Crucial Moments (LP)

The Bouncing Souls are celebrating their 30th year as a band, a tremendous milestone by any measure, and one that's even more impressive for a band as consistently active and crowd pleasing as the New Jersey punk legends.

Recorded by Will Yip, Crucial Moments captures the sound of a band who are still completely in love with what they do after all these years. 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 - aren't ones to rest on their laurels, as Crucial Moments is a wholehearted, fully-realized addition to The Bouncing Souls canon. The EP offers the winning familiarity of the band's most defining traits bolstered by a long career's worth of song-writing expertise.
