- 👉 "Somewhere in the Between" FULL-ALBUM REACTION: / full-album-in-104266816
---------------------------------------------------
➡️ Talk about a band that ticks SO many boxes for me: catchy hooks, ripping horn melodies, fun musical curveballs, infectious chord progressions - the list goes on and on. My first time listening to Streetlight Manifesto took me on a roller coaster ride and made me forget I was even sick! Bassist Pete McCullough debuted on the band’s 2007 release “Somewhere in the Between” and sounds like the quintessential bass player who can be the song’s foundation while simultaneously doing musical somersaults around his seven other bandmates. I talk about his tone, his ability to completely change the song’s feel on a dime, and his beautifully-composed and thoughtful bass lines. I also discuss the song’s dense composition, the effectiveness of the horns’ counterpoint melodies, and how a band like this will just keep you coming back for more. Holy moly, y’all… 🤯🔥

Oh man, you better believe I’m watching that video tomorrow at work. I just got so much joy and so many smiles. After watching you discover this first song by streetlight. It was like reliving that experience where you always wish you could hear one of your favorite bands for the first time again, good stuff, my friend
Wanting to watch this video while also wanting to just listen to Streetlight Manifesto is a real catch-22.
I see what you did there
@@636mward636 😎
👀👀
Hiyooooo
LOL, under rated comment.
streetlight is dream theater for ska kids. when you find out they are spotless live, it gets even more exciting
Ha, checks out!
They're spotless live but they're also filthy live.
That's not even getting into their orchestra shows either. Those are several notches higher.
@@kiltman13 OH YEA! The concerts with the orchestra backing them...amazing!
Literally exactly that
Dude said “counterpoint” without even knowing
a point counterpoint if you will (and you will)
The fact that you're a bass teacher comes second to the enjoyment of watching someone actually enjoying and appreciating the punk songs you love
I'm enjoying watching him discover the musicianship of all these punk bands too!❤
Ska
Streetlight is the most fun crowd you’ll ever be a part of. They are insane live and the entire crowd knows every word and horn line
I know you're right because I know every lyric and every horn line
It's funny that you mentioned that the horns can offer a counterpoint melody to the vocals. They actually have a song called "Point/Counterpoint". It's a must.
Came here to say this
My thoughts exactly
Now picture all 8 playing with no sheet music, while dancing around on stage in a rock club! Great Ska musicianship fully on display 👏
Seeing them live is almost indescribable.
You have no idea...
It’s such a treat to see someone experiencing something you’ve known and loved forever for the first time. There’s this feeling of “Oh boy, wait until he gets to that part !” that just makes you smile every time.
Love the videos and the knowledge man, I learn a ton in every one of them and it helps me see songs that I know by heart in another light. Keep it up !
Thank so much - means a lot!
I grew up in NJ, a town over from where Steeetlight Manifesto formed. I remember when I was in elementary school, we had a substitute music teacher for an extended period of time who always played his trombone for us and did all kinds of cool sound effects and I just remembered being so fascinated. Fast forward a few years, around 2009, I saw Streetlight Manifesto for the first time, and the music teacher I had in elementary school just so happened to be the trombonist for Streetlight Manifesto! I’ve seen the band at least a dozen times and out of the hundreds of shows I’ve attended (punk, hardcore), they’ve always been my favorite to see live BY FAR. They play Starland Ballroom around the same time pretty much every year and it’s always a show I refuse to miss
That’s a hell of a cool story! Thanks for sharing 😍
Omg! You are so lucky. You have a really great story to tell!! ❤
Keasbey Nights baby!
That’s a great story, You’re very luck to live near them!
I live in São Paulo, Brazil, and back in 2013 when they announced that they would go on a hiatus and stop touring, I decided to go to their “last” shows, no matter what. I had never travelled to the US, so I had to get a visa, then bought the tickets and at the end of that year I found myself rocking at starland ballroom in NJ lol.
I burned through some (a lot) money I had saved but it was SO worth.
I ended up seeing them again in NY in 2015 and 2018, and while those were great, it wasn’t the same as the shows in starland. Those two shows I attended were special.
As someone who has seen Streetlight Manifesto 4/5 times, they are always tight, and it’s always a phenomenal show. Great fans, and always a good pit!
