The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Last week, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones released their ninth studio album, The Magic of Youth. We spoke with singer Dicky Barrett on the day the record came out and discussed the meaning of the album’s title, its recording process and what some of the songs are about. We also talked about the band’s recent performances at Fenway Park with Dropkick Murphys, their upcoming Hometown Throwdown shows at the end of December and more. The Bosstones formed in 1983 and helped define both the ska/punk genre and the third wave ska movement. They enjoyed a considerable amount of mainstream success in the mid ‘90s before announcing a hiatus in late 2003. Four years later they reunited and have remained active ever since. Their new record is one of the strongest and most consistent Bosstones albums to date and will surely please longtime fans. Look for the band to tour as time permits and to continue supporting The Magic of Youth in 2012.
