up Ska Punk Disadvantages: All the songs sound the same
...Catch22 are a happy-go-lucky ska-punk band that you just can't help but smile at. This is a great band if your into less than jake or reel big fish.
The band take up the normal 3rd wave ska instroments, a guitar, a bass, drum and a brass section. Every song is good but for all the same reasons so they all sound the same a bit. The sounds are all about loving, hating, losing and drinking.

Advantages: Great album/performance Disadvantages: Broken furniture from stage dives off the TV
...Bring the party to my house. Catch22 from New Jersey has rock my place for quite sometime thanks to this live album with a bonus DVD. You will actually feel like your there with Catch22 enjoying all of the perks to ska music.
This album has a great selection of tracks including: "On and ON and On", 9mm and a Three piece suit", "Dear Sergio" "Point the blame", "1234 1234", and "Rocky".
The Dvd is the show that you just heard on the CD but with bonus videos and more amusement by watching Catch22 perform. Great sound quality, especially the horn section. You might have some broken furniture if you decide to play this album at a party. With people stage diving off of you TV and what not....
