Comprised of the saxophones of Tim "Johnny Vegas" Burton and Kevin Lenear, along with trombonist Dennis Brockenborough, it is within the sound of the horns that the soul and spirit of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones lives. Quite literally, the entire band drops in at the same time a few moments later, and the horn trio deploys what is unquestionably one of the most catchy and authentic sounding riffs ever recorded. The band wastes no time in setting the tone on "The Impression That I Get," as it opens with a speedy, bright signature-ska style guitar riff from Nate Albert, and this sets both the tone as well as the tempo that runs throughout the entire song. Unquestionably their most well known song, but similarly their strongest musical effort and completely representative of their sound, there are few songs that are as a catchy and truly fun as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' 1997 single, "The Impression That I Get." After spending the better part of a decade honing their sound, the band released their most complete album in the form of 1997's Let's Face It, and the rest of the world was introduced to their brilliant brand of musical genius.

Largely responsible for the blueprint of the ska resurgence of the 1990's, few bands even come close in equaling the sound and energy that The Bosstones deploy on nearly every one of their songs. While there are many easy examples, few make as little sense as the success of one of the key bands in ska and the ska-metal sound: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Even when this term is not used, there are countless examples of a band releasing a song that somes commercial success, and the song forever carrying the "poser" label with it, regardless of the quality of the song in question. Yet within the world of so-called "indie" rock and the punk genres and and its offshoots, this seems to happen quite often, and the term "sell out" is thrown around with reckless abandon. Regardless of what band members might say in public to keep their image intact, the "point" of making music is to bring it to the masses, and if a band has a great sound and real talent, one should not be surprised when this happens. Though there are a number of odd instances that occur regularly in the world of music, one of the most inexplicable is that of fans getting frustrated when their favorite band finds commercial success.

You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone, It seems one thing has been true all along, Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,įor why you're not around, and feeling so useless, That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin', I want you to know it's a little fucked up, You can call me if you find that you have something to say,Īnd I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up, I'm doin' fine, and I'm plannin' to keep it that way, With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind, Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time, Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,īut now, you only stop by every once and a while,

You know the place where you used to live, Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?" Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career, That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin', So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up, 'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,īut I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,īut when I pick up I don't have much to say, I get along but the trips always feel so long,Īnd, I find myself trying to stay by the phone, I don't understand why you have to always be gone, Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
