About Bowling For Soup

Bowling for Soup is the band you turn up to when you want to relive the glory days of pop-punk, with a side of wit and a whole lot of fun. Formed in Wichita Falls, Texas, back in 1994, the band quickly made a name for themselves with their hilarious lyrics, and totally unfiltered charm. 

Their breakout hit “Girl All the Bad Guys Want” earned them a Grammy nomination, and they kept the momentum going with anthems like “1985,” “High School Never Ends,” and “Almost.” Whether they’re singing about teenage angst or just making fun of themselves, Bowling for Soup delivers it all with a wink and a laugh.

Known for their high-energy live shows and hilarious on-stage banter, the band has built a cult following over the decades and for good reason. Frontman Jaret Reddick and the crew have a simple mission: make you laugh, sing along, and maybe spill your drink from dancing too hard.
