Bowling for Soup

Bowling For Soup are pop punk legends. Celebrating their 30th anniversary as a band, the Grammy nominated Texan four piece smashed their way into the public consciousness at the start of the millennium and have stayed there ever since. With hits like Girl All The Bad Guys Want, 1985, High School Never Ends and the Disney powered Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day (from Phineas and Ferb), there’s a good chance most people you know will know at least one “BFS” song. Their 2022 album Pop Drunk Snot Bread was hailed as their best album in 15 years, a tribute to their enduring ability to put out great songs all the way through their career.
