Bowling for Soup is a pop-punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994; best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002, (a 2003 Grammy Award nominee) and "1985" in 2004, a major commercial hit. The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Shit" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars.
The band gained much notoriety when "Girl All The Bad Guys Want", off the album Drunk Enough to Dance, was nominated for the Grammy for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo". Though the band did not take home the award, the nomination served as a launching point for the success of 2004's A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Sales of that album were driven in large part by the radio airplay of the single "1985", a song written by the band SR-71. The version recorded by SR-71 features Jaret on backing vocals, and the version recorded by Bowling For Soup features Mitch Allan Lead Singer of SR-71.
The band members are lead guitar/vocals Jaret Reddick, guitar/vocals Chris Burney, bassist/vocals Erik Chandler, and drummer Gary Wiseman. Lance Morril was the original drummer.
Bowling for Soup Goes to the Movies, a compilation album of cover songs and contributions to movie soundtracks, came out in 2005.
Their new album, titled The Great Burrito Extortion Case, is out in stores.
