With their thirty year anniversary as a band on the horizon in 2024,
Texas’ favourite punk rock export Bowling For Soup continue to grow
their global fanbase and expand their success year on year. Also
dubbed the crown princes of pop punk, Bowling For Soup - frontman and
guitarist Jaret Reddick, fellow guitarist Chris Burney, drummer Gary
Wiseman and bassist Rob Felicetti have proved that nothing, not even a
global pandemic, has slowed the demand for their unique, humour filled
live shows and upbeat, heartfelt anthems.
Songs such as High School Never Ends, Punk Rock 101, 1985 and of
course the Grammy nominated Girl All The Bad Guys Want resonate as
much today as when they were written and are proving extremely popular
in the modern streaming world. Their 2022 album, Pop Drunk Snot Bread,
a play on the cultural reference “pop punk’s not dead”, was
heralded by fans and critics alike as the band’s best release in
fifteen years. Millions of streams and YouTube views for songs like
Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody’s Doing It), I Wanna Be Brad Pitt
and the global smash Alexa Bliss (dedicated to WWE’s own multi-time
world wrestling women’s champion) show that Bowling For Soup can
still run rings (and riffs) around their younger contemporaries. The
album also features songs like The Best We Can, Wouldn’t Change A
Thing and the positive mental health anthem Hello Anxiety, where
Bowling For Soup show they can do both serious and reflective, with a
BFS heart at the core.
