The Bouncing Souls: How I Spent My Summer Vacation

"How I Spent My Summer Vacation" is sure to raise more than a few pierced eyebrows; it has quite frankly taken this band to the next level of intensity, creativity, and style. As the band puts it: "This one is simply the best album we've ever written." Quite a bold statement based on their past record of producing powerful, melodically-driven, anthem-ridden albums. Songs like "True Believers" and "Gone" have pure punk in their guts yet emerge with a melodic tempo that gets under your skin and won't leave. Fast, bold and true, "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" is one of the finest representations of the scene at present.
