From Dropkick Murphys to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the punk band Rebuilder has some memorable times on stage — and later this month, they'll be making some new memories when they play at Boston Calling. Sal Ellington (vocals, guitar) joins us to talk about what's in store for their set, and the bands he's looking forward to seeing. We talk about their times with the Murphys and Bosstones and other story-worthy shows they've done. Sal talks about being nominated multiple times for Best Punk Band in Boston by the Boston Music Awards and how it felt to win. He shares the band's origin story, their most recent release, “Local Support,” as well as what's planned for later this year. Closing out this episode is the song “One Hundred Days,” our personal favorite from “Local Support.”

Don't be scared by the title! In light of the controversies surrounding Bosstones singer Dicky, Rob makes an impassioned plea to reconsider the scene contributions of the bands legacy. First, Rob and Engineer Joey pick it up with a conversation about he carnival and IMAX movies before doing a shallow dive on the Coles Notes history of MMB from their heavy metal early days to the coining of the term Skacore to their blockbuster success. All the while, Rob plays clips, shares some historical context and champions the real stars of the band from Joe Gittleman to Johnny Vegas to Ben Carr.

What is Post-Third Wave you ask? Why it's a subgenre coined by Checkered Rob of course! It's a regional Ska-Punk boom that existed between 1999 and 2005 after the death of mainstream Ska and before the advent of the true Dark Ages. It consisted of bands that were in high school or college, made rough studio recordings and were highly influenced by the Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake and the Bosstones. This primer is for those that remember the days of Winamp, Limewire, Myspace, Soulseek, Turn Up the Ska Radio and the mammoth Still Standing Compilation.Hosts: Celine, Rob and JoeyEngineer: JoeyEditor: JoeySkassociate Producer: Chris Reeves of Ska Punk InternationalMerch: www.checkeredpast.ca/merchPatreon: www.patreon.com/checkeredpast

You would know Dicky Barrett as the lead singer and founding member of the legendary Ska-Punk band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, but now he and some friends got together to form this "90s punk rock supergroup" called The Defiant. The Defiant is Pete Parada on drums (The Offspring), Greg Camp on guitar (Smash Mouth), Johnny Rioux on bass (Street Dogs), Joey La Rocca on guitar and keys (The Briggs), with Dicky Barrett front and center (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.) Together the five create a rock n roll pedigree that culminates into a riot of melodic punk.Dicky was also the announcer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! for almost two decades and in this conversation, we found out he even gives tours of the punk rock museum in Las Vegas.

Dicky BarrettTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Richard Michael Barrett. Better know as Dicky; he is also called The Godfather of Skacore. Dicky is former frontman and founding member of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and current frontman and founder of the new super group The Defiant. In this episode, we chat about how he came to be the bow-tied plaid leader of The Bosstones, and some of the cool things he got to do along the way. He tells the story of getting to open for The Misfits while he was still in high school, as well as getting to play Fenway Park many years later. Dicky shares stories of meeting and befriending Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel when they were just getting started; and some of the fun things he got to do as a result of these friendships. Adam uses Bosstones' songs in the intro and outro of his Adam Carolla Show podcast; and Dicky was the announcer for Jimmy Kimmel Live for nearly 20 years. Of course, I ask Dicky if I can play my all time favorite MMB song... and he says yes! Obviously we discuss how MMB ended up in the cult classic iconic film Clueless, and what made them decide to do it. Next, Dicky explains what happened between him and the other Bosstones, as well as his relationship with the Jimmy Kimmel Live late night show. Finally, we discuss his new band The Defiant. This super group features former members of: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Offspring, Smash Mouth, Street Dogs, and The Briggs. The Defiant is: Pete Parada, Greg Camp, Johnny Rioux, Joey LaRocca, and Dicky Barrett. Their debut album "If We're Being Honest" was released in late October 2023. Naturally I ask him if I can play my favorite song from this new album.... and Dicky said yes again! I had such a blast talking with Dicky, I think we are best friends now! Don't be surprised if you hear more from Dicky on Fascination Street Podcast. This dude is rad as balls. Thanks Dicky! And thanks Mike Dawson, you know what you did.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones had the biggest ska-punk hit of the '90s. Their song "The Impression That I Get" was huge and made them legit stars for a while. But they were a band that earned it. They got their start in the 80s, signed to Taang Records in 1989, got a major label deal in 1993 and released several records before hitting it big with their 1997 record Let's Face It. Not to mention, they were a huge influence on the sound of US ska-punk in the 90s. Today, we talk to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' bassist Joe Gittleman (aka the Bass Fiddleman). He tells us stories from the Bosstones year, working at SideOneDummy in the 2000s, producing Big D and the Table's "Strictly Rude" record, playing in Gang Green and he gives us his side perspective regarding The Bosstones' breakup last year. He also talks about playing Lollapalooza in 1995, quitting drinking, and Bouncing Souls covering his song "Lean On Sheena" from his other band Avoid One Thing, and how the song ended up being one of the Souls most popular songs. We talk about Brian Fallon and Gaslight Anthem's landmark record The 59 Sound, playing Warped Tour and the significance of seeing Fishbone play in the 80s. Plus we talk about Joe's upcoming Wavebreaker release on Bad Time Records with the great Bad Operation.

