Bowling for Soup is a Grammy-nominated pop-punk band from Wichita Falls, Texas whose anthems "Girl All the Bad Guys Want," "1985," and "High School Never Ends" made them one of the defining acts of the early 2000s alternative rock wave alongside contemporaries like blink-182, Sum 41, and Simple Plan. The band also wrote and performed the theme song for Disney's long-running animated series Phineas and Ferb, extending their reach well beyond the traditional rock audience and making Bowling for Soup a household name for fans of every age. In 2024 the band celebrated the 20th anniversary of their gold-certified album A Hangover You Don't Deserve with an extensive North American and UK tour, a run fueled by the pop-punk revival and a Spotify audience of over 3.2 million monthly listeners. Their live show blends fan-favorite hits with genuine crowd interaction and the kind of wry, self-aware humor that has made Bowling for Soup a college circuit staple for more than two decades. Whether headlining a university homecoming, anchoring a festival lineup, or playing for a corporate audience that grew up on early 2000s radio, the band delivers high-energy rock with immediate name recognition and broad cross-generational appeal.
