More punk rock than you can (proverbially) shake a stick at.
On a stormy, tornado watch Saturday night, I headed out to Lancaster, PA’s Chameleon Club to catch my favorite NJ mooches The Bouncing Souls since they weren’t making a Philly stop. I haven’t been to Chameleon Club in a good 11 years since I last saw Streetlight Manifesto there back in 2007, and the long […]
Ahhh 2016, collectively the shit stain year of the decade. Admittedly, I haven’t had a chance to post many reviews as I’ve been busy/concussed (forced to limit screen time) so I didn’t post anywhere near as much as I would have liked, including for many of the albums in my top 10. Nonetheless, I’ve been […]
Ever since they started the tradition, I’ve attended The Bouncing Souls Home For The Holidays, their annual Christmas shows in Asbury Park NJ for almost a decade now. I grew up in NJ my entire life, and seeing the band in Asbury was always pretty special to me since it was the first place I […]
The Bouncing Souls, those fucking New Jersey mooches are back with their 10th full length album Simplicity, and I’ve cautiously optimistic about this one for quite some time. The Souls have been my favorite band since I was just an angst filled NJ teen many years ago, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say […]
This past Friday, I headed to beach town Asbury Park to catch my favorite band and NJ punk legends The Bouncing Souls. Souls shows in Asbury are always my favorite and make me nostalgic… the first time I ever saw them was back in 2003 in Asbury Park. I’ve gone pretty much every year to […]
I’ve been going to The Bouncing Souls Home For The Holidays since the band started the Asbury Park tradition back in 2007. This year, I decided to go on Saturday due to the fact that both the World Inferno Friendship Society and The Low Budgets were playing it. I got to the Stone Pony right […]
I don’t head out to NJ’s Starland Ballroom very often anymore, it’s a bit of a ride and a bigger venue. But I’ll make an exception for those fucking New Jersey mooches The Bouncing Souls. When I first bought tickets to the show when it was announced, I was thrilled as a NJ born and […]
After the long ride to and from Asbury Park last Friday, I headed back the next day to catch night 2 of The Bouncing Souls annual Christmas Home For The Holidays tradition. Usually because of the ride I only go one of the nights, but there was no way I was going to miss an […]
Everyone has their holiday traditions, and for me it’s going to Asbury Park after Christmas and seeing my favorite band The Bouncing Souls play with a bunch of solid friends they bring along. Ever since they started this tradition back in 2014, I’ve gone pretty much every year on one of the three or four […]
There are a few certainties in life: death, taxes, and The Bouncing Souls Home For The Holidays shows. Ever since the Bouncing Souls started this tradition back in 2007, where they would play 4 back to back shows in Asbury Park, I’ve made an effort to attend one show every year from my favorite band […]