Literally always the sweetest and safest pits
streetlight was the first show that i brought my son to because of this.
Yep! I Think I'm at 8 and they're still probably my favorite band, even if it does remind me that they always take too long to put out new shit (shakes fist at Toh)
They rip live 100% seen em 4x myself
One of the few bands with horns that sound just as tight and crisp live as they do on the album!
Toh Kay is a genius in every regard. I love every project he does, and there are many lol
I've probably listened to this song a thousand times in the years I've been a Streetlight fan and to see your genuine delight of this song made me love it all over again.
You hit the nail on the head when you said it was a song that is intellectually stimulating since there is just so much going on. To see your musical breakdown of this piece was a treat and I'm sure I speak for a majority of streetlight fans when we say, "we told you so!"
Means a lot, thank you!! And, you guys definitely are picking ‘em nicely! Cheers!
I can't stop smiling. The definition of ska music
Damn, you weren't kidding when you said they were up next! 😅 Thank you so much brother.
Streetlight has been my favorite band for almost 20 years now. I've seen them live at least 30 times. I never miss them. They originated in Jersey, I live in NY, so getting to see their hometown shows multiple times a year is special.
They tour constantly, I recommend you check them out live if you get a chance! They'll blow you away man.
Great breakdown and reaction as always!
My former favorite was catch 22! ;)
Rad! Hope I can catch them sometime. Thanks for the nice words!
@@anthonydawson8080 haha makes sense!
I'm originally from North Jersey I was just a kid in the early 2000s. My uncle had a band so he showed me a lot of music tool, mudvayne, gorillaz, pink floyd, ect. He would blast a cd of their album in the car too me. They're still one of my favorite bands to this day.
Streetlight Manifesto is maybe my favorite band to see live. I live in New Jersey and they’re hometown heroes at Starland Ballroom and literally the whole time is an absolute blast
I second seeing them at the Ballroom. That's the spot.
I second seeing them at the Ballroom. That's the spot.
I second seeing them at the Ballroom. That's the spot.
@@BitcoinIsGoingToZero remember to cheer for the ihop ad!
I saw them in Boston, then the next weekend, back home in NJ last December.
I have been absolutely loving watching you dive into the genre I love so much. Streetlight Manifesto is like the end boss of Ska-Punk, their sound is like nothing else I've ever heard.
Thanks!! Yeah, gonna be tough to top this one in terms of sheer density. The horns being this prominent really makes it crazy. Intense!
You'll listen to that song 50 times, and still hear something new and amazing. SM is on their own level.
This is my "grateful dead" band. I see them every year and it's like going to church. One of the best live bands.
Also, A Better Place a Better Time starts with a baseline.
The whole album "Everything goes numb" is just perfect while A Better Place, A Better Time might be my favourite of their songs. Sadly never seen them live, wish they would visit germany once.
@@Flexflexible it's so hard to pick a favorite but if push comes to shove, that's mine too. It's incredible to sing along live. Looking at all the other faces next to you singing every word, knowing the call and response, etc. And that's the song that I use to get everyone I know into the band.
I’ve probably been in a mosh pit with you at Starland
@@antimatter2380 "Somewhere in the Between" is my favorite thing Kalnoky's ever done, but the power of "Everything Goes Numb" is undeniable
I've seen them live once, probably 15 years ago. One of the best live performances I've ever witnessed! Great chemistry on stage that was utterly contagious down on the floor!
Seeing your reaction when this track first hit reminded me of when I first discovered this band. Had no idea ska (which is overly reductive for them) could sound like this and was absolutely floored. Really fun seeing someone else go through this journey!
I got my brother to watch this video and he's going through this now too. He was always under the impression they were just a "ska band" and is now realizing, its something far different. what they do is far more advanced than anything you'd get from a reel big fish for example. Nothing against that, they're great, but this literally is like he said the prog version of ska.
Used to play in a skacore band and when we went to see them live, we were just blown away start to finish. One of the most epic live performances I’ve even seen.
I got to see both Catch 22 and Streetlight Manifesto in 2023! I just couldn't stop skankin' all over the room!
