Formed in Boston in 1983, the immaculately dressed Mighty Mighty Bosstones pioneered the big brass ska-punk sound that led to an explosion of bands in the genre during the 1990s. The Bosstones would release their debut album, Devil’s Night Out, in 1989 and followed with nine more studio LPs with their most recent being 2021’s When God Was Great.
