Definition of Tomas kalnoky

Tomas Kalnoky (born in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is the lead singer/guitarist and songwriter of the bands Streetlight Manifesto and Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution  He also held this position in the famed 3rd-wave ska band Catch 22, but left the band after making only one album (their debut, entitled Keasbey Nights) to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. His first foray into the music world began with the punk band Gimp, with whom he released one cassette, Smiles for Macavity, before moving onto Catch 22. Gimp can best be looked at as quintessential 90's pop punk, vaguely reminiscent of early Blink 182, albeit with more of an edge and more expressive lyrics. It was in Gimp that Kalnoky first wrote the song "Supernothing" which later appeared on the Catch 22 demo Rules of the Game (EP) and the album Keasbey Nights. However the original version is a much slower acoustic song, which features Tomas's brother Achilles Kalnoky on violin (Achilles would later appear on the Bandits EP A Call to Arms). Tomas is also involved in The RISC Group, of which very little is known.
