The four original members grew up in Basking Ridge, NJ and played in smaller bands during high school. Although they decided to forgo college, they also made the decision to move to a college town. New Brunswick, NJ, which is the home of Rutgers University, had a reputation for supporting underground music, and over the years had seen not only musical acts but actors enjoy professional success. The Bouncing Souls not only became a staple in the New Brunswick music scene, but also helped other bands gain an audience by opening up for them in the clubs around town, as well as parties and shows they put on themselves.
Their first full-length album, The Good, The Bad & The Argyle was released in 1994 on Chunksaah Records, their own label. The album was a compilation of several EPs the band had released previously. Two tracks of this record, "Candy" (popularized by Bow Wow Wow) and "What Boys Like" (originally by the Waitresses) served as homage to 1980s new wave while simultaneously striking a humorous jab at homophobia. Their next album, Maniacal Laughter was released in 1996. Half the album was written in a week. It led to a high profile tour with Youth Brigade that got the attention of Epitaph records.
The Bouncing Souls signed with Epitaph in 1997 and released The Bouncing Souls later that year. While it contains some Bouncing Souls classics like "Cracked", "Kate is Great", and "East Coast Fuck You!", certain tracks on the record are anticlimactic in comparison to their low-fi earlier recordings. Greg himself stated on Do You Remember? 15 Years of the Bouncing Souls that "It's a CD of unfinished songs." Hopeless Romantic followed in 1999. Hopeless Romantic has been heralded for admixing poignant lyrics with their melodic rapidly-paced punk style. Soon after the album's release, personal problems arose between the band and long-time drummer Shal Khichi which resulted in his departure from the band. He was replaced by former Skinnerbox, Mephiskapheles, and Murphy's Law drummer, Michael McDermott.
How I Spent My Summer Vacation was the first album released with the new line-up. By now, the band had become viewed as seminal to the modern punk sound, with a new generation of fans discovering their earlier releases as they toured with newer bands as well as larger punk acts such as Hot Water Music. 2002 brought a b-sides album, The Bad the Worse and the Out of Print and an acclaimed split with Anti-Flag as part of the BYO Split Series. In 2003, the band released their 6th album Anchors Aweigh, as well as their first DVD, Do You Remember? 15 Years of the Bouncing Souls. In 2004, their cover of "Better Things" by The Kinks was used in the film The Manchurian Candidate. In 2005, they had two live releases, a double CD album, simply titled Live, as well as a DVD, titled Live at the Glasshouse, which was the 19th entry in Kung Fu Films' The Show Must Go Off! series. The band released their 7th album, titled The Gold Record on June 6th, 2006, or 6/6/06 which the band has called 'The number of the release,' in reference to 666, which is known as 'The number of the beast.' Also, due to their first full-length record being a collection of previous releases, many fans also consider this to in fact be their 6th studio album, and thus 666 is also partly in reference to this. They then headed out on the 2006 Warped Tour in support of the record, and again two years later, in 2008.
The band's name is a reference to Doc Martens shoes, which were a staple of punk dress. To this day, Doc Martens uses the advertising slogan "with Bouncing Soles" for their air-cushioned soles.
In 2009, the band will be releasing 12 new tracks in the D.I.Y. spirit. The first one, "Gasoline" is currently available on the internet. The second track, "We All Sing Along", was released on the 1st of February.
Los cuatro miembros originales crecieron en Basking Ridge, Nueva Jersey, y tocaron en pequeñas bandas durante su etapa en el instituto. Decidieron ir a la universidad a la localidad de New Brunswick, Nueva Jersey, que es el hogar de la Universidad Rutgers, con fama de apoyar la música underground. Los Bouncing Souls no sólo se hicieron un nombre en la escena musical local, sino que ayudaron a otros grupos a ganar fama al dejarles actuar como teloneros antes de sus conciertos.
Su primer larga duración, The Good, The Bad & the Argyle, fue lanzado en 1994 mediante Chunksaah Records, su propio sello discográfico. El álbum contenía una recopilación de varios EPs que la banda había lanzado años antes. Dos canciones del disco, "Candy" (popularizada por Bow Wow Wow) y "What Boys Like" (tema original de Waitresses) sirvieron como homenaje al new wave de los años 80. Su siguiente trabajo, Maniacal Laughter fue lanzado en 1996. Tras una gira con los veteranos Youth Brigade, la banda se ganó la atención de Epitaph Records, el gigante discográfico del punk.
