 Bowling For Soup
Though they can’t bowl, and soup is rarely on their menu, the drunken power-rock band Bowling For Soup have been riding a wave of success since earning their first Grammy nomination in 2003. Bowling Four Soup, or BFS for short, began back in Texas when guitarist Christ Burney and bassist Wrik Chandler formed a band that would frequently (and conveniently) play at a coffee shop owned by Burney. As fate would have it, there was another band that often performed there that just happened to include BFS drummer Gary Wiseman and lead singer Jaret Reddick. Luckily for all of them, their two bands dissolved at the same time, and they decided to team up to form one kick-ass group. They do admit that the only reason they originally teamed up was so they could party and drink beer, it wasn’t long before they were signed to a label and had a number of hit songs playing all over the country including the Grammy nominated “Girl All the Bad Guys Want” and “1985.” Their new album, Sorry For Partyin', is now for sale and recently hit the top 10 chart on iTunes.
