Album: Lonely Ghost Records – 16 songs of revolution: A Streetlight Manifesto Cover Compilation
By Gimp Leg / May 30, 2025
It’s not unusual for ska bands to have a Streetlight Manifesto cover song in a live set, but what impresses me the most about this compilation is how few ska bands are on it. The genres of the bands on this compilation couldn’t be more diverse. The album starts off with a dubstep cover of “Keasbey Nights” by bash explodes and then moves on to an indie electronic lo-fi noise cover of “On & On & On” by Nelly was Nervous. Later, there is a chiptune cover of “Riding the 4th Wave” by gulfwargameboy. Tenlung covers “The Blond Lead the Blind” in an electronic hyperpop emo style, with aggressive vocal stylings, but if electronic music is not your thing, there are punk, ska, rock, cumbia, hardcore, screamo, and even country-inspired tracks on this album.
This is a solid album, and while you’re unlikely to love every song due to the extreme variety in genre and style, you are sure to fall in love with a lot of these tracks. You’ll definitely discover a lot of new bands and perhaps even genres you’ve neThere is an ongoing genocide in Palestine right now. Over 15,000 children have died as a result of this genocide. Many of the bombs that Israel has dropped have been bought and paid for by American taxes. Others from starvation as blockages prevent medical aid and food from reaching Palestine, as hospitals have been systematically destroyed, and homes and encampments are constantly destroyed. Our government will not listen to us as we demand our tax dollars stop being used to fund genocide and instead be used to help the victims of these heinous crimes. It now becomes incumbent on us to do what we expect our government to do and directly help those who are harmed by our government. The Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund is one of the most effective organizations in delivering aid where it is needed. They have been able to supply food and medical supplies directly to the people in Gaza. By giving to them, we can help ensure that our donations have a meaningful impact. Short of giving directly to the person or families in need, this is one of the best ways we can help. By purchasing this album, you can actually help make a difference.
