The Bouncing Souls are a punk rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey formed in 1987. By the time of their acknowledgment by the national punk scene, they had reignited a "pogo" element to New Jersey punk rock by playing fast light-hearted songs, a model followed by various other local bands (e.g. Blanks 77 and the Bristles). In the early stages of their career, they played a hybrid of punk, funk, metal, and just about anything else they felt like including. They were known for their energetic live shows, albeit with an amateurish element on their recordings at that stage.
The Bouncing Souls are one of the best selling and longest lived of the punk bands from New Jersey, following the legacy of previously successful punk bands Adrenalin OD and the Misfits.

BillyJoeBobsays...These guys rock! I catch their Jersey shows all the time
Rooflessays...Yeah one of my favorite bands. Still sticking to their DIY roots and no MTV airplay. This song is actually a cover of an Avoid One Thing song but I think it sounds better than the original.
True Believer for life!
