The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are a ska-core band from Boston, Massachusetts, United States (Bosstones is a play on Boston). They are credited with creating the ska-core genre, a form of music that mixes, to various degrees, elements of modern third-wave ska along with hardcore punk, jazz, and other influences. Their current lineup is Dicky Barrett (vocals), Joe Gittleman (bass), Lawrence Katz (guitar), Ben Carr (dancer, “Bosstone”), Joe Sirois (drums), Timothy “Johnny Vegas” Burton (saxophone), Kevin Leaner (saxophone) and Chris Rhodes (trombone)
Formed in 1985, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones started playing in Boston clubs in the mid-1980s. After a brief period of inactivity due to the schooling commitments of its members, they reformed and released their album Devil’s Night Out on Taang! Records. The Bosstones toured relentlessly throughout the 1990s, playing hundreds of shows a year, releasing albums and spinning off the popular rock radio hit “Someday I Suppose”. They were eventually signed to Mercury Records. The band appeared in the movie Clueless. In 1997, the success of their single “The Impression That I Get” and its follow up, “The Rascal King” earned them mainstream recognition. In 2000 they put out their critically acclaimed disk Pay Attention. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones released their last album on Side One Dummy Records. They officially went on hiatus in 2003, citing too much time on the road and desire to branch out and do different things. In 2007, the Bosstones announced that they were reforming.

If you're a fan of ska, never live in Greeley, Colorado. I was so excited for this album to bring me joy during finals week, but I looked all over yesterday and nowhere here has it. I have to wait till Saturday when I can go down to Denver and get it. Thank God for Twist and Shout. Show that store some love if you ever pass through Denver, CO. Such a great selection.

Being a huge Bosstones fan, I somehow didn't even know they were coming out with a new CD, but I saw it in a store yesterday and the cashier was like "Oh you like them? I can't wait to listen to the new CD." Guess I got lucky. Anyway, it's great.
