Bouncing souls discography download

With the exception of the Misfits, the Bouncing Souls are arguably New Jersey's most popular and enduring punk rock band; in their early years, their music walked a line between hardcore and a more melodic pogo-punk sound with a dash of ska, coupled with playfully goofy tunes like "I Like Your Mom" and "There Are the Quotes from Our Favorite '80s Movies," as documented on 's The Good, the Bad, and the Argyle.

By the time they cut their self-titled third album in , the Bouncing Souls had gotten tighter and faster, with more heft in their arrangements, and they had established the essential attack that would define their music for decades to come. They displayed a growing lyrical maturity on 's Hopeless Romantic without losing their playful side, and though they would take the occasional stylistic detour for a song or two such as the acoustic guitar and accordion arrangement of "The Pizza Song" from 's The Gold Record , the band consistently delivered the upbeat punk music their fans had come to expect.

The four had played in various local acts before they decided to join forces and put together a band. After graduating from high school, the four collectively moved to New Brunswick, New Jersey, a college town that had a friendlier attitude toward punk rock than their hometown. Taking the name the Bouncing Souls -- a play on the "Bouncing Soles" slogan for Doctor Marten boots, a popular item of punk footwear -- they moved into a punk rock flophouse, began practicing regularly, and were soon playing parties, basements, and any bar that would give them a break.

In , the Bouncing Souls cut a four-song demo that they distributed on cassette, and in , Complex Records released their debut 7", a four-song effort titled Ugly Bill.

Chunksaah dropped the first full-length album from the Souls, The Good, the Bad, and the Argyle, in , which featured several tunes that had previously appeared on their early EPs.

The group toured heavily to spread the word about their first LP, and after their second, Maniacal Laughter, came out in , the Bouncing Souls landed an opening spot on a tour with Youth Brigade that introduced them to new audiences across the United States.

Some of the Bouncing Souls' new fans were the staff at Epitaph Records, the successful Southern California punk label, who liked their sound as well as their work ethic, and signed the band to a record deal in Before the year was out, the Souls had made their Epitaph debut with their self-titled third album, though the group would later refer to it as a rush job full of songs that didn't feel finished.

The Bouncing Souls were in stronger form on 's Hopeless Romantic, which found the band exploring more personal lyrical themes while still delivering their energetic punk sound. While Hopeless Romantic was seen by some as a creative breakthrough, it was also the last LP from the original lineup of the Bouncing Souls; drummer Shal Khichi left the group in , and Michael McDermott, who had previously played with Murphy's Law, Skinnerbox, and Mephiskapheles, took his place behind the kit.

That same year, BYO Records brought the Bouncing Souls and leftist punks Anti-Flag together for a split album that included new songs from both acts, covers, and the two bands interpreting each other's songs. The band toured the U.

It would prove to be their last album with drummer Michael McDermott, who left the Souls in Later that year, George Rebelo, who had played with Against Me! In true Bouncing Souls fashion, they also set out on a 30th anniversary tour that would take them across the United States as well as Europe and the U.

The set also included one new song, "World on Fire. Rock - Released by Epitaph on Jun 6, Rock - Released by Rise Records on Jul 29, Rock - Released by Chunksaah Records on Jul 10, Rock - Released by Rise Records on Jun 28, Rock - Released by Chunksaah Records on Feb 15, Categories: All Back.

The Bouncing Souls have always been able to walk a line between looking towards the future and appreciating the past—never resting on their laurels, but proudly carrying their decades long story with them as they continue to grow. Now, the beloved New Jersey punks have brought that perspective to Volume 2: a cheekily titled album of reimagined songs from across their catalog that offers a new take on the timeless songwriting at the heart of their lengthy career.

In , The Bouncing Souls—vocalist Greg Attonito, guitarist Pete Steinkopf, and bassist Bryan Kienlen, who started the band in , along with drummer George Rebelo who joined in —celebrated 30 years as a band, but they remain excited to seek out new experiences in the studio and on the stage. The process provided a unique opportunity for the band to cast some of their most cherished music in a fresh light. We knew the songs inside and out so it was fun to stretch them out a bit and see what happened.

And for Rebelo, Volume 2 was a chance to bring something personal to songs recorded before he joined the band. These versions show how broad The Souls can take things. Everyone deserves that kind of space in their lives.

I hope this little collection of songs is fuel for that fight. The Bouncing Souls 14 fans. Artist's top tracks. Most popular release. Volume 2 by The Bouncing Souls. Simplicity by The Bouncing Souls.
