Easily the 9th greatest pop punk band in history, Bowling For Soup have spent the last 30 years proving they’re one of the most fun, engaging, and downright entertaining live bands on the planet. If the sun’s out and BFS are on stage, you’re in for a party, complete with massive singalongs, off-the-cuff comedy, and an energy that makes even the biggest stages feel like a backyard hangout.  Formed in Wichita Falls, TX in 1994 and later relocating to Denton, TX, BFS spent years grinding it out in vans, playing to anyone who would listen. Then in 2000, the UK took a liking to “The Bitch Song”, and things took off from there. Over the years, they’ve delivered massive crowd-pleasers like “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” (Grammynominated in 2003), “1985,” “Punk Rock 101,” and “High School Never Ends.” They even became a part of pop culture history with the theme songs for Jimmy Neutron and Phineas and Ferb.  This year, BFS celebrated their 30th anniversary with sold-out tours across the U.S., U.K., and Australia, while also marking 20 years of their biggest album, A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. In early 2025, longtime guitarist Chris Burney retired due to health concerns, but Jaret Reddick (vocals/guitar), Gary Wiseman (drums), and Rob Felicetti (bass) have carried on, insisting, “You can’t replace a legend.”  Renowned for their fun, interactive, and unpredictable live shows, BFS aren’t just a band you listen to—they’re a band you experience. Nobody leaves a Bowling For Soup show without a huge smile on their face. Their fans span multiple generations, with OGs who grew up on the band’s music now bringing their kids—who know every word to every song. That’s because BFS have become ingrained in pop culture, from hit songs to movie soundtracks and TV themes. Whether playing to 3000 or 50,000 people, their onstage chemistry, fan engagement, and comedic charm make every show feel personal.  The band have just completed their biggest tour ever in the United Kingdom and will headline Wembley Arena in London in December 2025. Looking ahead, BFS are keeping busy with new projects, including their upcoming live acoustic album Stoked On Trent, a pop-punk covers album, and a live album recorded in Manchester, UK on the recent tour. With their legendary live performances, ongoing new music, and active social media presence, Bowling For Soup continue to prove that pop punk is alive, well, and a hell of a good time.

For over 20 years, The Dollyrots have been a shining example of how to mix raw punk energy with catchy, bubblegum melodies, all while living life entirely on their terms. Fronted by bassist and vocalist Kelly Ogden and guitarist Luis Cabezas, this power duo has built a legacy of anthemic tunes, relentless touring, and an unwavering DIY ethos. But what sets them apart isn’t just their music—it’s their ability to balance the chaos of punk rock with raising kids that are now old enough to take the stage on their own. Growing up together in Florida, followed by a decade-long stint in Los Angeles, The Dollyrots emerged from the L.A. punk scene with a style that blends humor, heart, and highenergy. The band has released nine studio albums and played over two thousand shows since their 2004 debut on legendary punk label Lookout! Records. The next two albums came out through Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records, followed by several DIY, fan-funded releases and a current alliance with Wicket Cool Records. Long a staple in rotation on Sirius/XM’s Little Steven’s Underground Garage, the band’s output perked up the ears of Wicked Cool Records founder & E Street Band powerhouse Stevie Van Zandt. “Their songwriting has reached a consistent level of greatness,” he says. The prolific pair kept the momentum going in 2023 with the Wicked Cool release Night Owls, a sugar-rush of joyous pop-punk and party-starting rock & roll. The band is no stranger to success, hitting the Billboard Heatseekers and Independent Albums charts several times and featured in movies and TV shows including “Nimona”, “Billions”, & “The Price Is Right” along with classics such as “Easy A” and “CSI:NY”. Their anthem “Because I’m Awesome” has enjoyed almost 3 million streams on Spotify while becoming a rallying cry for sarcastic self-confidence. Their most recent album, Night Owls, is co-Produced by longtime collaborator John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low, Meet Me At the Altar) and features multiple tracks receiving heavy rotation on Sirius/XM and featured on NPRs New Music Friday and Spotify’s New In Punk Playlists. The band’s influence has also extended to the radio, where Kelly stars as the morning show DJ on Sirius/XM Channel 21. She also shares a side project with Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick called Jaret and Kelly. Kelly and Luis aren’t just bandmates; they’re life partners who’ve taken their shared love of music and turned it into a family affair. Their two kids, River and Daisy, have grown up on the road, trading playgrounds for green rooms and bedtime stories for soundchecks. Instead of seeing family life as a limitation, Kelly and Luis have woven it into the fabric of their music and lifestyle. Their fans have watched them grow from scrappy up-and-comers to seasoned musicians and parents, and that connection makes their music hit even harder. They show that you don’t have to give up your passions to raise a family and prove that punk rock isn’t just about rebellion—it’s about creating your own path and sticking to it, no matter what. With a little bubblegum and mischief on the side.
