The Gold Record

The Bouncing Souls

Polished, anthemic punk rock that trades teenage angst for adult nostalgia. A warm, melodic tribute to New Jersey summers and lifelong friendships.

A warm, communal celebration of the past that feels both triumphant and slightly wistful.

Moments Worth Listening For
The triumphant, soaring key change and communal 'woah-oh' explosion in the final third of The Gold Song.
The transition from the sparse, driving bass line into the lush, melodic guitar hook on Lean on Sheena.
The surprisingly poignant, slower-burning storytelling of The Pizza Song that captures a hyper-specific local melancholy.
