Formed in 1985, the Bosstones are credited with the creation of the ska-core genre, a form of music that mixes elements of third wave ska and hardcore. The band released seven full-length albums, three EPs and a live album while touring continuously before their announcement of a hiatus in December 2003. Third wave ska is a musical genre derived from the fusion of Jamaican ska with various American and British styles of music, such as 2 Tone, rock music, punk rock, hardcore and jazz. ...

History

Early history

The band's roots lay in the hardcore scene of the early 1980s along with a strong influence from the British 2 Tone ska scene of the 1970s. Bassist Joe Gittleman played with local hardcore band Gang Green, while vocalist Dicky Barrett was a member of Impact Unit and, later on, the Cheap Skates. The Cheap Skates lineup constantly changed and would feature members of Gang Green on occasion. It was through the Cheap Skates that a lineup coalesced around a core of Barrett, Gittleman, Tim Burton (saxophone), Nate Albert (guitar), Josh Dalsimer (drums), Tim Bridewell (trombone) and Ben Carr (a ubiquitous, but non-musician onstage presence, later credited as the "Bosstone"). The group decided on the name, "the Bosstones" as a reference to their hometown. While some of the band members were influenced by bands such as AC/DC, Motörhead, The Clash and Stiff Little Fingers, Barrett had become enthralled with 2 Tone ska, which was in the tail end of its existence.

In 1985, the Bosstones made their recorded debut when they were featured on the Mash It Up ska compilation. The Bosstones' contribution was "The Cave."

By the time Mashin' Up The Nation was released, the Bosstones had temporarily disbanded in order for Albert and Gittleman to finish high school. After their graduation, the band reunited. Around this time, it was brought to the band's attention that an a cappella group, The Bosstones, had already used the name during the 1950s. A bartender friend arbitrarily suggested that they become the "Mighty Mighty Bosstones", in order to avoid any possible legal hassles, to which the band agreed. A cappella music is vocal music or singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. ... The Bosstones were an African American musical group in the 1950s who performed in the instrumentally-sparse, a cappella-based harmonic style known as Philadelphia doo-wop. ...

Taang! years

Despite not having a large draw at their live shows, the Taang! record label gave the band a record deal which would result in the Devil's Night Out album, produced by Paul Q. Kolderie. The album was released to a lukewarm reaction during a time when ska was struggling to move out of the American underground. Ska fans did not like the band since they were not playing traditional ska while hardcore fans did not like the ska and heavy metal elements in the music. Despite the initial reaction, Devil's Night Out has gone on to become one of the band's most popular albums. Taang! Records is an independent record label based in San Diego, California. ...

It was during this time that the band's trademark plaid clothing came to be. After a show where Barrett wore plaid, fans started to show up wearing it as well. It was noticeable enough that the band was approached by the Converse sneaker company to promote their new line of Chuck Taylor sneakers. The band accepted the proposal and were seen in several television commercials promoting the sneakers.

By this time, Tim Bridewell had left the band only to be replaced by Dennis Brockenborough (trombone) and Kevin Linear (saxophone). The band's next release was an EP entitled Where'd You Go?. The EP featured the title track as well a cover versions of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion", Metallica's "Enter Sandman", Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and a new version of "Do Somethin' Crazy", originally featured on Devil's Night Out.

In 1991, the band set out on their first full American tour. It was during the first leg of touring that drummer Josh Dalsimer would leave the band to pursue a college education. He would be replaced by Joe Sirois who Barrett met at Bunker Hill Community College. Sirois would immediately join his new bandmates in the recording studio to start work on the band's second album.

Once again produced by Paul Q. Kolderie, More Noise and Other Disturbances was released in 1991. The band would film a video for the song "Where'd You Go?" which had previously been available on the EP of the same name. It was during the band's touring for this album that their relationship with Taang! began to sour. The band toured relentlessly and sold more albums, but Taang! had seemed to be keeping the money for themselves. The band's living situations became so bad that a second breakup was considered.

Mercury Records

The band signed to their first major label when they joined the Mercury Records roster and soon recorded the Ska-Core, The Devil, and More EP. Released in 1993, it was largely a collection of cover songs. Four of the seven tracks paid homage to the band's influences: The Angry Samoans' "Lights Out," Minor Threat's "Think Again," SS Decontrol's "Police Beat" and Bob Marley's "Simmer Down." Three live tracks were included as well. The EP contained one new studio track "Someday I Suppose," which would appear weeks later on the band's third full-length album.

