Washed Up! is an EP by American ska-punk band Catch 22 which was released in 1993 through Victory Records. It showcased the sound of Catch 22's second lineup after the departure of frontman Tomas Kalnoky and bassist Josh Ansley.
The last track, "The Death of My Blood Is Your Indulgence," is an ode to their label, Victory, for the label is mostly a hardcore label. The band announced a contest to decipher the lyrics of the song at one point.{{Cite web |title=IMPACT Press: Music Reviews: Dec. '99/Jan.
