The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were first formed back in 1983 and helped bring ska — the late 1950s Jamaican music genre — onto the national stage in the 1990s.
Over their time together, the group released 11 albums, starting with 1989's Devil's Night Out. Other albums released include 1993's Don't Know How to Party, 2009's Pin Points and Gin Joints and 2021's When God Was Great.
Their platinum-selling 1997 album Let's Face It was arguably their biggest LP and featured the band's most popular hit, "The Impression That I Get."
