The Bouncing Souls will be releasing their The Gold Album on Six Six Oh Six and playing Six very sold out shows at the Knitting Factory.
I'm always psyched for a new Bouncing Souls record, but something about The Gold Album's first single, "The Gold Song", screams: "If My Chemical Romance or AFI can be on mainstream radio, why can't The Bouncing Souls?" Maybe its that the song lacks Greg Souls off-beat humor or that the riff is a bit heavier and blander than their typical 80s punk-pop sensibility. Or is it that backing vocal track that bugs me? Anyway, take a listen to the new Bouncing Souls.........
