The New Jersey ska-punk outfit Streetlight Manifesto grew out of deuce similar late-'90s groups from the region, One Cool Guy and Catch-22. Delivering a brassy, upbeat brand of third gear wave ska -- complete with punk-styled melodies courtesy of vocaliser Tomas Kalnoky -- the band made its debut in 2003 with Everything Goes Numb. Two age of touring followed as Streetlight Manifesto played numberless shows aboard Whole Wheat Bread, Mu330, Bedouin Soundclash, and Gym Class Heroes. However, personnel department changes and equipment thieving proved to be patronize setbacks. In October 2005, the band was robbed of well-nigh $80,000 worth of equipment and possessions from its van, only to suffer some other looting while on enlistment in Europe the selfsame future calendar month. Streetlight Manifesto all over 2005 by touring alongside the Tossers on the brief (and suitably coroneted) Please Stop Robbing Us Tour.
Keasbey Nights, a re-recorded version of the 1998 Catch-22 album, was released in March 2006, and the band spent the summer orifice for Reel Big Fish and MxPx on a national co-headlining tour of duty. Streetlight Manifesto continued to tour of duty with Reel Big Fish for much of the odd year, as well as a expectant clod of 2007. Frequent concert dates didn't forestall the band from returning to the studio, nevertheless, and Streetlight Manifesto released the full-length record album Somewhere in the Between in November 2007.