Now that he's heard this song, hopefully he checks out one of the videos of Streetlight playing it live (and has his mind blown yet again when he realizes that the album cut is the *slow* version of the song lol)
I agree. Nonstop energy, speed and precision though the whole set. I took my wife with me to the show and she didn't know their music. She loved it! And we are both 50.
I love skacore!
What's the name of your band, is there any music online?
Dude, you have no idea how happy it makes me to see someone discover Streetlight for the first time. Believe me, the community around this band is SUPERB, because we all felt the same way hearing them for the first time. The sheer amount of songwriting depth, musical virtuosity, prodound lyrics, and fun-factor across their entire discography makes it easy to love them dearly.
It's impressive how quickly you were able to pick up the bassline
The Suicide Machines have some really dope bass lines. Great ska-core band.
I love Suicide Machines
Destruction by Definition and Battle Hymns still hold up
Absolutely. Only seen them once in Green Bay or Warsaw. Can't remember exactly. But they were awesome
He should check out Break the Glass or Hey.
@@peterdelvillano9432 DEFINITELY Hey since it has that horn part
Look up "bandits of the acoustic revolution" and find live video. It's this band with a 50 piece orchestra. I saw them live in Chicago and it was unreal!
Loved that album since I was like 16. Busted it out the other day for the first time in years. Still blew me away
I have a hard time saying any one band is my favorite because of all the different genres I listen to but gun to my head I'd say Streetlight. They were my first live show 20+ years ago and I've seen them 8 times. Their performances are phenomenal. There's something special about a large band crammed on a stage playing a small venue packed with people who all know and sing every lyric to any song they play...as someone else said, it's like church. I'm a naturally depressive and pessimistic person but it all melts away at a Streetlight show. It's pure bliss. These shows are some of the only things that have truly made me feel good and allowed me to feel at peace. What music can do is amazing. Love them.
Streetlight manifesto is the best live show experience ever. Period. Band and fans !
I don’t see enough people in the comments talking about RX Bandits. Ska punk band that turned into something more like prog rock over the years. One of my favorite bands of all time. I would recommend you listen to “…And The Battle Begun” but their music is really better if you can listen to entire albums end to end.
I got exposed to them from the drive thru records compilation dvd and cds. About 19 years ago I started a band and my vocal melodies was influenced by them.
Hands down best band
Amazing band, but the bass isn't notable except five seconds in Only For the Night
@@intothemild9414 yeah kinda true
I second this RX Bandits are criminally underrated
Check out Face to Face. Scott Shiflett has been their bassist since around 1995, He has some excellent bass lines, and I think you'll like the harmonies and the musicianship they have. "Walk the Walk," and "Handout" from their self titled Face to Face album, or "Disappointed" from Reactionary.
Second this!!!
Has an amazing tone too.
Yes! Thank you!
Face to Face has had a great run of Bassists. Matt Riddle really set the templet for what their bass "should" sound like
Walk the walk signature baseline!
This is my 100% favorite band of all time. I adore their entire repertoire
As The Footsteps Die Out Forever has a great bass into, as does A Better Place a Better Time,
I also encourage hearing the Upright bass playing with Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution.
the chorus for 'point counterpoint' by this band is burned into my memory so much so that I think by the time I'm 99 years old and I've forgotten everything about my life I'll just be sitting on my porch repeating it to anyone that talks to me
🤣🤣🤣
Watching people react to this song for the first time is always fun. It’s almost like living my first time listening again.
Hell yeah dude Streetlights bass player is a hidden beast
The drummer too; absolute god damn animal. Crazy rhythm section
Every single member is a hidden beast! Once you start picking out their individual parts, they're all such incredibly good musicians.
So, yes, you are totally right about the live shows. Streetlight crowds hum the horn parts and jump the entire time. I got goosebumps when you mentioned it. I’ve seen just about every single punk and ska band and they’re top 3 live. 🎺🎷
“I can’t stop smiling”. Same! Phenomenal band, phenomenal song! Soo wonderful to see you enjoying it. Streetlight Manifesto offers many tiers above a standard punk or ska band in the constant evolution of songs, the obviously skilled geekery of all the horns and a great thoughtful vision from the outset. Did not know that tidbit about the writing process but that makes a lot of sense. The speed at which everyone is playing is just so fun and adds to the constant catchiness! Thanks for covering this band, a definite fave from Catch 22 days.
