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. During this time, the band began touring heavily on a national scale, appearing with Mustard Plug, Reel Big Fish, and other third-wave ska, hardcore, and punk acts. Davidson and Soprano left the band in 2001 to pursue other projects, and for a while the band actively courted new vocalists, even putting an advertisement on their website. The group also recruited Ian Mckenzie, formerly of Long Island, New York ska band Edna's Goldfish, on trombone/vocals.
After a fruitless search, the band decided to continue on as it was, with Ryan Eldred and Kevin Gunther sharing vocal duties. Washed Up and Through the Ringer, an expansion of the Washed Up! EP, was released in 2001, featuring two new songs, three rarities from the Alone In A Crowd era, and a handful of live tracks recorded in October 2000 at Club Laga in Pittsburgh and Euclid Tavern in Ohio. The band released its third full-length album, Dinosaur Sounds, in 2003. This was roughly the same time that Streetlight Manifesto, a band founded by former Catch 22 frontman Tomas Kalnoky and featuring Josh Ansley and Jamie Egan (as well as former members of the NJ ska band One Cool Guy) released their debut, Everything Goes Numb. Both albums featured veiled attacks on each other, suggesting to many fans that there was some sort of disagreement or heat between Catch 22 and Streetlight Manifesto. This was true, although the two parties have since reconciled their differences. Given that Catch 22's Kevin Gunther is in charge of Streetlight Manifesto's tour booking, and members of both bands have said in conversations with fans that there is no "beef" between the two, it is safe to assume that any disagreement is firmly behind them.
In 2004, Catch 22 released Live, a combination CD and DVD recording of a show performed in Farmingdale, New York earlier that year.
Several bands who opened for Catch 22 in the past have gone on to find fame on the mainstream, including Sum 41, Bowling For Soup, Thursday, and Taking Back Sunday.
Catch 22's fourth studio album, titled Permanent Revolution, was released on June 27, 2006. The album can be classified as a concept album, centering around the life of Leon Trotsky (1879 - 1940); the title represents a theorum called Permanent Revolution that Trotsky had been associated with.

BIOGRAPHY
CATCH 22 was formed by T.J. Berry (vocals, guitar) in 1992 in Marietta, Ohio. When grunge was hitting it big, CATCH 22 stayed true to their art form (metal) and treaded on.
In 1994 their first 6 song demo tape, "Crazier Than Life", was released. One song from this demo, "Fate Keeps On Happening", scored a spot on the Rodell Records compilation "Sounds From The Underground". That was a brave move from Rodell Records because at that time CATCH 22 were considered very uncool as anything metal was labeled uncool.
In 1995 they recorded a 3 song tape, that gained them some national exposure and encouraged them to record a full length CD entitled "Through Eyes Of Pain" in 1997. They scored distribution and a Metal Edge magazine ad from Perris Records, that is known for glam metal, but saw the potential of the band and couldn't resist it.
In 1998 CATCH 22 released their second album, "Time Reveals All", to rave reviews from all over the world. Songs such as "Burn" and "Think For Yourself" still pop up at the band's live shows. CATCH 22 played at the March Metal Meltdown in New Jersey. The year was 2000 and they were surrounded by death metal cookie monster vocals and the outcast once again, waving the flag of true metal loud and proud.
The following year saw the beginning of a great relationship for CATCH 22 with the Classic Metal Festival series. They went to Kalamazoo (Michigan) to play the first annual CMF. At CMF 2 they met J.B. Mestad which led to his label Molten Metal, releasing CATCH 22 third album, "Awaken", in 2003.
CATCH 22 played at Classic Metal Festivals 1, 2, 4 and 5 and have shared the stage with TESTAMENT, EXCITER, ANVIL, OMEN, ATTACKER, HALLOWS EVE, S.O.D., SEVEN WITCHES, CAGE, DORO and many other well known acts.
CATCH 22 were featured on four tribute CDs released by Dwell Records, performing songs of KING DIAMOND, TESTAMENT, WHITE ZOMBIE and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.
In December 2006 CATCH 22 entered the studio again to record songs for the new album. The sessions resulted in 22 heavy and diverse power/thrash metal cuts, however due to the limited budget only half of these songs saw the light of day, being released by the band under the title "Soulreaper Vol. 1" in 2007. This CD got many great reviews from all over the globe, however it was more of a promo without the booklet, so Metal On Metal Records decided to release "Soulreaper" the way it was planned by the band in the first place: as a double CD with all the songs, lyrics plus a lot of additional artwork in the booklet.

The Suffering
Catch 22 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where twilight descends
Wicked from the womb we rise
From underneath the skin
Answering the calling
To face our fate at hand
The forming of pure evil
Created by man
Leaves blood upon the bricks
Damaged lost and suffering
Into the black we slip
The lyrics to Catch 22's The Suffering depict a haunting and bleak world where humanity is consumed by darkness and despair. The opening lines "Awaken on the otherside / Where twilight descends" set the tone for the song, suggesting a place of limbo between life and death. The line "Wicked from the womb we rise / From underneath the skin" implies that the very essence of humanity is corrupt, and that we are doomed to suffer from our own inherent flaws.
The second verse continues this theme, describing the formation of "pure evil" that was "created by man." This speaks to the idea that humanity is capable of creating its own destruction, whether it be through war, environmental degradation, or any number of other ways. The chorus speaks to the idea of suffering and betrayal, and the sense that we are all somehow implicated in it. The final line, "Into the black we slip," suggests a fatalistic acceptance of our fate, that we are powerless to escape the suffering that we have brought upon ourselves.
Overall, the lyrics to The Suffering are a bleak and powerful indictment of the darkness that lies within human nature. They suggest that we are doomed to suffer from our own flaws and that the only way to avoid this fate is to confront our own demons and try to find a way to rise above them.
Line by Line Meaning
Awaken on the otherside
We come to consciousness on a new plane of existence
Where twilight descends
As night falls and darkness envelops us
Wicked from the womb we rise
We are inherently twisted and corrupted from birth
From underneath the skin
Our depravity lies just beneath the surface of our outward appearance
Answering the calling
We heed the summons of our sinister nature
To face our fate at hand
We accept the inevitable consequences of our actions
The forming of pure evil
Our maleficent deeds coalesce into an unadulterated expression of malice
Created by man
Our evil is a product of human endeavor
Betrayal of the masses
We deceive and disappoint those who trust us
Leaves blood upon the bricks
Our treachery results in violence and destruction
Damaged lost and suffering
We are broken, misguided, and in pain
Into the black we slip
Our downfall is inevitable and leads to utter darkness

What I liked about the story involving Torque is it never tries to tell you what to think of him. You get the equivalent of a page 4 newspaper article on what happened to his family, the opinions of some of the characters who also read that article and have to decide for yourself what kind of man (or monster) Torque really is. Kind of refreshing to be honest.

Totally agree. It let's you form your own opinion, and that's not a trick used often in games.
