There are several bands called Catch 22, including ones in the ska (1), metal (2), jazz, American alternative, and 1980s UK punk genres. German tech-house producers Daniel Girresser & Michael Erb also use the name.
1) Catch 22 (ska):
Catch 22 is a third-wave ska band based in New Jersey. The band was formed in 1995 by drummer Chris Greer and vocalist Tomas Kalnoky. They released a self-produced demo tape, Rules of the Game, in 1996. All 2000 copies of the tape quickly sold out. The band mailed several copies to labels they were interested in working with, including Gainesville, Florida’s Toybox Records (which had previously released a 7” by Less Than Jake). Toybox was owned and operated by Sean Bonner, who had recently moved to Chicago, Illinois to work at Victory Records. Sean brought the tape to the Victory office and suggested the band be signed.
The band then signed to Victory and produced their first studio album, 1998’s Keasbey Nights. Ansley left and was replaced by Pat Calpin. Kalnoky left the band shortly thereafter, having decided to continue his education rather than tour. Catch 22 continued on with Pat Calpin moved to guitar, Pat “Mingus” Kays on bass, and Jeff Davidson on vocals. The band tested out their new lineup with the 1999 EP Washed Up!. Egan left to continue teaching. Alone in a Crowd followed in 2000 with Mike Soprano on trombone.

I like Catch's Keasbey better because it has more soul. End of discussion.

Yeah, what Armagideon12 said is pretty stupid. If you do a cover of a song in higher quality, that doesn't automatically make the cover better than the original. It's all down to the listeners opinion. (And it's not the same album remastered.)

I used to think that SLM's version was better. Then I actually gave the C22 one a chance. They're both great albums. That said, Keasbey Nights is a tad overrated.

Well it's really down to personal opinion, Catch 22'2 keasbey is the original and it sound a lot more raw, lots of people like that. I can't choose one over the other but saying that it's not possible for Catch 22's to be better is ridiculous.

RevyFan, that doesn't make sense... How can Catch 22's Keaseby be better than Streetlight's? It's the same album, just mastered better and with more and better solos. It's actually not possible for Catch 22's to be better, because Streetlight's is literally done better. And no way does Streetlight ever get annoying. I mean, unless you really dislike unbelievably good music... Then I could see them getting pretty annoying.

I don't know, man. But Streetlight gets annoying after a while, Catch 22's Keasebey Nights is fucking epic and timeless.

RevyFan wrote:
Kalnoky is the man, but everything Streetlight has made is worse than Catch 22 - Keasbey Nights. Even their re-recording of the same album.

Theres no denying how god-like Kalnoky is, but alone in a crowd is still a masterpiece imo

Armagideon12 wrote:
Um, ac7454, who would disagree with that? Tomas Kalnocky is pretty much a demi-god, and everything he touch pretty much turns to gold... So, obviously, Streetlight is better than... well, pretty much everyone.

the best songs on here are from keasbey nights so I don't see how kalnoky not being in the band makes them better? I personally feel that streetlight manifesto is a better band...

"catch 22 are so much better without tomas kalnoky, fuck you tomas. " <<< that may be your personal opinion - granted however that top 15 list is mostly filled with keasbey nights stuff so i dont think the masses agree
