With their thirty year anniversary as a band on the horizon in 2024 and following last year’s sold-out night at 3Olympia, Texas’ favourite punk rock export Bowling For Soup are delighted to announce their return to Dublin with two shows in The Academy on 18th & 19th June 2024.
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.
2023 sees the band return to play festivals and shows in mainland Europe for the first time in many years, alongside huge slots at the UK Slam Dunk Festival, while multiple US tours are in the pipeline. A Second chapter of their greatest hits, Songs People Actually Like Volume 2, is due to land late this Summer. Frontman Jaret Ray Reddick is also enjoying new adventures with his journey in the world of Red Dirt Country Music with his debut solo album Just Woke Up.
While the music industry and the world at large is ever evolving, Bowling For Soup have prided themselves on moving with the times, keeping up with the latest ways to stay in touch with their fans (Jaret is now a huge star on TikTok) and get their music out there to as many people as possible. For generations of fans, there has always been a Bowling For Soup song for every occasion. They’re the band who make you smile and they’re the band who will pick you up when you are down, and as their song says, they wouldn’t change a thing.
