Bouncing Souls 'The Greenball Crew' EP reissued in vinyl

May 20, 2013 marks the 20th anniversary of The Bouncing Souls first self-released CD The Greenball Crew EP as well as Chunksaah Records birth. The original release was only 1,000 CDs and was out of print within the year.

To celebrate their two-decades anniversary, the EP will be re-issued for the first time, redesigned and remastered for a vinyl-only release. It will be available for pre-order and only pressed for the amount of pre-orders received with sales closing on May 20, 2013. Pre-orders are available now at Chunksaah.

In addition to this, The Good, the Bad, and the Argyle and Maniacal Laughter are also being re-issued on a limited vinyl on Chunksaah. Details of those re-issues will be forthcoming shortly.

Bryan Kienlen shared his thought about reissued EP

"The Greenball Crew EP is a lot of things, but mostly it's a snapshot of four guys learning how to play music. To be fair, this collection of songs does have its moments, but we've generally regarded it as a real turd. But there's no accounting for taste and if anyone genuinely digs it, then more power to 'em. In addition to blindly feeling around in the dark for how to write songs, it was a real learning experience in the whole process of recording and releasing a CD on our own. By the time this thing came out, the songs were years old and we had already turned a corner as a band, finally finding ourselves with the writing of "Joe Lies" (our self-proclaimed "first good song"), among others, and wanted nothing to do with these weird old songs. Only 1,000 copies were pressed, most of them selling right away at the release party at Trenton's legendary City Gardens. We sold the remainder on our first U.S. tour (with our fellow New Brunswick punks and new friends, Lifetime), and decided never to re-press it. We even went so far as to start recording over the master copy to save money. Despite the demand, we thought is best that the world not be exposed to such sonic lameness. Had it not been for K8, we would never have re-released it; but it is hard to say no to K8 when she asks us all sweet and stuff."