There's nothing better than a streetlight show. They are the tightest live band. And I'm from their home state, so the shows we have are nuts.
If you have a chance to see them definitely do it. No words can describe how fun their shows are.
Thrilled you did this. I know it's too late, but there is a video on youtube of them performing this live on fearless music and outside of it being better just because it's live, it probably actually is a better version than the recording. Go give it a listen / watch!
Pete is a heckuva bassist. I met him many years ago when I helped promote a Streetlight show and have him on Facebook. Based on the music I've seen him post about, his influences are all over the place. For example, I know for a fact he's a massive Squarepusher fan. I believe he's a music educator and when he's busy with teaching, the bassist from A Wilhelm Scream fills in, who I know you've also covered on this channel.
Everyone in this band is insanely talented, but the most insane one (and most underrated I think) is the drummer, Chris Thatcher. It took me a while to really realize how phenomenal he is, and since you didn’t mention the drums at all I figured you missed them the first time around like I did.
Go back and listen again and just listen to how wildly off the cuff this guy is, if you haven’t already. He’s CONSTANTLY changing what he’s doing from phrase to phrase, with seemingly no sense of consistency or structure at all, but in the best way possible. One of the most underrated drummers of all time.
And welcome to my favorite band on the planet. They’re like the TOOL of ska music.
Thank you so much! You understand and break it all down perfectly! Their entire first album, Everything Goes Numb, is a perfect masterpiece, highly recommend! Seeing them live were some of the best shows of my life! They play even faster and with so much energy, technical brilliance, and love, truly an incredible experience.
Super pumped to see you do a video on Streetlight. One of my all time favorite bands.
Man this was so cool!! There used to be a band, Catch 22, which later became streetlight and they have some killer songs worth listening to at some point! Keep em coming dude!!
These guys, Catch22, Suicide Machines, Bigwig, Big D & The Kids Table and don't forget Buck O Nine. all GREAT Ska Bands!!!
Don't forget about Less Than Jake, Operation Ivy, and Common Rider.
@@DeathMetalDerf I just listened to some Common Rider yesterday! He had spoke of LTJ and has done an OP Ivy video, I was trying to mention bands that he maybe was unfamiliar with. Common Rider though... So good!
Buck o nine is suuuper legit!
I mentioned that he should listen to Jesse's newer band Classics of Love as the bass playing in those albums are just shredders.
Bigwig I don't think are ska
After a long, sad and hard day, I'm in my bed and for an almost 22 years of ska-punk day-by-day listner what can be more enjoyable than a relaxing video mixing two things I love: bass and ska-punk! Thank you so much, you made my day brighter! ❤🎸👀
Wow, thank you! I hope tomorrow is better for you, friend. Appreciate you hanging out with me this evening! 🙏🏼
You mention that you could just tell how tight this band is. Can confirm! I've seen them live twice and that was the thing that really jumped out at me was just how tight this group was. Their music is FAST, intricate and complicated and they just NAIL IT live. The energy at their show is amazing. This band is great and it's one that my daughter and I enjoy together.
One of the best live bands I've ever seen.
Another banger of a video. Because of you I put down the guitar the other day and played bass to Descendents songs for 3 hours. First time doing that in a long while. You’re making a difference. Thank you
Wow man, this one got me in the feels. I started these videos about a year ago with no other purpose in mind than to talk about great music I liked, talk about cool bass lines, explore new music, and was happy to have anyone listen with me. I’m so glad you did and I really appreciate you sharing this! Keep on playing, friend 🤘🏼💥
Oh man you're spot on about their live shows the energy is seriously unreal!! I've seen them three times and every time they absolutely blew me away. One of my all-time favorite bands
I knew you would absolutely fall in love with Streetlight Manifesto! Thank you for analyzing this song. These guys absolutely rock and they always put a smile on my face as well.
Hell Yeah, Thank You! If you decide to give the song another listen I recommend watching them perform it live. There’s a great video on UA-cam where they perform it on Fearless Music HD. It’ll give you an idea of their incredible onstage energy. Unfortunately when they play live the bass player in usually tucked away in the background. And yes, you’re right, one of my favorite bands to watch live!
