Catch 22 is a fun loving ska punk band from New Jersey whose second release is chock full of bouncy, horn flavored punk tunes that will have you bobbing your head ("Arm To Arm", "Wreck of Sloop John B"). Touching on the ska side of the fence, Catch 22 also has a firm sense of hardcore and punk in their arsenal, and they're not afraid to bring it out either ("Hard To Impress"). While there's nothing that stands out that would make this CD essential, it's definitely worth a spin if you need a lift from a bad day or if you'd like to turn off the world and have a good time for a while. If you dig ska and punk, and would like to hear a passionate interpretation of it, check out Catch 22's latest.
