Keasbey Nights was the debut full-length release by Catch 22, and is considered one of the defining albums of the third-wave ska explosion in 90s America, and one of the greatest and most influential punk albums released in the 1990s in general.[citation needed] It is the only Catch 22 album to feature the original line-up, as Josh Ansley, Tomas Kalnoky and James Egan all left before the Washed Up! EP (1999). The songs are all written by Kalnoky, who now is the front-man for Streetlight Manifesto. According to Josh Ansley, the two people on the album's cover are he and Tomas Kalnoky. Kalnoky is the one in the distance and Ansley is the one holding the gun.

[edit] Streetlight Manifesto re-make

In March 2006, Streetlight Manifesto, led by old Catch 22 frontman Tomas Kalnoky, released their own version of Keasbey Nights. This was instead of Victory Records' planned re-release of the original with bonus content. When Kalnoky found out about this he was upset and offered to redo it with Streetlight instead. As he states (via Text to speech) at the end of "1234 1234":
