Somewhere in the Between is the third studio album by American ska punk band Streetlight Manifesto.

Release[edit]

In July and August 2007, Streetlight Manifesto supported Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish on their co-headlining US tour.[1][2] On August 23, 2007, the group revealed the name of their next album: Somewhere in the Between.[3] On September 7, the album was announced for release in two months' time, and the album's track listing and artwork was posted online.[4] "We Will Fall Together" and "Down, Down, Down to Mephisto's Cafe" were released as a double A-side single in October, 2007. Somewhere in the Between was released on November 13, 2007; the band had been selling CD copies at one of their shows four days prior.[5][6] In November and December 2007, the band went on a US tour alongside Suburban Legends and the Stitch Up.[7] On November 26, an animated music video was released for "We Will Fall Together".[8] A version of it had appeared online the previous of it, which was reported to be a rough cut.[9][10] They ended the year supporting Less Than Jake on their headlining tour of Australia.[11]

Streetlight Manifesto played a handful of West Coast and Midwestern shows in January 2008, prior to a tour of Europe with Reel Big Fish until March 2008.[12] Between March and May 2008, the band toured the US with ZOX and Dan Potthast, which included appearances at the Bamboozle Left and The Bamboozle festivals.[13][14] Partway through this, saxophonist Jim Conti had to be hospitalized because of a facial infection; the band continued touring with a shorter set and more of an emphasis on songs from Everything Goes Numb.[15] In October 2008, the band played a handful of US shows with the Swellers and the A.K.A.s, prior to an Australian tour with the Resignators and Dan Potthast and a Japan tour with Potthast. They ended the year with a tour of the UK with Random Hand and Potthast.[16] In January 2009, the band went on tour with Reel Big Fish and One Pin Short.[17] Following this, the band went on a headlining tour of the US, with support from A Wilhelm Scream, the Swellers and the Stitch Up, until February 2009.[18][19] Between late June and late August, the band performed on the Warped Tour.[20] On August 12, 2009, a music video was released for "Would You Be Impressed?".[21]
