Well-tailored Boston ska-sters The Mighty Mighty Bosstones will release their newest album, titled "Pay Attention," next week, and in June the band will head out on the road as one of the featured acts on the Warped Tour 2000.

The video for the first single, "So Sad To Say," was helmed by veteran director Marcus Nispel, and after premiering at a Boston Red Sox home game earlier this month, the clip has just been certified as "Buzzworthy."

Mighty Mighty Bosstones frontman Dicky Barrett recently chatted with MTV News about the "So Sad To Say" video, which bears a slight resemblance to the group's breakthrough video, "The Impression That I Get."

"When we made the video [for 'So Sad To Say'], we filmed and taped it in L.A., and it's the Bosstones being Bosstones and just delivering the song," Barrett said before attempting to describe the track.

"I have so much trouble talking about Bosstones songs," he continued. "I think that the songs we create do a better job of speakin' for themselves than me sitting around [doing it], but I love that song. It's basically about love lost. Whatever kind of love you're involved in, whatever it may be, it's about love lost.

"[But] you spend a day making a video for a song that you may have spent three or four years writing, and that can be [strange]."

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones will play the radio-sponsored Edgefest in Dallas, Texas on April 29 along with 311 and Everclear, and the Bosstones will then continue playing U.S. shows throughout May before kicking off a European trek from June 2-15.

This year's edition of the Warped Tour, which also features Green Day, Jurassic 5, and The Donnas, begins on June 23 in Fresno, California (see "Vans Warped Tour 2000 Maps Out Dates").
