Big Soul-band, The - Johnny Griffin Orchestra

Advantages: great songs
Disadvantages: not so good sound quality

...i bought bouncing souls live mainly because im such a big fan of the band and ove their music. i can say after listening to it that they are not the strongest of bands live, however i love listening to it and instead of listing to their studio albums i now usually listen to this live album. the quality could hav been better but over all i think this albums really good and if you do like bouncing souls or other punk bands then i advise buying because its a great difference from their studio albums. this is a 2 disk ablum and is great value for money, i am now going to list the tracks: Disc 1: "Here We Go" "Sing Along Forever" "Say Anything" "That Song" "Cracked" "Kids And Heroes" "Kid" "The Something Special" "Punx In Vegas" "Joe Lies" "Argyle" "Private Radio" "I Like Your Mom" "Born Free" "East Coast! Fuck You!" Disc... Read review

...soulful, emotive voice. Blow X Blow The catchy dance tune forever more, is followed by the slower, less vibrant blow X blow.

The song then unfolds into a fierce circuit, synth driven anthem. This will definitely drive the crowds wild. Smart move by Vicious to build... Read review