Bouncing Souls firmaron con Epitaph en 1997 y lanzaron su álbum autotitulado The Bouncing Souls a finales de ese año. Mientras que el disco presentaba clásicos de la banda como "Cracked," "Kate is Great," y "East Coast! Fuck You!", algunas canciones de la grabación desentonan, en cuanto a sonido, si se comparan con sus primeros materiales. Greg declara, en Do You Remember? 15 Years of the Bouncing Souls, que es "un CD de canciones inacabadas". Hopeless Romantic fue el siguiente álbum y vio la luz en 1999. Poco después del lanzamiento del disco, la banda comenzó a experimentar algunos problemas personales entre sus integrantes. Shal Khichi abanadonó la banda a causa de esos problemas. Fue reemplazado por el ex-batería de Skinnerbox, Mephiskapheles y Murphy's Law, Michael McDermott.
How I Spent My Summer Vacation fue el primer álbum que la banda presentaba ya con la nueva formación. En ese momento, la banda era vista como unos veteranos en el sonido del punk moderno, con una generación de fans que estaban descubriendo sus primeros trabajos. En 2002 lanzaron una recopilación de caras b, The Bad the Worse and the Out of Print y el aclamado split con Anti-Flag como parte de las exitosas BYO Split Series. En 2003, la banda lanzó su sexto álbum de estudio, Anchors Aweigh, así como su primer DVD, Do You Remember? 15 Years of the Bouncing Souls. Un año más tarde, en 2004, su versión de "Better Things" de The Kinks fue utilizada en la película El Mensajero del Miedo. En 2005 lanzaron dos discos en directo, un doble CD titulado simplemente Live, así como otro DVD titulado Live at the Glasshouse, que fue el número 19 de las series The Show Must Go Off!, del sello Kung Fu Records. La banda lanzó su séptimo trabajo, The Gold Record, el 6 de junio de 2006.

This was one of the fastest group portraits I have done do to time constraints, It was done in less than 8 minutes right after sound check, then I had to pack up the backdrop and flashes as fast as possible because the doors were going to open to the public very soon. The Guys are all great and I recommend seeing them anytime they are near your town.
The Bouncing Souls are a punk rock band, formed in 1987. They are originally from New Brunswick, New Jersey.
You can count the number of bands who've stayed together for 20 years on two hands, and you can use just one to count those who've consistently released quality material for two decades. This year, The Bouncing Souls enter that esteemed category, and in keeping with their D.I.Y. roots, they've done it without major labels, corporate radio, MTV, or teen magazine pinups.
When married couples celebrate twenty years together, they're usually showered with anniversary gifts. The Bouncing Souls are celebrating their milestone by reversing that tradition and giving back to the fans, releasing one original song per month throughout 2009. More on that later, but first let's look back on some earlier days…
Picture it: 1989, a Knights of Columbus Hall in Bernardsville, New Jersey. A supportive music-loving teacher throws down $120 to cover expenses. A bunch of sweaty high school kids gather to sneak beers and rock all night at the debut show of a band called The Bouncing Souls. And a Jersey institution is born.
But the Souls' story actually begins a few years earlier than that historic gig. "Pete [Steinkopf] and Bryan [Kienlen] had a cover band called The Switch around '86 and '87," recalls frontman Greg Attonito. The band was largely booked at parties teeming with college chicks and kegstands, and occasionally, their friend Attonito would join in to channel his inner Roger Daltrey or Billy Idol.
"Then we started another band called Brad Karma and the Absent Minded Fruit Bats," says guitarist Steinkopf. "There was one song that we had called 'Quest For Goodie' and Greg would jump around and sing all kinds of crazy shit to it off the top of his head. We were all teenagers growing up in the suburbs, just looking to create our own fun."
