The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are a skacore band from Boston , USA .

history

The band was founded in 1985 . However, it wasn't until 1989 before they released a CD for the first time. However, the edition of this CD (without title) was very small. In 1990 the first official album with Devil's Night Out followed . With this record they were involved in the creation of a new style of music, the Skacore , a mixture of Ska and Hardcore Punk .

In 1994, the group took the Kiss song Detroit Rock City for Kiss - tribute album Kiss My Ass on. The cover version was the only single released from the album and appeared on green vinyl . In 1995 the group made a guest appearance in the American teen comedy Clueless - What Else! who made the band's music accessible to a wider audience for the first time and also helped them achieve their international breakthrough.

Her biggest success so far is the song The Impression That I Get from the 1997 album Let's Face It .

After a long break, it was announced on October 11, 2007 that there would be a reunion. On December 18, 2007, the new compilation Medium Rare was released on Big Rig Records . Since then the band has been performing in the USA again. In December 2009 the new studio album Pin Points and Gin Joints was released . In 2011 the album The Magic of Youth followed . Both albums were also released on Big Rig Records .
