Bowling For Soup have shared their first new music in three years.
Rooted in their signature pop-punk sound, Holding On To That Hate is a catchy, upbeat track that blends self-deprecating humour with themes of letting go and moving forward. It marks the first original song from the Texas band since their 2022 album 'Pop Drunk Snot Bread'. Vocalist-guitarist Jaret Reddick said:
"Sometimes a song just comes out of no where. This is certainly one of them! Rob sent me the music and a melody idea. This whole process is new to me, but it worked for a few songs on Pop Drunk Snot Bread, and I love that Rob wants to be involved in the writing. First listen, and I realized I had woken up in the middle of the night, just a few hours before hearing this, and written down lyrics that fit perfectly! I mean it was crazy. Took me 5 minutes to piece it together and I cut a demo and sent it to Rob. I love when stuff just happens like that. Especially when the result is an absolute banger!”
The trio will play Aftershock Festival in Sacramento this week before a run of US dates with The Dollyrots and Don't Panic on the Warped Or Bust Tour, which culminates with a performance at the Vans Warped Tour in Orlando on November 16.
They'll return to the UK later this year to headline the OVO Arena Wembley on December 13, marking their first headline London arena show and the biggest of their career. Early next year, they're also set to play Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona. Tickets are on sale now.
Since their last studio record, Bowling For Soup have put out a covers record, 'Don't Mind If We Do', a compilation titled 'Songs People Actually Liked, Vol. 2 - The Next Six Years (2004-2009)', and a lullaby album. More recently, they dropped the live record 'Stoked On Trent (Live)' and a deluxe edition of their eighth album 2011's 'Fishin' For Woos'.
They'll release 'A Hangover You Definitely Deserve…Live' on October 24. It was recorded during their Manchester show earlier this year on their UK tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their fifth studio album, 2004's 'A Hangover You Don’t Deserve'.
