About:

"the 10-year-old brainchild of The Bouncing Souls, who rather than give up on their dream decided on the "d.i.y." approach to the record industry. It quickly became a family affair; symbolically named after its benefactor Timmy Chunks (notorious for his Queens-aah accentahh) we knew the name was one that would leave a lasting impression, as well as represent the ties that started and have kept the label together. This d.i.y. approach to the record industry has been everything but glamorous. It involved learning and growing as a family in a familiar and ever changing scene. We have grown as a family remaining true to the original idea; a label free of industry jargon, lawyer-speak and pigeon-holing, but full of people who are willing to risk it all, work hard, and at the same time be treated equally, like family. We are simple folk trying to bring good music to good people in a tumultuous world." (from the label's website)

Bouncing Souls: "Big Eyes"
The Bouncing Souls have posted their November song-of-the-month. The latest is "Big Eyes" and the band commented on the track: The lyrics to "Big Eyes" was a classic Souls collaboration. When we collaborate on lyrics it can make the song meaning a bit vague because the original inspirations came from different heads. Somehow we follow a musical/lyrical thread that makes sense in some indescribable way and they fit together. I was gone for a couple of days from the writing session and when I came back the guys had created the chorus lyrics and…

He rode the crowd, dozens of hands reaching upward to grip the tires, until he was deposited onstage,…
