Formed in 1985, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones started playing in Boston clubs in the mid-1980s. After a brief period of inactivity due to the schooling commitments of its members, they reformed and released their album Devil's Night Out on Taang! Records. The Bosstones toured relentlessly throughout the 1990s, playing hundreds of shows a year, releasing albums and spinning off the popular rock radio hit "Someday I Suppose". They were eventually signed to Mercury Records. The band appeared in the movie Clueless. In 1997, the success of their single "The Impression That I Get" and its follow up, "The Rascal King" earned them mainstream recognition. In 2000 they put out their critically acclaimed disk Pay Attention. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones released their last album on Side One Dummy Records. They officially went on hiatus in 2003, citing too much time on the road and desire to branch out and do different things. In 2007, the Bosstones announced that they were reforming. They played their 10th Hometown Throwdown in Boston and released a new album, Medium Rare, which consists of rare B-sides, and 3 new songs, including the single, "Don't Worry Desmond Dekker".
The band announced their split in early 2022.

Someday I Suppose
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Lyrics
There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When I can't remember
It irritates me
Could be I can't remember
Could be I choose to not
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot
There was a girl and I don't know her name either
She gave me love and I swore I'd never leave her
If I did I'd come back someday and find her
Maybe I will, I should write down a reminder
One day! One day who knows
Someday, someday I suppose
There was a verse that I was gonna write I haven't yet
But there's still a chance I might an open book
That I still want to close I'll find the time
Someday I suppose a place and time
I want to be and spend a storyline
That's happy in the end plans are made
With promises so certainly uncertain
I can't wait to set things straight
Before they close the curtain
One day! One day who knows
Someday, someday I suppose
The more I sort things out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more I try to change its course
The more off course it goes
Of course I'll reach my destination someday I suppose
Sort it out
Get distorted
One day who knows
Hide behind
Unreported
Someday I suppose
There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When I can't remember
It irritates me
Could be I can't remember
Could be I choose to not
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot
There was a girl and I don't know her name either
She gave me love and I swore I'd never leave her
If I did, I'd come back someday and find her
Maybe I will, I should write down a reminder
One day! One day who knows
Someday, someday I suppose
The more I sort it out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more I try to change its course
The more off course it goes
Of course I'll reach my destination someday I suppose
Sort it out
The more I sort it out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more I try to change its course
The more off course it goes
Of course I'll reach my destination (someday I suppose)

Imagine if you will... It's the early nineties. You just finished a new episode of Pete and Pete and then flipped over to MTV and this video comes on. That's a good day my friends.

So glad to have had this band during my teen years; such a rocking fun sound, incredibly gifted lyrically, and a unique sound. Seeing the announcement that they are officially done on FB today hit hard, but what a legacy they are leaving!! Cheers fellas, stay mighty and stay boss!!!

One day...one day..some day they will return!!!

I didn't hear of this band until yesterday and immediately checked if they where still active. Rip. They shred.

The creeping fascism and fascist-adjacent conspiracies in this country have claimed so many casualties. Late capitalism is a hell of a time and place to keep one’s head. The Bosstones are one of many families torn apart by reactionary nonsense. Even a multiracial band from a notoriously racist city making authentic music couldn’t even survive in these shit times. RIP Bosstones.
