Lead Performance: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones; Genre: Reggae/Ska

This punk-reared Boston gang's playing would have to be pretty amazing to make up for Dicky Barrett's barf-bag vocal stylings. Sometimes their bombastic ''Born to Run''- like song intros get your hopes up, but their music inevitably dissolves into thin nostalgic mush or stiffens into a slamdance straitjacket. The reggae brass-section parts seem like a corny afterthought, and the hard-drinking, urban tough-guy stance just feels tired.