Produced by Tony Platt, the band's third LP, Don't Know How To Party contained a cover of Stiff Little Fingers' song "Tin Soldiers" as well as a vocal appearance by Daryl Jennifer of Bad Brains. A video was also filmed for "Someday I Suppose" and it received minor airplay on MTV. The band would also appear on the 1993 KISS My Ass tribute to KISS album, covering "Detroit Rock City." Mercury Records was so impressed by the track that it was released as a single, appearing on 7-inch green vinyl and backed by the original Kiss version of the song. Soon after, the band found themselves personally invited by fellow Bostonian Steven Tyler, to open up for Aerosmith at their New Year's Eve concert in Boston. While it was not the most successful show the Bosstones had played, it ensured that the Bosstones started 1994 on the road as they had intended.

Big Rig Records

Big Rig Records started when the band wanted to release their records on vinyl. While Mercury had no interest at first, they eventually allowed the band to start their own vanity label. Mercury continued to handle the conventional CD and cassette versions of the albums while Big Rig would focus on the vinyl editions. The new label immediately issued re-releases of Don't Know How To Party and Ska-core, the Devil and More on colored vinyl. Later releases would also include re-releases by Barrett's former hardcore band, Impact Unit.

The band released their fourth LP, Question the Answers, in 1994. The album featured production work by the Butcher Brothers, Paul Q. Kolderie and Ross Humphrey. The Big Rig vinyl version of the album contained "Pirate Ship" as an extra track. Besides touring, the band found itself making their network television debut on "The Jon Stewart Show." They also contributed a new version of "Where'd You Go?" to the Alicia Silverstone movie Clueless. The band also made an appearance in the film, performing the songs "Where'd You Go?" and "Someday I Suppose" during a college party scene. On top of their TV and film appearances, the band was added to the 1995 Lollapalooza tour. The media attention that the band was receiving prompted Taang! to re-release Devil's Night Out and More Noise and Other Disturbances in order to capitalize on the band's popularity. Taang! released both titles with new cover art without consulting Barrett or the band, which further cemented Barrett's anger with Taang!.

After touring as part of the 1996 Warped Tour, the Bosstones began work on their next studio album. Released in 1997, Let's Face It, would prove to be the band's biggest break, mostly due to the first single "The Impression That I Get," which charted at number one on the Billboard charts. The album was followed by Video Stew, a VHS compilation of the band's twelve music videos. The mainstream exposure led to the band's appearance on Sesame Street's Elmopalooza album and television special. In it, the band performs the song "The Zig Zag Dance" with classic Muppet, The Count. The band also made their Saturday Night Live debut performing "The Impression That I Get". Capitalizing on the band's new found popularity, Mercury released the band's live album, Live From the Middle East in October of 1998. The album was recorded live in Cambridge, Massachusetts at The Middle East Restaurant and Nightclub during the band's annual end-of-the-year "Hometown Throwdown". In 1999, the band contributed their cover version of the song, "Rudie Can't Fail," to the Burning London Clash tribute compilation. Shortly after all of these releases, Kevin Linear quit the band to work on his own material and was replaced by Roman Fleysher. Founding member Nate Albert also left in order to obtain a degree in political theory from Brown University. His next musical venture would be as a member of Evan Dando’s re-formed Lemonheads before forming The Kickovers, which focused more on a 1970's punk sound than ska. Albert eventually became involved in band management, handling bands such as Bayside and Lost City Angels. Albert's replacement on guitar was Lawrence Katz.

In 2000, the band released Pay Attention which failed to produce a hit single. One single, "So Sad To Say," was released but it never reached a position higher than twenty-two on the Billboard charts. Ultimately, the album did not sell as well as their previous release. This was to be the band's last album with Mercury Records, who along with Island Records, Def Jam Records and Polygram, had become part of the Universal Music Group who subsequently merged Island Records and Def Jam Recordings forming the new Island Def Jam label. The band, unhappy with the way the newly formed label had been handling them, asked for a release from their contract, to which the label agreed. "Pay Attention" was also the last album for Dennis Brockenborough who had already formed his own band, Chubby, for which he sang and played guitar. Brockenborough's replacement was former Spring Heeled Jack member, Chris Rhodes.

SideOneDummy Records

The band soon announced their return to an independent label when they signed with SideOneDummy Records. In July of 2002, the band released A Jackknife to a Swan and from it the song "You Gotta Go!" was released as a single and video. The band continued to tour but in December of 2003, they announced their decision to go on a hiatus. One contributing factor was that several band members were reported to already be busy with other bands and side projects. Another factor was that the band had been touring, almost non-stop, since 1991 and some of the band members desired a break.

Reunion rumors

Due to the fact that the band left the possibility of playing together again open, rumors and speculation have circulated that a reunion is inevitable. The hiatus of Joe Gittleman's band, Avoid One Thing, has added to speculation of such a reunion. Despite various unfounded rumors there has been no official reunion announcement.
