Ska rock vets the Mighty Mighty Bosstones will release their seventh studio album, A Jackknife to a Swan, July 9th on Los Angeles-based independent label SideOneDummy Records. This marks the end of the band's nine years and five albums with Universal Music Group.

The Bosstones recorded thirteen new songs for the album -- the follow-up to 2000's Pay Attention -- with producer John Seymour (Alice in Chains).
