The Bouncing Souls mit neuer Single “Shannon’s Song”

Die New Jersey Punk-Legende The Bouncing Souls ist mit einer neuen Single namens “Shannon’s Song” am Start. Das neue Studioalbum “Ten Stories High” wird am 24. März 2023 via Pure Noise Records erscheinen. Der neue Track folgt den beiden vorherigen Singles “Higher Ground” und dem Titelsong.

“It was so refreshing to be like ‘Oh cool we’re going to get to know someone’,” erklärt Attonito. “We’ve written so many songs from our own experiences but this time we really stepped outside of that.“ The Souls would learn about their fans‘ lives, and then dive into tightly regimented writing sessions to turn the things they’d heard into the makings of songs. Eventually the group decamped with Will Yip in Philadelphia to hone their demos, write more, and record Ten Stories High. The result is an album that draws directly from stories of life’s ups and downs, the moments of joy, sadness, and excitement that end up bonding us together. „We’ve been writing songs together for 30 years and that’s been amazing,” Attonito says, “but this felt like something new: a way to tell someone else’s story and have a whole new journey.“

Vocalist Greg Attonito über den Track “Shannon’s Song”:
„This was the second song we worked on for the Patreon songwriting project we did during lockdown. It wasn’t always obvious what the song would be about—we would look for a seed in the conversation that could grow into a deeper story. In this case we were chatting with Shannon who told us about a time she lived in Russia years ago. She had learned to speak Russian so we joked that maybe she was a spy. She replied, ‘maybe I am?’ That was the seed for a spy song which evolved into a spy love song. The character in the song is tackling the moment when they realize the relationship with the one they love is the most important thing in their life. They had been living on the fence and now it might be too late to express their feelings to the one they love because their life is in immediate danger.”
