The Bouncing Souls - Born To Be Tour with The Suicide Machines

The Bouncing Souls play Born to Be and celebrate their classic albums, with The Suicide Machines performing Destruction by Definition. The Bouncing Souls are something of a punk rock institution. The band have been consistently churning out their beloved brand of anthemic punk since 1989, and have earned an intensely loyal fanbase with tireless touring and an unrelenting love of making music. As the band approached the creation of their tenth full length, they sought to make a record that captured the spirit of their earlier work, while incorporating who they are today. That record is Simplicity and its 13 tracks of undeniably infectious punk rock prove that The Bouncing Souls have a lot more to say. In making Simplicity, The Bouncing Souls set out to write songs that, first and foremost, would translate into the live environment. With over 20 years worth of anthems under their collective belt, it's a challenge to write a setlist that incorporates newer material, but Simplicity's many standouts are more than up to the task. Next, the band enlisted the help of producer John Seymour, who manned the mixing boards for their fan favorite LPs How I Spent My Summer Vacation and Anchors Aweigh, to record the album with all of the raw energy of the live performance. The production of Simplicity perfectly embodies the band's bite and power, the driving guitars, prominent bass, rock-solid drums, and soaring vocals all cutting through with no unneeded studio shine. From speedy hardcore-influenced ragers, to comparatively tender punk ballads, Simplicity's dynamics show every side of The Bouncing Souls. On Simplicity, The Bouncing Souls do what so few long-running bands are able to accomplish: they utilize all of the skills and lessons that come from over 20 years of making music, while still capturing the reckless spontaneity of their past work. That delicate balance can only be found if there's a sincerity in the songs that comes from genuine love of playing music together, and The Bouncing Souls have that in spades. The Suicide Machines are a Ska/Punk band formed in March 1991 in Detroit, Michigan. During the course of their career, the band has released seven full-length albums on the labels Hollywood Records, SideOneDummy Records, and Fat Wreck Chords, as well as several EPs and singles. They have experienced lineup changes over the years, all with the founding member Jay Navarro as lead singer and frontman. The contemporary lineup includes Ryan Vandeberghe-Malburg on drums, Rich Tschirhart on bass, and Justin Malek on guitar. The Suicide Machines have achieved a high level of recognition through relentless touring, radio play (notable having their song “No Face” on KROQ’s Top 106.7 in 1997), and song placement in popular movies and video games. 2026 marks the 30 year celebration of their Destruction by Definition record, which the band plans to tour relentlessly in support of. Nightmares Of The West might be Strike Anywhere’s first new music in over a decade, but in some ways the five-piece hasn’t changed at all. These seven songs – six brand new originals and a cover of “Opener” by London punks Blocko – are as full of fire and fury as anything the band has written since forming in Richmond, VA in 1999. At the same time, this EP infuses the band’s ideological vision with the perspective its members have now, both as people in general, but also as political activists and musicians currently living in the USA – somewhere that’s markedly different from how it was when Iron Front, their last album, was released in 2009. Human Issue is a Southern California hardcore punk band rooted in the raw urgency of 80shardcore. Fast, direct, and stripped of excess, the band pairs short-burst songwriting with sharp,poetic lyrics and a strict “get in, get out” approach. Founded by Hunter Martinez, Human Issue began as a music collective rather than a fixed lineup. Members are interchangeable, egos are checked at the door, and the band keeps moving no matter who’s available. If someone can’t make a show or a session, the work still gets done. Doors at 6:00pm. Show at 7:00pm. Full bar service will be available throughout the show, with the kitchen being open 1-close.
