Bowling For Soup, Gig Review. o2 Academy, Birmingham.

Originally published by The Birmingham Mail. October 2009.

It is easy to see why Bowling For Soup remain firm fan favourites on the punk-pop circuit.

At Birmingham’s o2 Academy they tore up the rule book and played outstanding music with little or no pretensions and seemingly took a bucketload of pleasure from seeing the capaicity crowd enjoy what was on offer.

By opening the set with I’m Gay from the Great Burrito Experiment album and Almost from a Hangover You Don’t Deserve the Texas foursome set the standard for the evening.

Bowling For Soup, Sorry For Partyin’. Album Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. November 27th 2009.

The ultimate good time band from Texas have once more come up with the goods and delivered an album that will make music critics cringe but delight their legion of fans around the world.

Unashamedly entitled Sorry For Partyin’, the album contains thirteen normal tracks and five bonus ones, just in case there isn’t enough Soup in the bowl for you.

The band have been around for long now that it could be considered impolite to say boys when referring to the foursome but there is something rather charming and cool about this band and their ways that boyish suits them perfectly.

Perhaps it’s ironic that Bowling for Soup brought their particular brand of rock to Liverpool on the night that the city was hosting the MOBO awards for the first time. In one corner of the city the corporate and glitzy glamour that is always associated with ceremonies throughout the world and in the other, four lads from Texas, plying their trade the only way they know how, with a room full of eager, sweaty, loyal fans and one hell of a party atmosphere.
