Get set for what is guaranteed to be a mind blowing, triple threat audio assault courtesy of Texan Power Pop Merchants Bowling For Soup as

they team up with good friends, The Dollyrots & Patent Pending for a one of a kind album release. ‘One Big Happy’ features ten new

recordings with each band picking their favorite song from each other's catalogue and delivering their own unique versions. “We love so

many of these band's songs that it took three weeks for us to choose just two to actually record!” admitted the guys in New York's Patent

Pending who finally settled on a reworking of the BFS track “Shut Up & Smile” & “Hyperactive” from The Dollyrots.

If this all wasn't cool enough, then each band throw a great new original song into the mix. Jaret Reddick, frontman for Bowling For Soup,

revealed his idea behind their new song, “Let's Go To The Pub” – “We wanted to write something anthemic that the UK would totally

embrace, but the rest of the world would understand! I am so happy with the way this one turned out and excited to play it on tour in

October!”

The tour in question is the 'One Big Happy Tour which runs from mid to late October throughout the UK and Ireland featuring all three bands

on one of the most exciting package tours this year! The accompanying album is sure to be the perfect soundtrack for the shows which see

The Dollyrots returning to British shores after making a huge splash back in 2010 but also the live debut of Patent Pending on UK soil who are

hoping to infect fans with performances which earned them a slot at this year's prestigious Billboard Music Awards.

Closing the album in style is yet another brand new original song, in the form of the storming 'Love Ya, Love Ya, Love Ya' - a bittersweet duet

between Bowling For Soup's Jaret Reddick & Kelly Ogden from The Dollyrots. Once again, Bowling For Soup and their extended Rock Family

have managed to create a unique souvenir that will give fans a long lasting memory of one heck of a tour!
