Ska-punk continues to hang on in small pockets of resistance, and Jersey believers Streetlight Manifesto are some of the genre's toughest hangers-on. By mixing up their sound with a host of diverse influences, the band keeps fresh on SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. Classic, 2nd-wave sounding rave-ups (opening track "We Will Fall Together") and beefier, hardcore-infused songs ("Would You Be Impressed") co-exist neatly with rock steady-influenced numbers (the somber "One Foot on the Gas, One Foot in the Grave"). But make no mistake; the main emphasis is still on the bouncy, energetic, horn-greased rhythms of Jamaica, even if it is by way of the Garden State.
