From Askew Reviews


Catch 22
Alone in a Crowd

by Brian Clark

Wow, I'm exhausted from skanking to this entire disc. Hailing from the Jersey scene, Catch 22 plays great punk influenced ska with lightning fast vocals. This is not like the regular ska you know. This is pure greatness. "Point the Blame" is my favorite track, the first one after the intro, but not taking anything away from the other tracks. "Arm to Arm" sounds just like all the punk I listen to, and you know what that is from previous reviews. These guys even cover a Beach Boys song! Even though the Beach Boys suck, Catch 22's version of "Wreck of the Sloop John B." is smokin'. 22 were in Boston last summer and I missed every show they put on. If they come back, I'll be there and so should you. If you've heard of this disc you should already be at the record store. – Brian Clark
