Legendary New Jersey punks, The Bouncing Souls, premiered another anthemic new track from their upcoming tenth full length, "Simplicity", due out July 29th via Rise Records.
"Writing On The Wall" finds The Bouncing Souls in top form. The song displays the band's knack for starting with a punk rock backbone and injecting it with some rock & roll spirit. Its Springstreen-esque intro is an indication of the vast well of influences that The Souls pull from, while its infectious refrain is, as Stereogum put it, "exactly the sort of monster-chorus pummeler these guys made their name cranking out." This combination of spontaneity and experience is the hallmark of "Simplicity".
Preorders for Simplicity are available now. The Bouncing Souls will be hitting the road soon with upcoming European and UK tour dates, as well as several US shows, including the band's own Stoked For The Summer shows in Asbury Park, NJ.
