I always liked ska, but I never got into Streetlight Manifesto for some reason. But this song came on while I was listening to music and I haven't stopped listening to it for 3 days.

If you're not a fan of Ska Toh Kay did release an acoustic version

They have always been right up my alley

If you have any other songs suggestions for getting into them, I'd love to take a listen

I honestly think that their cover of The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" is just a ridiculously good piece of music. Like, the original is a great song, very sparse and bare and emotional and Streetlight flips that by starting out with a real wall of horns that's still minimalistic in the Philip Glass-sense but is an absolute wall of sounds and then drops into an extremely upbeat ska rendition with layers upon layers upon layers of instrumentation.

"Would You Be Impressed" resonates pretty hard.

"Point/counterpoint" is great too.

I also am a huge Catch-22 fan so the whole keasbey nights album is just great.
