Here are some thoughts from BFS main man Jaret Reddick about the upcoming Volume 2 of their Greatest Hits: “Having a “Greatest Hits” is one of things you sort of dream about as a kid, but deep down, it’s more if a fantasy really. Now here we are realizing our second and we have nearly made it to half way through our career. I was nervous about these songs. Sonically, on the originals, they were already “there.” But I think like everything in our band, the years add something to the luster, and it certainly happened here! The songs are still intact with their original selves. But I think you will feel a different energy. In a good way.” Bowling For Soup recently announced a huge UK tour for February 2024 and the tickets have been flying out the door!
