[AUDIO] Souls still bouncing, 20 years later

Tickets went on sale today for a pair of all-ages concerts by the Bouncing Souls at Anna Bannana’s in March.
If you haven’t heard of the guys from New Jersey, here’s a little background info from the band’s bio:
“Picture it: 1989, a Knights of Columbus Hall in Bernardsville, New Jersey. A supportive music-loving teacher throws down $120 to cover expenses. A bunch of sweaty high school kids gather to sneak beers and rock all night at the debut show of a band called The Bouncing Souls. And a Jersey institution is born.
What’s kind of cool about the Bouncing Souls is that even with two decades in the music industry, this band continues to make music and embrace new technology and trends.
In 2009, they’ll release a new single every month via the Internet. But in a nod to the past – and fans of vinyl records – the band will also release a 7-inch compilation record every three months. Fans who purchase them will be rewarded with an exclusive bonus track.
It’s a great idea: Make it possible for fans to download your music, but also offer an alternative with added features to encourage additional purchases. Genius!
You can check out the Bouncing Souls’ new single for January 2009, “Gasoline,” after the jump.
