The Bouncing Souls announce new album ‘Volume 2’
THE BOUNCING SOULS have announced a new album!
Titled Volume 2, the upcoming album from the punk band is a cheekily titled album of reimagined songs from across their back catalogue and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Pure Noise Records.
The initial spark for Volume 2 came from the acoustic sets the band were playing before the shows on their 30th anniversary tour in 2019, but the idea for the new album quickly expanded once they got in the studio with Will Yip [THE MENZINGERS, TITLE FIGHT, TIGERS JAW].
“We initially wanted to recreate some of the stripped-down vibe of the acoustic sets, but if anything, these versions are much more involved than the original versions,” guitarist Pete Steinkopf says. “The first day we got to the studio Will said something like ‘we’re not gonna just make an acoustic record, right guys?’ We were like ‘hell no’ and then we were off to the races.” The process provided a unique opportunity for the band to recast some of their most cherished music. “Many of the songs we recorded have been around for twenty years or more and we’ve played them thousands of times,” vocalist Greg Attonito says. “It was really satisfying to bring 30 years of experience to these recordings. We knew the songs inside and out so it was fun to stretch them out a bit and see what happened.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have shared their reworking of the track Ghosts On The Boardwalk.
