Crucial Moments

The Bouncing Souls

We came together to honor an old friend
Let's talk about music
Good times and those moments in between

It felt like they didn't matter
They'd go on forever
Played on repeat
We shared a heartbeat
Let's have one more

One more crucial moment
One more crucial moment

We came together to honor a dear friend
Your presence was bigger
Than anything I've ever seen

It felt like it didn't matter
We'd go on forever
Played on repeat
We shared a heartbeat
Let's have one more
One more

One more crucial moment
One more crucial moment
One more round, one more sound
Spin it round
One more crucial moment

These chords stick with me
This ink etched on me
These crucial moments
Played on repeat on and on
This beat it will be
Forever giving me
These crucial moments
Played on repeat on and on
On and on

One more crucial moment
One more crucial moment
One more round, one more sound
Spin it round, never coming down
One more crucial moment

It would be easy for The Bouncing Souls to rest on their laurels when celebrating their 30th anniversary. After all, over those past three decades, the New Jersey punks have released ten full-length albums, toured all around the globe, and become one of the most respected bands of their scene. It would have been easy to sling together a selection of their best known work, write a new song or two, and hit the road for a nostalgia tour. But that’s not who The Bouncing Souls are and it’s not who they’ve ever been. Instead the four-piece—vocalist Greg Attonito, guitarist Pete Steinkopf and bassist Bryan Kienlen, who started the band in 1989, and were joined by drummer George Rebelo in 2013—decided to share Crucial Moments with the world. The new six-song EP captures who the band are now, and its accompanying book looks back on who they were and where they came from.

They will also be out on the road touring North America and Europe to celebrate. The UK dates are:

22nd October The Fleece Bristol
24th October St Lukes Glasgow
25th October Gorilla Manchester
26th October Electric Ballroom London