The threesome spent ever more time hanging at shows in New York City and haunting Trenton's legendary, late, great City Gardens. The chemistry was undeniable and unstoppable, and it wasn't long before their creative juices flowed together. Tapping original drummer Shal Khichi, the band holed up in Greg's dad's attic and started writing what would make up the early Souls songbook.
Like any young band with energy to burn and original songs under their belt, the boys took to the road in order to share their music and spirit with any crowd that would listen. While there were aspirations to find audiences across the globe, even college parties and basements were enough to keep hope alive in the early days. As bassist Kienlen puts it, "We never spent too much time worrying about the future. The point of the band was always celebrating the here and now, trying to make the best of whatever was in front of us at the time."
Though it wasn't until 1995 that the band was able to tour on a full-time basis, they soon found the road to be a more frequent home than the comfort of their own beds. From headlining tiny rooms in remote towns to playing Wembley Arena with Green Day and Tokyo's Budokan with My Chemical Romance to spending time on seven different editions of Vans Warped Tour (totalling 11 months, with more sure to come), The Bouncing Souls have clocked more travel time than most airline pilots.
Since 1996, the band has had a constant traveling companion and honorary fifth member - their primary touring vehicle, lovingly called The White Castle. For ten years, she gave dutiful service, until The Gold Tour, when her engine gave out - with 300,000 miles on the odometer. Regarding her decade of service before temporary retirement (the proceeds from that tour are rebuilding the old gal's guts), Attonito says, "We converted those miles into road hours. Estimating about 40 MPH - because a lot of them aren't highway miles, with plenty of time sitting in traffic - it was staggering. Our estimate rounded out to 333.33 days driving in our truck! No exaggeration: that's about a full year!"
Fortunately, there are many more tour dates in store for both the band and their beloved Castle. Exactly how many of those dates is impossible to say, though, since the band hasn't exactly been keeping score. "I'd love to figure out how many shows we've played...I wish we kept count," says Steinkopf. "I know bands that have and it's awesome. It must be way up in the thousands by now, though."
Frequent attendees of those gigs (true believers, all) hail the Souls as one of the best bands in the world, and the boys feel the same devotion to their fans. "Bouncing Souls fans are the greatest friends ever," enthuses Attonito, "They're passionate and full of life. They really are part of the band in the sense that we're plowing a path through life together in good times and in bad."
"It's pretty much across the board too," adds Steinkopf. "every age group...all different kinds of people. My favorite is when we meet people that were there from the start and now they have kids of their own that they bring to our shows. We really are a part of each others' lives."
"And any time someone says you've influenced them certainly makes an impact on you. To know that someone has looked at something you've done and they have taken something from it - whether it be in a lyric or the way you play your instrument - has got to be the highest compliment paid," says drummer Michael McDermott. As a final piece of evidence, Kienlen points to the MySpace gallery of band-based tattoos adorning their admirers: "Last I checked it's up to almost 300 and counting. Our fans are hardcore in their unwavering support. We really are one big family."
And families share things, which is why this year, the Souls have decided to gift their family of friends and fans with twelve spanking new songs, available for the standard less-than-a-buck download on the first of each month in '09, or for purchase on 7" vinyl in quarterly compilations on their own Chunksaah Records (each featuring one additional bonus track).
Steinkopf elaborates: "We all decided that we wanted to do something different. We'd been on the same schedule for years: write a record, record a record, wait for the record to come out, then tour on it until we wanted to start the cycle again. We also wanted to break our own patterns and do something that was going to be inspiring and new for us."
Attonito adds "I remember being in New Zealand and saying we should do a release that doesn't come out all at once…I was thinking in the context of a TV series. Somebody else might have come up with the first of the month idea but usually all the creative stuff we do is a process. Everybody kind of throws a stick on the fire at the right time in the collaboration."
Doing it for the sake of the music, the fans, and their own inspiration for twenty years, the group – and their White Castle – are going pedal to the metal on a full tank of gas. According to their frontman, "The shared driving force is part of the mechanics that keeps the beast truckin' down the next highway. We were - and still are - a few passionate, rebellious, creative, idealistic, party loving punks looking for a good time, for something to believe in, and for something meaningful to live for."
With twenty years behind these legends from the Garden State, there's a lot more still to come from The B.S. – and that's no bull.
