Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that Bowling for Soup isn't the name of a documentary by Michael Moore. It's the name of a band from Wichita Falls, Texas, comprised of lead vocalist/guitarist Jaret Reddick, guitarist/vocalist Chris Burney, bassist Erik Chandler, and drummer Gary Wiseman. Their third record with Jive, A Hangover You Don't Deserve is a blend of up-beat, catchy tunes filled with wicked Scooby-Doo 2, just to name a few.

With a sound that is part Beyonce and the Bush twins. With lyrics like "all I need is some ice-cream and a hug", Shut-up and Smile is one of those feel good songs that just makes you want to go and play with puppies in the park on a sunny day. In Trucker Hat, the guys spout, "I'll never go out of style on you". Could they be referring to last year's headwear trend?Bowling For Soup - The Nomination 4a2ie
The song Girl All the Bad Guys Want, from their previous album, Drunk Enough to Dance, earned the guys a 2003 Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. On their new album, they refer to this nomination in My Hometown, a song in which they thank everyone who believed in them and diss the people who suddenly wanted to be their friends once they became famous.Bowling For Soup - The Deal 3j3w2b
