if it was the old lead singer for Catch 22, it would be an amazing show. you should check out Streetlight Manifesto. the lead singer of that band is the old lead singer of Catch 22. sounds just like them except the songs are longer (which is crazy for ska songs but it's true).
^excellent point. However, you forgot the Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, Tom's acoustic ska project (they're the guys who originally recorded "Here's to Life").
Lastly, there's GIMP, Tom's band from even before Catch22. They don't play ska, but there is an early (and slow) version of Supernothing on their (only) tape. Apparantly Tom's brother is the one who played the violin on it.
In case I've never mentioned Streetlight Manifesto to you (which I'd find hard to believe, I praise them constantly), follow the advice Josh has given you. Remember how I told you that Keasbey Nights is considered one of the greatest third wave ska albums ever? Well Everything Went Numb is considered the "true" follow up to it. Definitely one of the best ska albums of this decade.

Also, Catch22's demo tape, from before Keasbey Nights, "Rules of the Game" is a good one, if you can get past the rough audio that is.
