2022 is shaping up to be the biggest year in recent memory for Bowling For Soup. The Grammy nominated Texan pop punk quartet are today unveiling their brand new single “I Wanna Be Brad Pitt”. An ode to one of Hollywood’s finest actors, it’s a homage to Brad delivered in a way that only Bowling For Soup can.
The video for the single, featuring one of “Brad’s biggest fans” as well as your favourite pop punk band, can be enjoyed below:

Here’s Bowling For Soup main man Jaret Reddick on why “BFS” have penned a tribute to one of Hollywood’s finest:
“Everyone who knows me, knows I love Brad Pitt. I got this chorus in my head while driving one day, and really, the rest kinda just wrote itself. I wanted the song to be a thoughtful tribute and not sacrifice the homage by making fun of him or things in his life. So that’s the direction I went and when it still got laughs from the band, I knew I had hit it out of the park.”
| Bowling For Soup can also reveal today that I Wanna Be Brad Pitt is the latest single to be released from their upcoming new album Pop Drunk Snot Bread. Recorded in September 2021 in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, with longtime collaborator Linus Of Hollywood handling production duties alongside Jaret, Pop Drunk Snot Bread is the 11th studio album by Bowling For Soup and first since 2016’s Drunk Dynasty. Pop Drunk Snot Bread will be released on the 22nd of April 2022 through Brando / Que-So Records. I Wanna Be Brad Pitt will join other recently released singles on Pop Drunk Snot Bread. These include the global hit Alexa Bliss (which recently passed 4 million views on YouTube alone), last years’ smash Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody’s Doing It) and Killin’ ‘Em With Kindness. The full tracklisting for the album will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Pop Drunk Snot Bread is available to pre-save on your digital platform of choice on this link. Pre-order physical bundles will also be available from the band very soon. |
