Bouncing Souls
The next New Jersey band is the Bouncing Souls. This is a very familiar New Jersey band that plays a very well known jam that has been played at Montreal Canadiens games at the Bell Centre. Bouncing Souls at one point in 2007-2008 inaugural season at the Prudential Center played “Ole.” Honestly, hearing Ole being blasted in between face-offs at Devils games last season really was a solid pick.
For those of you who are wondering the origins of the Bouncing Souls, they are from New Brunswick, New Jersey. A lot of people are beginning to embrace “Ole” versus 12 years back. This song made a big comeback since then with the help of the smart phone and social media. Having listened to this song, it is very catchy and it is very inclusive to a lot of the “family-friendly” attitude of a young and growing 3rd generation of Devils fans.
One of the things that should be taken into consideration if the Bouncing Souls do win in the fan vote contest, the criteria for the new goal song needs to be “lively, family friendly, unites the fanbase, and displays a lot of New Jersey state pride.” Having these expectations kind of like how the Dallas Stars did when they got Pantera to customize a goal song for them. In this case it would be wicked awesome to having a song like “True Believers” would be an excellent choice to succeed Howl by Gaslight Anthem.
