AP's "Best Releases of 2002" News Rip-Off Fest Part 4: While joking that the next album would be "a rock opera," Pete Steinkopf of the Bouncing Souls revealed that "with Summer, we really achieved what we wanted, so now we feel finished in a way. Anything goes as far as what we do next. When you have an agenda, it's going to be tainted. When you don't have an agenda, thats when the best stuff comes." The Souls' yet to be titled new album will be released on Epitaph in the Summer of 2002 according to AP. The band claims to be very happy with the results of "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" and will not stray far from the formula they have developed.
