#3: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?! WHAT ARE THESE NOISES?!?!?!?!

Next are the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the bad boys of plaid.

Wiki Says: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are an American third wave ska band from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Formed in 1983, the Bosstones are often credited with the creation of the ska-core genre, a form of music that mixes elements of third wave ska and hardcore punk. 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. They reunited in the fall of 2007, and performed together for the first time in four years at Boston's Middle East club. The band has continued to tour and record since.

In December 2007, the band released a compilation album, Medium Rare, their first release since the band reunited earlier that year. The band released their first studio album in seven years, Pin Points and Gin Joints, on December 8, 2009.

The Bosstones are yet another band that I don't have much to say about. They've done great things over the years and people still love and respect them. They put on some of the best live shows and are still putting out new music. The music video I'm putting is one of my favorite videos. I'm also somewhere in the live video.