There are bands who make a record every two years and others publish one full-length a year. There are more productive bands and there is Fucked Up, a band with more than 100 releases to their name. One guy that was in it for all of these is founding member Mike Haliechuk who also writes most of the stuff - also for the latest record One Day, which shows yet another side of the Canadian Hardcore band! Fucked Up is a band of contrasts - on the one hand they are Prog-Rockers who know how to create Punk -songs, on the other they are true Punkers who use Prog-melodies. But not just that, they use elements from so many other genres, just listen to the EP preceeding One Day: The three songs on Oberon had Sludge, Doom and Synthwave elements. And on the latest full-length they show a true understanding of Pop-Punk or College Rock, and their singer Damian has never sounded so much like Dicky Barrett from the Bosstones. All of that and so much were things that Mike and Thorsten spoke about. Enjoy this not-fucked-up-interview at all!

The Gadjits were an American ska and rock and roll band from Kansas City, Missouri, United States. Formed by the brothers Brandon, Zach, and Adam Phillips they were signed as young bucks to Hellcat Records in 97. They released 3 albums on that label before heading to Thick Records, then RCA where they were dropped when Clive Davis took over. From there they went on to create more bands such as The Architects, Brandon Phillips & The Condition, and Other Americans. My old band Lanemeyer played a few gigs with these kids on the road back in the day and I was beyond stoked to get them on the podcast to chat about life.

In the late '90s, third-wave ska broke across the American alternative music scene like a tsunami. In sweaty clubs across the nation, kids danced themselves dehydrated to the peppy rhythms and punchy horns of bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. As ska caught fire, a swing revival brought even more sharp-dressed, brass-packing bands to national attention. Kenneth Partridge's Hell of a Hat: The Rise of '90s Ska and Swing (Pennsylvania State UP, 2021) dives deep into this unique musical moment. Prior to invading the Billboard charts and MTV, ska thrived from Orange County, California, to NYC, where Moon Ska Records had eager rude girls and boys snapping up every release. On the swing tip, retro pioneers like Royal Crown Revue had fans doing the jump, jive, and wail long before The Brian Setzer Orchestra resurrected the Louis Prima joint. Drawing on interviews with heavyweights like the Bosstones, Sublime, Less Than Jake, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies—as well as underground heroes like Mustard Plug, The Slackers, Hepcat, and The New Morty Show—Kenneth Partridge argues that the relative economic prosperity and general optimism of the late '90s created the perfect environment for fast, danceable music that—with some notable exceptions—tended to avoid political commentary. An homage to a time when plaids and skankin' were king and doing the jitterbug in your best suit was so money, Hell of a Hat is an inside look at '90s ska, swing, and the loud noises of an era when America was dreaming and didn't even know it. Looking for the bands Partridge didn't get to highlight in the book? You can find his writing about them on his Substack.  Rebekah Buchanan is an Associate Professor of English and Director of English Education at Western Illinois University.

Buck-O-Nine’s breezy, feel-good ska-pop song “My Town” took off on radio in 1997, but its video didn’t make it into MTV’s heavy rotation. This was due to some delays in the production of the video, making it so that by the time Buck-O-Nine had the video ready, the moment had mostly passed. “My Town” is remembered from this period of mainstream ska in the sort of in-between zone, not quite The Bosstones’ “Impression That I Get” territory but definitely above indie ska band level. Before, during, and after this brush with mainstream attention, the group was on the road a lot. True road dogs. In fact, several guests on this podcast (Suicide Machines, Link 80, Mustard Plug) mentioned touring with them at some point or another. So, understandably, a large percentage of this week’s episodes revolves around the glorious misery that is touring. We are joined by Buck-O-Nine’s Jon Pebsworth, Jonas Kleiner, and Tony Curry, who tells us about their mindblowing and hilarious experiences on the road. There were some surprises in there too, like their time on the road opening for Primus, and then later touring with Smash Mouth. Neither of those tours went great. But they certainly led to some funny stories. If you enjoyed this episode, please give it a share. You can subscribe to this newsletter below! Subscribe at aaroncarnes.substack.com

