The Bouncing Souls are a venerable institution within the punk rock scene, renowned for their infectious melodies and resolute DIY ethos. Formed in 1989 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the group initially consisted of lead vocalist Greg Attonito, guitarist Pete Steinkopf, bassist Bryan Kienlen, and drummer Shal Khichi. Throughout their career, The Bouncing Souls have been lauded for their unwavering commitment to their sound and community, a devotion that has earned them a fervent fan base. Their music, characterized by anthemic choruses, rousing sing-alongs, and a punk rock purity, reflects themes of friendship, positivity, and the trials of life, encapsulating the spirit of their extensive and dynamic journey in the punk rock landscape.

Over the decades, The Bouncing Souls have produced a hefty discography punctuated by a series of notable releases that showcase the evolution of their sound and songwriting prowess. The band's body of work includes albums such as "Comet" (2012) and "Simplicity" (2016), as well as a host of EPs like the reflective "Crucial Moments" (2019), which celebrates their 30-year anniversary. Their ability to consistently dish out rousing tracks was further evidenced in the singles "World on Fire" and "Favorite Everything." While their lineup has seen changes, with the introduction of drummer George Rebelo, the Souls remain an enduring fixture in punk rock, continuing to play live shows and connect with audiences through their heartfelt and energizing music.
