Catch 22 was a local ska/punk band that played a lot of the shows I was going to in the mid 90s.

My zine, Free Refills, was the first to interview the band and I took a lot of the first pictures and videos of the band

Venue: "The Cove" at 108 Chestnut St. Roselle, NJ on May 24th, 1996.

i want the person who filmed this to know that by putting this up on the internet is the best thing they have ever done in their life (besides having kids maybe) and that they just made me incredibly happy.

I'm drunk so had to listen back and it really is the into to a Streetlight song! I feel like I'm listening to the future and the past at the same time. Great Scott!!!!!!!!!

Now we know how long it takes Toh to finalise a song 😅

Glad they introduced everybody. 15:51. These 5 are great, and it's great to see some footage of them together. I did miss Ryan.
