Former Stranger music contributor Megan Seling has written, "Everything you need to know about the Bouncing Souls you can learn by listening to their song 'True Believers,' the epitome of pop-punk anthems. The chorus: 'We live our life in our own way/Never really listened to what they say/The kind of faith that doesn't fade away/We are the true believers.' Shakespeare it is not, but the Souls have been practicing what they preach for more than 20 years, touring the world and playing the same high-energy songs about riding BMX bikes, crushing on the Quick Chek cashier, and loving punk rock music till the day they die. And God bless 'em for that." They'll return to Seattle with opening support from LA punks the Bronx, London's Skinny Lister, and Sharp/Shock.
