The Bouncing Souls

Discuss. The weird thing about this band for me is that "The Gold Record," "Anchors Aweigh," and "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" are so frickin amazing, but all their older stuff is pretty weak. However, those 3 albums, plus about half of "Hopeless Romantic" and about 10 of their older songs makes them my second or third favorite band.

Only song I've ever heard was their version of Ole and I liked it.

Check 'em out. Especially the three albums I mentioned. They're great.

i love these guys and hopefully sometime see them live

The Loved Ones joined them on stage in Cleveland this year for the Warped Tour, since TLO was playing at the Grog Shop later that night. However, I had to work until 3:30, and missed it. That would have made my year though.

FUCK, i went back to get my copy of How I Spent My Summer Vacation and its not there i fucking lost it, could someone help me out with getting the music from it?

The Bouncing Souls - How I Spent My Summer Vacation - http://www.mediafire.com/?a9y1amly3ib

alright fucking sweet thanks dude

I don't think they have one release that ISN'T good. Well, that's not including The Gold Record...not really a fan of that one.

i never checked that out, all ive heard was the pizza song and that was alright

I love The Bouncing Souls. I love how they've been around forever and they're still the most down-to-earth dudes ever. They also still drive that huge shitty van everywhere - makes me love them more. So much fun live, too. I never thought being smashed up against a bunch of drunk, screaming 30 year old dudes could be so much fun.

If you haven't seen it yet- Greg has started a blog and I've found it quite amazing. Being a little bit older- it really kind of hit a chord with me. He's quite the writer. If you like deep stuff that makes you think and ponder....you'll love it.
Pretty great. He's posted them on their myspace page, but also here-

speaking of Greg, who's heard him and his wife, Shanti Wintergate, playing "The Something Special" together? it's beautiful

BS has been playing a new song live. it's kinda good. there are a few videos of it on youtube

Anyone going to the "home for the holidays' show with gaslight there? Think I might try to make the trip from KY if I can get tix before they sell out that is.

my friend's going. i'm so incredibly jealous of him. i'm still considering making the trip though

I'm going, for sure. And, I'm pretty sure tickets sold out soon after they went on sale, double check that though.

Anyone have a good copy of their new song 'Gasoline'?

yo, what do you guys think of the new songs and the new vid? i hate the vid, but I think Gasoline is a great song, We All Sing Along could be better, and Airport Security is a bit different and not that great, but I think the lyrics are really good. especially the second verse

I think the new songs are good- video, well.......at any rate. If people on the East Coast didn't see, Greg, Shanti and Vic (from the Slackers) are doing a short acoustic tour. Should be a great show.

on second listen to We All Sing Along, i changed my mind. that is an excellent song. the verses sound a bit like So Jersey to me. but i still hate the video, and i think that was a bad choice for the single anyway

and that acoustic tour would be cool, but they're not gonna come near me. Shanti and Greg sound great together on The Something Special, which they've played together a few times. oh well. i get them on two nights in a row in May with The Loved Ones, so i can't complain too much about missing the acoustic tour

I just recently got into these.
I fell in love with them almost instantly but I am so mad at myself for not knowing they existed!
How did I not know about such a great band earlier?

I have definately made up for lost time anyway by buying their back catalogue.
