Bouncing Souls

Anchors Aweigh

Editor's Review:

New Jersey’s Bouncing Souls do well sticking with what they do best. Keys are splashed into the album’s title track, and strings are worked into “Todd’s Song,” but the heart of this album beats with guitar-driven, melodic punk rock. The pop intrusion here is welcome — gruff vocal harmonies, jagged guitars and big hooks give Anchors Aweigh a proper sendoff. As a veteran band, the Bouncing Souls don’t come off as the ones jumping on the bandwagon, but instead, one of the select few in the driver’s seat.

– James Barone
