The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were a ska-core band from Boston, Massachusetts
(Bosstones is a play on Boston). They are credited, along with bands such as
Operation Ivy, The Suicide Machines and The Voodoo Glow Skulls, with
creating the ska-core genre, a form of music that mixes, to various degrees,
elements of modern third-wave ska along with punk.
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 were eventually signed to Mercury Records.
In 1997, the success of their single "The Impression That I Get" earned them
mainstream recognition. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones released their last
album on SideOneDummy Records in 2002 before going on hiatus to pursue other
interests. Lead singer Dicky Barrett is now an announcer on ABC's "Jimmy
Kimmel Live" and hosts the "Mighty Morning Show" on Los Angeles radio's
Indie 103.1 FM. The band appeared in the movie Clueless as well during their
career. |