I say it every time, but I think it’s so awesome seeing you get into these bands. You can’t help but smile listening to this band. Cheers! Hope youre feeling better
Means a lot, thank you! 🙏🏼
Their horn breakdowns are the best I've ever heard. My favorite band ever
My favorite band of all time. Him and the drummer, Chris, play so tight together they almost seem like one person. They are amazing live too!
I keep wanting to contribute, but everyone beats me to it - One of my favourite bands, and amazing live as well.
I've seen them live 5 times, and their shows are absolutely EPIC. They're playing this July in NJ!!!
One of the best live bands you will EVER see!❤
Catch 22 deserves a listen as well 😅
watching you pick apart these parts and playing it after hearing it one time is kinda mindblowing. Streetlight is amazing btw
As a long time streetlight lover and beginner bassist, instant follow! I agree with most other commenters when I say seeing you analyze this and smile through the whole thing, made me fall in love with streetlight all over again!!
Seeing Streetlight live is life changing. They also do shows with a full orchestra that is absolutely incredible.....yougots'ta.
Fun fact, Brian from A wilhelm scream filled in for them on a tour and kicked ass(no surprise)
There's places where streetlight does almost "madrigal" like I've played in a dual brass choir.
Such an incredible band, and amazing to see live. Musicians. Every one.
Streetlight is my all time fav ska band! Pete's basslines are the most intimidating and well written stuff I've ever heard in rock music
The whole album is a masterpiece. It's up there with Ok computer for me. Id give it a good few listens, because it flows so well and is extremely diverse yet cohesive.
I promise, they are one of the best bands live. Seen them over 20 times now. Moved from Jersey (their home) to Toronto... years later I flew back home to Jersey for their 20 year anniversary... and it was a reunion with so many friends who grew up with Streetlight. Fans we all grew up with, now having their children on their shoulders rocking out to Streetlight... such pride. Streetlight also has some of the best fans.
BTW it is absolutely the most fun experience at a streetlight show. You need to go while they are still here. The vibe and community experience while where everyone is screaming these iconic lines is just amazing. You can look at anyone and they are absolutely engaged and blurting out the words especially during lyrical breaks. Please please please go see streetlight live and if you are near east Tennessee next time they come around my area I'll bring you to a show and share with you the love and fun of a streetlight show ✌️❤️
Great video! Nice to hear Less than Jake getting a shout out, Roger was the reason I started to play bass!
So talented and such a nice down to earth guy.
Last time I went to a Streetlight show, the vibes were just so right that I started crying. It was wild. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend going.
I've been fortunate enough to see them live before Matthew Stewart's passing, they're undeniably one of the best and most exciting live bands ever.
Glad you're listening to this! Great bassist, and Brian from Wilhelm Scream has filled in for him a few times!
I toured on 2012's Warped Tour which they were on, and the skill is no accident. I dont think I ever saw the band members without their instruments in hand.
I first listened to these guys in highschool, Pete is one of my favorite bassist and the main reason I got into playing bass!
Streetlight was the best live experience I’ve seen. They opened for RBF. The close second was Aquabats in a tiny bar. Can’t beat live ska for energy and fun. You can’t help but move. Some Rx Bandits are pretty awesome too. It definitely paired well at the time
It's really fun to see someone hear the songs i have been listening to for forever for the first time. I often wish i could forget some of my favorite music so I can experience it that first time again.
These guys have been my favorite band for damn near 20 years now, and I am not one to easily pick favorites. I'm always so happy to see people discovering and falling in love with them
Saw them 4 times just this past year. Absolutely incredible live. And the nicest dudes ever. I saw them play a set in Denver, CO, last October, backed by a 45 piece orchestra under the name Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. Absolutely mind melting.
I've always thought of Streetlight Manifesto as progressive ska. Good shit! "Here's to life" and "Everything Went Numb" are great too. The beef of the bari sax in the intro to Everything Went Numb is just fantastic. Makes me smile every time.
Streetlight Manifesto is one of the very best ska bands ever. Same with Catch 22. I just can't get enough of both!!!!
