Bowling for Soup (BFS) is a pop punk band very similar to Blink-182. The big difference was BFS never had that big hit single to put them over the top. But they did well as an album and touring band. Bowling for Soup are from Wichita Falls, TX led by lead singer, main songwriter and guitarist Jaret Reddick. He and drummer Lance Morrill were classmates. He met guitarist Chris Burney in high school. Burney's family owned a coffeehouse with a stage. That's where Reddick met bassist Erik Chandler. They eventually formed the band Rubberneck. The name was changed to Bowling for Soup based on a Steve Martin comedy routine. Morrill was replaced by Gary Wiseman in 1998. After releasing two albums on a local label, BFS signed with Jive Records. Girl All the Bad Guys Want is from their second Jive album Drunk Enough to Dance in 2002. The album was produced by Butch Walker. The song was nominated for a Grammy. It charted but it didn't get high enough to be a big hit. The music video is an amusing parody of other punk bands. The girl is model Lindy Christopher. The 2004 album A Hangover You Don't Deserve was certified Gold and the single 1985 reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100. That was the height of BFS' success. The band is also known for covers of movie and TV themes. Bowling for Soup Goes to the Movies was released in 2005. They also performed the theme for Disney's Phineas & Herb. BFS left Jive after the 2009 album Sorry for Partyin'. Jive refused to promote the album and shelved it after the release. Since then, Bowling for Soup has recorded for their own label. They released a new album in 2015 followed by a live album in 2019. This comp was released in 2014. Here's the video for Girl All the Bad Guys Want by Bowling for Soup.
