2007 was the year Texas’ Bowling for Soup reached the 9th album mark, not a feat many bands can boast about and the band have kept up their high standard for writing quirky, catchy punk pop songs. The Great Burrito Extortion Case has the hits, the hooks and something no other album of the past 10 years has; more undiluted happiness per song than should be legally allowed by law. The anthemic I’m Gay is, according to lead singer Jaret, the single happiest song of 2006.
Bowling for Soup have come a long way since they were a cult favorite handing out demos in the summer heat of the Warped Tour. Yet their passion and enthusiasm is still just as strong, Jaret explains: “This is gonna sound corny, but the thing that’s kept us psyched about playing music – besides all the free beer – isn’t fame or fortune or hit songs. It’s that we never lost that feeling of excitement we had the first time we sat down to write something together. You look at this band anytime from then to now, and we’re basically the same: just a bunch of fun, beer-drinking fan-boys from Texas who got lucky. The fact that we’ve been able to parlay that into something that makes other people happy is payment in itself.”
