Bowling For Soup – My Wena

• 7th Sep 2009

High jinks, free rolling high school spirited rock has been Bowling For Soups meal ticket for some time now.

Latest single ‘My Wena’, continues their trend of scaffold climbing guitar kicks and the unmistakable echo of Jaret Reddick, producing an opening couplet that only BFS could get away with;

“Her name is Wena, hey have you seen her? Everyone thinks she’s amazing. She gets so jealous, she sticks her head up when I’m checking out the ladies.”

‘My Wena’, is a song that encapsulates Bowling For Soup’s ability to use giant hooks to help you to release your inner child. They continue to blur the boundaries between puerility and abandon, building on the confidence gained from 2003’s Grammy nomination for ‘Girls All The Bad Guys Want’.

Despite their growing responsibilities away from music, BFS continue with their well tried formula and it doesn’t seem to be waning just yet.
