Bouncing Souls Bring 20 Years Worth of Punk Rock Across the Great White North

BY Keith CarmanPublished Jun 29, 2009

You know how Exclaim! has a thing for bands from New Brunswick, NJ, right? Well, not really, but I tend to point it out, because they seem to be like cockroaches, having infested the music scene and you can't get rid of them.

And lookie here, once again another New Brunswick group are spreading their own pestilence across the Great White North. This time it's Epitaph Records heroes Bouncing Souls, who will be playing a number of shows for us Canadians starting in September as the group celebrates surviving 20 years in punk rock.

The tour also serves as a great means to support the band's latest series of new recordings, which, as previously reported, are currently being offered digitally on the first day of each month this year and will then be collected on seven-inch releases and CD.

Smart lads that they are, the Souls are enlisting something old, something new and, well, something from Burlington, ON as support. Scene stalwarts Youth Brigade, Minneapolis newbies Off With Their Heads and Saint Alvia will open.

The tour dates:

9/23 Montreal, QC -€“ Foufounes Electrique
9/24 Ottawa, ON -€“ Ritual
9/25 Guelph, ON -€“ Vinyl
9/26 London, ON -€“ Call The Office
9/27 Toronto, ON -€“ Opera House
9/30 Winnipeg, MB -€“ Pyramid Cabaret
10/1 Regina, SK -€“ Riddell Centre
10/2 Edmonton, AB -€“ Starlite
10/3 Calgary, AB -€“ MacEwan Ballroom
10/4 Banff, AB -€“ Wild Bills
