Bouncing Souls

1 upcoming festival

Asbury Park's forever-young punk anthem factory — thirty-odd years of gang vocals and open-hearted singalongs. Few bands turn a room into a family faster.

The Bouncing Souls formed in New Jersey in the late 1980s and became closely identified with the Asbury Park punk scene. Fronted by Greg Attonito, with Pete Steinkopf on guitar and Bryan Kienlen on bass, the band has released a long run of albums for Epitaph and its own Chunksaah label. Their songs tend to be short, melodic and built around singalong choruses, with lyrics about friendship, touring and getting older that have kept the same audience returning across decades. They remain a steady touring act and have long run their own annual hometown shows.