Catch 22 should have ended after the guys left to start streetlight. All they play are the songs SLM created from Kisbey Nights
I am loving these reactions to the punk and ska bands. It’s so wholesome seeing you discover this music and loving it. I hope you dive into more streetlight for your next vid.
Loving this journey you are on at the moment, so many great bassists/bands. Keep em coming
More to come! Thank you 🙏🏼☺️
damn this song is such a banger! my college years were spent blasting this album over and over again. so damn good!
its the best concert you can see, its such an amazing experience!!!! my favorite concert ive ever been too!
I've been lucky enough to see them live (along with so many other Ska bands, from the Skatalites, Madness, Less than Jake, and the Interrupters) and you NEED to get to a live show to experience it - someone else's words will never fully do it justice, no matter how eloquen they are.
We saw these guys with a 40 piece orchestra behind them a few months ago. They played this track, and it was epic!!
Oh man! I've been asking for this since I found the channel. I'm so excited! Thanks for doing this
Hope you like it! 🙏🏼🥹
@@LowEndUniversity excellent content as always. Keep up the good work. Fyi, Street light's shows are a marathon of an event. I've been to Rancid, NOFX, Slipknot, and no show has come close to the amount of constant energy these guys put out and into the crowd. It's 90 minutes of non-stop action
Long time streetlight fan and so glad you did a video on them. Been loving your videos since I found them recently. The decline is one of my all time favorite songs. Streetlight is such a great band and all of their songs are great. You should do another by them and do the song here’s to life!!! Everyone in the band is so talented but I always loved the drums in all their songs. Again thanks for these videos so fun to see someone enjoying these songs for the first time!!!
Great to hear! 🙏🏼
Im so glad you got to hear this after you let me pick on patreon. They are an insanely talented band and Pete is an incredible bassist on top of it. Really happy to see these videos, cant wait to see the next one and hopefully you get to feelin better.
Thanks man, appreciate your help!! 😉😎🙏🏼
Im loving these recommendations,you are hitting all my favorites!!
I'm down for calling Streetlight Manifesto as "Progressive Ska" :D
Rx Bandits are a different kind of progressive ska.
So happy he did this. Streetlight is my favorite band!
I stumbled upon your channel when you discovered my favorite band NOFX and you have just been killing it since!! glad i subscribed
Aw, thanks! Appreciate you hanging out with me!
your videos make me so happy !
You make ME happy! 🙏🏼
Streelight is so good you could probably produce dozens of "first time hearing" videos to their tracks.
Somewhere in the Between, Point/Counterpoint, They Broke Him Down, They Provide The Paint..., even their cover of Such Great Heights turns a good song into symphonic joy.
So stoked you got to listen to them finally. Enjoy their whole discography!
I had the pleasure of seeing Catch 22 on the Keasby Nights tour way back in the day, and I know they are pretty much the same band but Catch 22 has a special place in my heart.
I was a wind instrument player as well. Clarinet and trumpet. The draw to ska punk was real when I was in HS.
Must have been 98/99? I saw them around that time as well. Haven't seen Streetlight in forever. They had that bass player that used a fret less when I did though. It was at The Shelter in Detroit so you're pretty much pressed up against the band there. Pretty great experience.
@@leftofpunk I believe it was the spring or summer of 1998. It was in a tiny venue that a lot of great bands played in Nashville. Had to have been a capacity of no more than 300.
I had listened to a bunch of ska bands but had never seen a live ska band at that point. The heavier edge won me over immediately.
@@citizenbrain8065 it probably the exit/in or the basement. the basement was a really tiny venue, like 150 people at most.
@skapunker21 it was The Muse. I practically lived there back then haha. Logan just booked a lot of really awesome stuff.
I love watching you enjoy these bands. I look forward to your videos and listening to break down these songs. I highly recommend catching Streetlight live as their live shows are second to none. I catch them every time they are in Montreal and the energy from the band and the crowd is truly amazing !
Thanks so much Chris. Highly intrigued to catch ‘em live. Honestly more stoked just to watch the horns - I’ve seen enough bass players already 🤣
love the punk/ska videos that you are covering
Glad to hear it!
saw streetlight manifesto in 2019 and less than jake earlier this month. the experience is something to behold for yourself.
Your choice of songs is getting better and better!
