The Impossibles are one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from the late '90s ska and punk scene, blending infectious rhythms with sharp songwriting and an evolving sound that pushed beyond genre boundaries. Formed in Austin, Texas, the band quickly gained attention for their high-energy performances and their ability to fuse upbeat ska with the emotional depth and melodic sensibilities of punk and indie rock. 

What sets The Impossibles apart is their willingness to grow. Early releases leaned into fast-paced, horn-driven ska, but over time the band stripped things back, trading brass for a more guitar-driven approach that incorporated elements of emo and power pop. The result is a sound that feels both immediate and introspective—catchy yet complex.

With releases like Anthology and Return, The Impossibles built a dedicated following, becoming a cult favorite among fans who appreciated their honest lyricism and refusal to stay in one lane. Their influence continues to resonate with listeners who value both the energy of ska and the emotional pull of indie rock.

  • The Impossibles

    Alternative Rock

  • The Boy Detective

    Ska

    The Boy Detective started as a recording project between two friends to sing ska-punk songs about their kids and wives and to get out of the house a few times a month. Nic Good (guitar, vocals, eating) and Benny Capaul (vocals, embalming) worked this way on and off for two years until deciding to get serious a few months before Covid shut everything down. 

    The band took the time off to write and record Banned From the Bathtub in 2021, emerging from covid hibernation the opposite of a bear: fatter and more tired. Soon after, Geridan St Peter (trombone, shaved ice) and Seth Urban (saxophone, having a cool mom) signed on and the band played their first show in April of 2022. 

    A bit later, Ricky Held (bass, actual talent) joined and the band started the process of writing and recording their magnum opus: Art Theft (2024). Hailed by critics as “definitely music” and “pretty good”, the band used the momentum earned to launch themselves into the stratosphere, and also to buy some Nacho Fries at Taco Bell. 

    Oh, yeah. Zach Marshall (drums, being very nice) and Emily Steils (trumpet, loves LaCroix) joined in 2024. The Megazord was fully formed. After signing to Punkerton in 2024, The Boy Detective is ready to take over the world, or at least the shake machine at your local McDonalds…
