Punky power pop outfit Bowling for Soup was formed in 1994 in Wichita Falls, TX,featuring lead vocalist/guitarist Jaret Reddick, guitarist/vocalistChris Burney, bassist Erik Chandler, and drummer Gary Wiseman. Thegroup really began to jell in 1997 when a heavy touring schedule helpedbroaden their fan base and landed them opening spots for nationallyprominent punk and ska bands. The following year, they recorded a debutEP for the local FFROE label, titled Tell Me When to Whoa!; by now,their base of operations had been moved to Denton, TX, the site of thelabel's headquarters as well. Later in 1998, Bowling for Soup issuedtheir first full-length album, Rock on Honorable Ones!!!; both it andits predecessor proved popular around the state (Honorable Ones soldover 10,000 copies alone) and the band ended up scoring a deal withJive/Silvertone. For their 2000 major-label debut, Let's Do It forJohnny!, Bowling for Soup re-recorded some of the best songs from theirindie records and added a few new tracks, including lead single "The***** Song" and a cover of Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69." Two yearslater, the band released Drunk Enough to Dance, and nabbed a Grammynomination for the single "Girl All the Bad Guys Want." Hangover YouDon't Deserve followed in 2004, and BFS landed another hit single in"1985," which helped propel Hangover to number 37 on the Billboard 200.Bowling for Soup returned in 2005 with Goes to the Movies, on whichthey tackled various television and movie theme songs.
