Since forming in 1994, Bowling For Soup has gone on to capture the hearts of music fans in every corner of globe with their infectious, fun filled attitude. It’s one that spreads from the stage when performing live, bringing everyone in the room together and leaving with a guaranteed smile on their faces. Let Bowling For Soup put a smile on your face on Friday, June 25 at the Mercury Ballroom.

Bowling For Soup continue to forge ahead with the release of their brand new album, "Lunch. Drunk. Love" for release in September. This new collection of songs are perhaps some of the band’s most personal to date. Of course there’s the ever present element of fun running through its core, but alongside the BFS styled anthems is some incredibly touching material showcasing how the band continue to grow two decades on. Songs such as ‘Real’, ‘Envy’, ‘I Am Waking Up Today’ and a cover of the 1988 Edie Brickell & New Bohemians hit, ‘Circle’, are delivered incredibly fresh and from the heart.

Jaret is open when it comes to the new songs, “It’s a really honest album. It’s been an interesting time in my life as far as going though personal changes and people will realize this when they hear the songs.

"Lunch. Drunk. Love" is an exciting new chapter and direction for Bowling For Soup. As they turn a corner and begin to balance the rock and roll machine alongside real family life and a host of musical side projects, they assure fans they’re not getting rid of them that easily. “With the internet being the way it is, we’re more in touch with our fans now than we’ve ever been.” explains Jaret, “We’re all excited about the future and what’s next. Honestly, it opens up the whole world for us!

If you’re a fan of Bowling For Soup you may not be seeing us in person as much but you’re definitely going to have more new songs.” Not only is there the new album set for release, but also a Greatest Hits retrospective and a fun packed Covers album are on the agenda.

Their main secret has always been the most obvious - be yourselves and have fun because it shows.  "Lunch. Drunk. Love"  is a fine example of that.
