Greg Attonito (Bouncing Souls) To Do Solo Record

In a new interview, Bouncing Souls front man Greg Attonito talked about working on a new solo album saying:

It’s going to be a 10” vinyl, 6 songs, with a download card. I’m going to release it on Chunksaah Records, and I don’t know exactly when. Probably this… I don’t know, I’m not even going to say when, I’m not sure yet. But it’s almost done being recorded, so hopefully relatively soon. But it sounds great, I love it, and I’m looking forward to getting it out there.

He also talked about the band’s recently announced album tour:

The biggest thing we discovered in the journey, which was very simple but we just hadn’t thought about was that we don’t ever listen to the records. And we usually play a certain amount of songs live, and those are the songs that we’re familiar with and always play. There’s like 40 or 50 songs we mess around with I think, maybe less. And you realize that people who like the Bouncing Souls or grew up listening to the Bouncing Souls know us best from the cds and the way the songs play on the cds. So we realized that it’s probably going to be stranger to us playing those songs in that order then it was going to be for everyone else. Because we’re like “it’s so weird we don’t know those songs.” But everybody else, when they put on Hopeless Romantic they hear those songs and that’s what they think of the Bouncing Souls as. But we haven’t listened to those songs in those orders in years or barely ever because we don’t listen to our own records really. So that was a moment where we discovered that this isn’t going to be weird to them, playing these few songs that we never play, cause they’ve heard them. People like them. So it seems like so simple of an idea, but we didn’t really think of it in that way.
