Jaret Reddick is the lead singer, guitarist, and frontman of Bowling for Soup, the Texas pop-punk band behind hits including “1985,” “Girl All the Bad Guys Want,” “High School Never Ends,” “Almost,” and “Punk Rock 101.” Since forming in the 1990s, Bowling for Soup has built a lasting career around catchy songwriting, humor, and a strong connection with fans, while also reaching younger audiences through projects like the Phineas and Ferb theme song. More than three decades into their run, the band is still touring heavily and playing some of the biggest headline shows of its career.

In this interview, Jaret looks back on the stories behind some of Bowling for Soup’s biggest moments, including the breakthrough success of “Girl All the Bad Guys Want,” the Grammy experience that followed, and how “1985” evolved from the original SR-71 version into the massive hit fans know today. He also talks about the band’s creative peak in the 2000s, their connection to Phineas and Ferb, performing an acoustic set aboard a Southwest Airlines flight, why the band nearly called it quits, and what it means to still be reaching new milestones decades later. Jaret also previews Bowling for Soup’s upcoming tour, including their November 15 stop at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale.
