A HANGOVER YOU DON'T DESERVE A Hangover You Don't Deserve is the happiest album EVER WRITTEN…Seriously…These songs were so much fun for me to write, and so much fun for us to work and record together, that I think it shows in every single track…There are a lot of songs here, but we felt that since it takes two years to get a new CD out, we should be giving the real fans their money’s worth…we DID NOT reinvent the wheel here…Make no mistake, this is a Bowling For Soup album…It sounds like Bowling For Soup…Imagine that…This album was recorded in Atlanta, at Butch’s place…He produced four songs, and left myself and his glorious engineer, Rusty Cobb, in charge of the rest… The Song "Two Seater" was meant to be a B Side, but we just love this song, so you get that one as well… We were drunk during the hidden tracks…ENJOY!!!!
DRUNK ENOUGH TO DANCE This is the first album that actually got our label and a lot of fans
excited about our band…This was album #6 for us, and to date, was our best yet…This was the first album that was written, recorded, and put out, in just a matter of months… We teamed up with Butch Walker in Atlanta , GA, who produced the record and co wrote a few songs with me as well, including "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" (which was nominated for a Grammy in 2003)… There are actually TWO versions of this album….Here is why… After the Success of "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" at top 40 radio, our label felt that there was not a single that could follow the song, and carry the band to the next level…We disagreed, but had our hands tied…The dilemma: either re-release the album with a new single and a few more bonus tracks, or put DRUNK to bed and start over and do an entire new album…We just weren’t ready to do that…This was still a new album to most people and, for us to drop off the face of the musical earth for 6 months would have been SUICIDE…so the album was re-released with "Punk Rock 101", and possibly our favorite of all BFS songs EVER…"Star Song"…
LET'S DO IT FOR JOHNNY
The 13-song album that took its name from the Francis Ford Coppola flick, The Outsiders and was the culmination of years of touring in an '82 Dodge, and show-stealing at gigs with bands as diverse as Blink 182, Sammy Hagar, POE, C & C Music Factory, Agent ORANGE, and many others . Several Let's Do It For Johnny tracks, such as "Belgium," "Scope" and "The Bitch Song" (remixed by Matt Wallace of Everlast and Faith No More fame), were re-done from previous BFS albums including Tell Me When to Whoa! and Rock On Honorable Ones. Others, like "Pictures He Drew," which lyrically tackles a painful true story, “Hang On”, and “All Figured Out” were brand-new compositions. In fact, I was rushing to write as many new songs as I could two days before we started recording, fearing we would be regurgitating songs on the fans in Texas that had been with us for so many years…And of course, "Summer of '69" is a creative cover of the hit written by Canadian treasure turned Englishman Bryan Adams.
ROCK ON HONORABLE ONES Rock On Honorable Ones was the first album we ever recorded in a REAL studio. We recorded it off and on from June 1997, until October of that same year. This album is our first attempt at rounding the edges off of the PUNK ROCK thing, and trying to find a sound we could stick with. We released it in January of 1998, and have pressed it five times, selling around 8000 copies as of May 2000. Ska was big, and we had just moved to Denton, TX, where JAZZ IS KING, so BEWARE OF THE HORN SECTION on four or five tracks. "Scope" was the big single, but "2113" is still a favorite at shows. This album still stands up well on its own. It is still available at finer record stores everywhere!
