It's the first of the month, and so the Bouncing Souls have released their newest song. The band has made the song available for stream this month, and it is also available for purchase directly from their webstore.
Bassist Bryan Kienlen commented:
Once again the Jersey Shore has invaded the lyrics of a Souls song. Really, it's a song about breaking out of the negative clouds that tend to gather around our heads. Sometimes just looking at your immediate surroundings, but from a different perspective, can change everything. In our case, it was the basic elements that make up our little corner of the world, where the city meets the sea. We love the Jersey shore. Have we mentioned that lately?

No sampling, no beatmapping, no guitar pod silliness, minimal overdubs. We used our actual gear, dimed it, recorded live in the same room (there's feedback! I miss feedback!) We're all pretty pleased.
