Streetlight Manifesto is a third wave ska punk band from New Brunswick, New Jersey, under the creative leadership of singer/guitarist Tomas Kalnoky. Since forming in 2002, the band has released four full-length albums.
Several of Streetlight's members were already well known among the New Jersey ska community for their roles in past ska bands from that area, most notably Catch 22's Tomas Kalnoky, James Egan, Mike Soprano, and Josh Ansley, as well as One Cool Guy's Stuart Karmatz, Pete Sibilia, Dan Ross, and Chris Paszik.

Several of Streetlight's members were already well known among the New Jersey ska community for their roles in past ska bands from that area, most notably Catch 22's Tomas Kalnoky, James Egan, Mike Soprano, and Josh Ansley, as well as One Cool Guy's Stuart Karmatz, Pete Sibilia, Dan Ross, and Chris Paszik.
The band's first album, Everything Goes Numb, was released on August 26, 2003, and was distributed by Victory Records. They headlined their first ever show at Rutgers University on December 9, 2003 in front of a sold out audience.
The line-up has gone through several changes since the band's conception and currently consists of Matt Stewart on trumpet, Mike Brown on alto and baritone saxophone, Jim Conti on alto and tenor saxophone, Tomas Kalnoky on guitar and lead vocals, Pete McCullaugh on bass guitar, Karl Lyden on trombone, and Chris Thatcher on drums.
Though the band has enjoyed little mainstream commercial success, they have received acclaim in alternative music circles, and their debut album is currently in Interpunk.com's top 100 items, over 2 years after its release. In addition, they regularly sell out their live shows, and their first few shows at Rutgers and The Stone Pony not only sold out, but had people coming from as far as Minnesota and Canada. Their second album, a reworking of Catch 22's Keasbey Nights was released on March 7, 2006.
Streetlight Manifesto's third album, entitled Somewhere in the Between came out on November 13, 2007. Rumors also have it that the band is currently working on a series of 8 albums entitled "The 99 Songs of Revolution" in co-operation with Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, a side-project of singer Tomas Kalnoky slated for release in early 2009.
On November 17, 2009, the band's website announced that "99 Songs of Revolution: Volume One" has been ready for release for quite some time but "some record labels are just plain horrendous." They are also in the process of arranging a tour for 2010 but will spend some time in the studio until they have "a few records to release."
The first album of 99 Songs of Revolution was released on March 16, 2010. On this CD, the band covered songs by artists such as The Postal Service, Radiohead, and NOFX.

It used to be common for tombstones to be themed like that,
With art, messages or poems that conveyed:
"hi! Im dead!
Hopefully Im not in hell.
I used to be alive just like you!
So dont forget about hell.
Enjoy your life but be a good person, because you're gonna die too!"
They're called "memento mori" stones.
Catholic memento mori stones request the person passing by to say a prayer for the deceased, . Some kinds of Protestant ones are pretty bleak though!
nuclear disaster
lyrics:
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet.
This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around.
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.
Now the D and the A and the M
And the N and the A
And the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame
Sergio Schnitzler
Traducción al español:
En el más allá
Puedes ser llevado a un problema serio
Ahora haces la escena todo el día
Pero mañana habrá un infierno en el que las pagarás
Gente escuchen atentamente
Hablo de calamidades futuras
Solía pensar que la idea era obsoleta
Hasta que escuché al viejo patalear.
Este es un lugar en el que eternamente
El cuerpo es puesto en llamas
Les extraen los dientes y muelen los huesos
Luego los hornean en pasteles que se reparten
Belleza, talento, fama, dinero, refinamiento
Grandes habilidades y cerebro
Pero todo lo que tratas de esconder
Será revelado en el otro lado.
... Hagan el Horno! ...
Dame la D, dame la A y la M
Y la N y la A
Y la T y la I-O-N
(Damnation=condenado al infierno)
Belleza, talento, ...
Dame la D, dame la A y la M...
Pierdes el rostro, pierdes el nombre
Luego te ponen un traje de fuego

I burned this CD for my grandpa who was a huge swing dancer in the 30’s and 40’s and it blew him away. That’s a seal of approval in my opinion.
Roger Smith
I miss burning CDs and mixes
Eldridge José
That's awesome man 🤘😎
Curious George
I would say that verifies giving this a good listen.
Trevor Sloas

People who didn't live through the 1990s really missed out,things got really strange at times and it was great being a teenager during that mindfuck
Rene Harde
Until that endless post-grunge crap took over rock radio

Absolutely. I was 16 in 96. How I loved swing music lol. There was a playboy issue that had all the swing music slang lol.
Joe Mcintyre
I was 13 in 91 so real talk. Mindfuck is a great way to describe that decade
