The band produced it themselves, and that DIY spirit is all over its 12 quick-fire tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"I Like Your Mom\" sets the tone in under a minute, all bratty grin and buzzing guitars. \"These Are the Quotes from Our Favorite 80's Movies\" is a love letter to Valley Girl, The Breakfast Club and Say Anything, while \"Joe Lies (When He Cries)\" shows the melodic instincts that would carry them for decades. Their ramshackle cover of The Waitresses' \"I Know What Boys Like\" is exactly the kind of left-field choice that made them a basement-show favourite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the jokes there is real warmth, a sense of friendship and small-town escape that would become the Souls' signature as the years rolled on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor pop-punk fans tracing the roots of the Jersey scene, this LP is the place where it all starts, and it still sounds like a party in a sweaty basement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269572567345,"sku":"809796000412","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/The_Bouncing_Souls-The_Good_the_Bad_the_Argyle.jpg?v=1793640003","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-bouncing-souls-the-good-the-bad-the-argyle","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
