By the time they were recognized by the national punk scene, they had reignited a "pogo" element to New Jersey punk rock by playing fast light-hearted songs, a model followed by various other local bands (e.g. Blanks 77 and the Bristles). In the early stages of their career, they played a hybrid of punk, funk, metal, and just about anything else they felt like including. They were known for their energetic live shows, albeit with an amateurish element on their recordings at that stage. Soon, they had whittled it down to their own brand of punk, and become one of the most popular bands in the punk scene.

They made a name for themselves by consistently touring over the United States. Rather than signing with a known label, they initially decided to found their own, Chunksaah Records (named after their long-time friend Timmy Chunks), but are now releasing their albums on Epitaph Records.

The Bouncing Souls are one of the best selling and longest lived of the punk bands from New Jersey, following the legacy of previously successful punk bands Adrenalin OD and the Misfits.

We're Coming Back
The Bouncing Souls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're Coming Back
We're Coming Back
We're Coming Back to you
We are never going to go away again.

Hold on a little longer
Try a little harder
Till we all belong together till the end

So remember out there somewhere you've got a friend
And you'll never walk alone again.

Don't be worried, dont be scared
We're fighting to get there
Never die, we're gonna get through
We're gonna run, we're gonna crawl
Kick down every wall
Never die we're coming back to you

So remember out there somewhere you've got a friend
And you'll never walk alone again.

We're Coming Back
We're Coming Back
We're Coming Back to you
We are never going to go away again.

Hold on a little longer
Try a little harder
'Til we all belong together till the end

So remember out there somewhere you've got a friend
And you'll never walk alone again.
