Artist Picks: Bowling For Soup

Titans of pop-punk (and tongue in cheek cover versions) since they formed in Texas in 1994, Bowling for Soup are best known for their 2002 hit 'Girl All The Bad Guys Want'.

Not only are they back in the UK in a week's time for the How About Another Round tour (calling at 15 towns and supported by punk duo The Dolly Rots and Nottingham pop-rockers Lacey - but they're also the latest band to give us their Artist Picks.
