Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Let’s Face It
Listening to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones this afternoon and their album "Let's Face It". The Bosstones are a Boston Ska Punk band from the 80s and 90s. They are originators of the Ska Punk and Ska Core styles. These styles were heavily influenced by the 2 Tone Ska of the 70s in the UK popularized by The Specials. The reason I bring this up is that a colleague many of us know from Trevena turned me on to them and I recall a certain monitoring visit up in Pasadena where we had The Specials playing through a portable speaker for most of the day while we monitored - fun times! Anyway, the Bosstones album "Let's Face It" is the fifth and most successful album of the Bosstones and the quintessential Ska Punk sound.
