Bowling For Soup are back with their new single, “Holding On To That Hate“. The new track marks the first Bowling For Soup original single to come from the new pop punk power trio version of Bowling For Soup and the first new original material from the Denton, Texas natives since their acclaimed 2022 album Pop Drunk Snot Bread.
Spreading a message of moving on and positivity through their expert self depreciating lens mixed with Bowling For Soup’s trademark charm and wit, “Holding On To That Hate” is set to become a new favorite of Bowling For Soup fans old and new across the generations. Holding On To That Hate is available to stream on your platform of choice on this link.
The recording of “Holding On To That Hate” was brought about through Bowling For Soup teaming up with Solid State Logic (SSL) and using the brand new SSL Revival 4000 Channel Strips. The SSL 4000 range and Bowling For Soup go way back – their breakthrough single Girl All The Bad Guys Want was mixed on an SSL 4000 by Tom Lord-Alge! Working with the new SSL Revival 4000 has given Bowling For Soup’s new single the classic SSL pop punk tone with the next generation of SSL gear.
For more info on SSL’s new piece of equipment and their joining forces with Bowling For Soup to showcase its output – we’re very pleased to hand over to the SSL team to tell more: “The Revival 4000 brings back the classic sound from SL4000B and E consoles. What better way to test that than by combining Dan Malsch’s engineering expertise and deep knowledge of the SSL4000 with Jared, Rob, and Gary’s songwriting prowess? To that end, we got together at Soundmine Studios for a two-day marathon, the result of which is a brand new Bowling For Soup single. It’s an honor to have been part of ‘Holding On To That Hate’s production process.”
Alongside their brand new single, Bowling For Soup are also gearing up to celebrate their biggest tour ever by releasing a new live album. A Hangover You Definitely Deserve (Live) celebrates the 20th anniversary of their much loved album A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. The celebratory tour for the anniversary saw them filling arenas in the UK and playing the biggest venues the band has played in the US in many years.
Ahead of its release on October 24th through Brando / Que-So Records, there are two tastes of A Hangover You Definitely Deserve already available to sample. Live videos for “A-Hole” (featuring John James Ryan of Keep Flying on Saxophone) and “Ridiculous” (featuring Matthew Milligan from Wheatus on Keyboard) are available on YouTube and the album is available for pre-save now on this link
Bowling For Soup recently finished up a huge US tour with their great friends in Simple Plan, 3OH!3 and LØLØ and had an acclaimed appearance at Four Chord Festival. From there, they head back to another US festival at Aftershock before picking up a short headline run with more friends The Dollyrots and Don’t Panic leading into Warped Tour Orlando.