Josh Goldman is someone that has found a way to make punk rock his job, and he takes it very seriously. Mind you, he still manages to have a lot of fun while performing in his bands The Raging Nathans, The Dopamines and others. Along with that, he owns and operates a killer independent punk label called Rad Girlfriend Records, who have worked with the likes of DFMK, Mikey Erg, The Queers, Western Settings, Strangelight, and more. What started in earnest as a way to release his own records, Rad Girlfriend has turned into quite a record making machine, seeing year over year growth, with this most recent crazy dumpster fire of a year being no exception. Many of his most recent albums sold out while in pre-order, forcing re-presses before they were even released. His main band The Raging Nathans just released a brand new ripper of an album (with a track from that album able to be heard at the end of the podcast), and he's not showing any signs of slowing down at all. During the episode, we talk about what it's like to run a record label... the good, the bad, the ugly. We chat a bit about what it's like to meet your heroes.... also the good, the bad, the ugly. We bond a bit over our appreciation of Dicky Barrett of The BossToneS, and he of course shares some of his favorite bands and 5 desert island album pics with me.

Perhaps you remember the 90s hit by the band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, “The Impression That I Get.” You know, the ‘neeeeevvvvvvveeeerrrrrr had to knock on wood’ song? If you haven’t listened to it in a while, you should, because it holds up surprisingly well.Anyway, there are a couple of lines at the beginning of the third verse that go like this:I'm not a coward, I've just never been testedI'd like to think that if I was I would passIt’s as if Dicky Barrett, the Bosstones’ lead singer and songwriter, was writing straight from the lessons of the Stoics, because it aligns perfectly with one of Seneca’s most beautiful observations. "I judge you unfortunate because you have never lived through misfortune,” he writes of everyone who has lived a soft or sheltered life. “You have passed through life without an opponent—no one can ever know what you are capable of, not even you."Not even you.That’s the question the song is about. That’s the angst it is trying to express. Yes, it’s great to live in a time of peace. Yes, it’s good to be well-off or successful in your career. Yes, it’s wonderful if everything always goes your way. But with this good fortune also comes a nagging doubt, an insecurity and a dissatisfaction. Because deep down, you know it can’t continue like this forever. You know that everything good comes to an end. And what then? How will you handle it? Can you handle it?The lessons from this are two-fold. One, if you are going through something tough, well...keep going. And appreciate what you are learning, both about the world and about yourself. It’s a test, keep doing your best and you’ll pass. Two, if you haven’t experienced that kind of deep adversity, know that you are depriving yourself of something essential and meaningful. So start putting yourself out there. Take more risks. Get your hands dirty. Find something that you can struggle with.Rise to the challenge. Put the doubts to rest. You’ll be better for it.

Welcome everyone to This Was The Scene, the podcast that takes a look back at the late 90s / early 2000 Nj Jersey Punk scene, I am your host, Mike Doyle. Right Turn Eddie was a ska band from the late 90s that was made up of Josh, Pete, Pat, Steve, Big Pat, Shotgun, Metal, and sometimes Johnny Tummillo who would fill in on drums from time to time. He also fronted Folley. They’re sound was reminiscent of the Bosstones and Reel Big Fish, with some punk rock thrown in the mix. I’m not very good at explaining shit as you can see. I looked up to Josh back then because he seemed to have a solid outlook on life and he owned a house at the age of like 17. I reached out to him to get an interview and he said Steve should join. I agreed and this is what we talk about: Their van Bruce that they bought from Congress of Cow Their original name Spaz The Butler show with Against All Authority Johnny Tumillo from Foley Josh never remembering lyrics The mysterious Matt who was their cheerleader Recording with Chris Badami of Portrait studios Jim Slim and the midget tossers What Congress Of Cow means The sweet 16 party we played with them Their horn players How their drummer Steve’s Dad used to scare the shit out of me And a ton more This week’s episode sponsored by Southern Tier Distilling Company.

The Bosstones celebrated the 20th anniversary of Let's Face It with a bunch of dates this year, and when I spoke with the band's frontman, Dicky Barrett, about their Lawrence show this summer, I took the opportunity to ask him about the Bosstones' appearance in Clueless, and how the club scene came to be.

Phew, we've finally made it to the end of Skatoberfest! I'm not gonna lie, it was somewhat exhausting doing all these extra episodes and I did it in the name of ska. Can't say I saw that coming when I started the show. Given that Marty started the series, we had to wrap things up with super producer Dan. I ventured back to Friesen Point Studios and let Dan pick out his favorite Mighty Mighty Bosstones album. Dude grew up LOVING this band and it's pretty clear as we get into it their history. We're gonna get back to regular programming again next week and fret not, I'm not gonna follow through with Dan's suggestion to do OurLadyPeacevember. No way in hell.
