2009 has been an extremely busy year so far for New Jersey punk legends, The Bouncing Souls, as they continue to celebrate their 20 year anniversary!
Starting in January, The Bouncing Souls, and their label, Chunksaah Records, announced they'd release a brand new song to their fans on the first of every month (seven new tracks to date as of this week), premiered an amazing new video for March's new song, "Airpoirt Security," performed at this year's SXSW Music Marathon, toured the States with good friends Dillinger 4, The Loved Ones, Black President, The AKAs and more, showed homage to Record Store Day with an in-store acoustic performance at Generation Records in New York City, flew to play Alaska for the first time where Mount Redoubt's first eruption in 20 years (coincidence?) left the band temporarily stranded, toured South America for the first time ever, and are currently finishing up a European tour.
Now, taking us into the second half of 2009, The Bouncing Souls are poised to take part in even more unforgettable festivities, as they prepare for a series of celebratory shows coming to the New York and Philadelphia area w/ special guests Lifetime, 7 Seconds, and more this August, a two-week stint on the Vans Warped Tour, another late Summer European tour, and a recently announced Fall tour of Canada w/ Youth Brigade and Off With Their Heads, all in conjunction with their current series of new releases (available at their label's website, Chunksaah.com, and streaming on the band's Myspace and Facebook pages).
Starting today, you can stream the band's new song for the month of August, entitled, "Boogie Woogie Downtown." Says Souls singer Greg Attonito of the new song, Stream "Boogie Woogie Downtown" here!

For the past 20 years, The Bouncing Souls have been considered by many to be one of the leading and greatest bands in the post-Ramones / Misfits era of punk rock. Making a name for themselves with amazing albums such as The Good The Bad and The Argyle, Maniacal Laughter, Hopeless Romantic, How I Spent My Summer Vacation, Anchors Aweigh, and The Gold Record, and high profile tours with the likes of Alkaline Trio, Green Day, Strike Anywhere, Dropkick Murphy's, Against Me, My Chemical Romance, Hot Water Music, Flogging Molly, Social Distortion, NOFX, Rancid, Youth Brigade, and many more, The Bouncing Souls are one of the most exciting and celebrated bands in the history of punk rock music.
* The Bouncing Souls will take part in four headlining performances taking place from August 20th - August 23rd at New York's Webster Hall, and Philadelphia's Trocadero Theater. Joining the band will be long-time friends Lifetime, 7 Seconds, None More Black and Avail frontman Tim Barry (check out the band's complete tour itinerary below).
