(record review)The Bouncing Souls-Crucial Moments(Rise Records)

The Bouncing Souls are celebrating their 30th birthday this year with a celebratory tour that will take them to some places that they haven`t been earlier and also release their brand new six song e.p. with Rise Records and I listened and reviewed the new record for our zine.

194360

The New Jersey guys paved the way for many bands with their from the heart melodic punkrock with hardcore influences. The title song is just great piece of nostalgia and pride with video made with the collage of band video tapes from all the parts of their career, the song itself having totally contagious chorus. 1989 is fast hardcore miniature showing the always present hardcore rooted side of the band, short but sweet song. Favorite Everyhing is a typical Bouncing song, straightforward punk version of Bruce Springsteen, the feeling I often have when listening to this band. New New is rock n roll punk song with superb lyrics and fine tuned melodies for our listening pleasure. 4th Avenue is for me the best song on the record which I listened again and again being fast, energetic punk song with simple line, but great for giving you so much goosebumps. The last song, gentle Home takes us back in some happy place, puts smile upon our face and reminds us why we love this band so much!

(news)NJ Pop-Punk Band Idle Wave Releasing Self-Titled EP on December 1st; Band Releases New Song “You Caught Me”

IMG_6966

Asbuy Park, NJ pop-punks Idle Wave will release their self-titled EP on December 1st.

Check out the new single “You Caught Me” here: https://youtu.be/NxG_hTtH4Xo. The track was mastered by Scott Hull (Nirvana, Childish Gambino).

Developing their sound in basement shows and the Asbury Park music scene, Idle Wave combines the anthemic garage rock sound of Weezer with the hard-truth lyricism of The Wonder Years. Post grad but not dead yet

Departing from their college project Flammable Animals the boys shifted their sound from what was normally basement recordings to bigger live rooms and louder amps through the help of John Ferrara (Trophy Scars) at Portrait Recording Studios.

Not ones to shy away from touchy subjects, “You Caught Me” puts pressure on the conversation regarding guilt and false accusations, while the EP also hones in on depression and the idea of things being out of your control, but not beyond repair.

Idle Wave takes you to a place of 00’s pop-punk nostalgia while holding up a mirror of self doubt, making for a nostalgic but unmistakably current relatability. Post grad but not dead yet.
