Background
In an interview with Distorted Sound, Reddick stated "'Lunch. Drunk. Love.' people refer to as my divorce record and it was pretty angry, and there’s just a lot of emotions on there that you’re not used to hearing from Bowling For Soup."[5]
Production and recording
Greetings!!
In just a few days, I will begin the process of writing songs for the next Bowling for Soup album. Then, this spring, we will hunker down in downtown Denton, Texas and start recording!!! You, our fans, have supported us so much for almost 19 years!!! So for this record, we are changing it up a bit.
We want you guys to be right with us the whole time. Literally!!!
That’s what happens HERE!
By pledging, you’ll get the album the second it’s done. And along the way, you’ll be able to access exclusive updates as I am writing songs. We will check in during rehearsals, updates from the studio while we lay it all down…and show you album art and even share with you plans for videos before we shoot them…Then we will do exclusive updates from video shoots and photo shoots and much, much more! By pledging, you will also get the chance to vote on the title of the album itself!!! How cool is that?!?!
Seriously, who is stoked??
Just $10 gets you a download of the new album as soon as it is done plus the exclusive updates!!
Just $15 gets you that download, plus the new album on cd, PLUS an exclusive acoustic CD that is only available RIGHT here to our pledgers…Two albums for $15 bucks!! We have gone mental!!!
Have a look to the right —> and see all the other stuff we’ve listed that can be yours. There is everything from pieces of BFS history, to exclusive T-shirts and posters, vintage back stage passes, house concerts and much much more!!
Remember, you only HAVE to pledge for the $10 download to get the Exclusive content…And the REALLY cool thing about PledgeMusic, is if you decide you want to add something else later, you can!!!
We want to bring this music directly to you and are so excited that we can finally do that here with PledgeMusic and you are LITERALLY going to be along for the entire ride…And when the album is done…You get that sucker right away!!!
And not only are you helping to make this new album come to life, but we will all be helping out an incredible organization called Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, who do amazing work in helping career musicians during times of illness, disability, or age related problems. 5% of EVERY pledge, even after we meet our goal, will go to them.
Well, that is about it…I need to get to writing, and you need to get to watching this all come together!!
Let’s do this!
I love you all!
Jaret[6]
Within 48 hours, 500 pledges were received[7] and in less than 7 days Reddick announced "Dude, you guys killed it...In less than 7 days, you guys made this all happen!!! Could not be happier, and more excited..."[8] As the goal was reached Reddick gave pledgers a video of an early acoustic version of the song "Since We Broke Up". Chandler finished recording bass on May 10, 2013. It was announced that on day 10 in the recording studio the drums are done. Tracking and recording at the Daycare was officially wrapped up in May and that the songs will be sent to mixing. On June 11, 2013, pledgers received an update regarding the album's title and that they would get to vote on what the album should be named. The band released the official title and cover for the new album on June 20, and the album was sent to be mastered on July 15. More artwork was released in August along with lyric videos for "Envy", "Rooftops", "Real", and "Right About Now", as well as videos for "I am Waking Up Today", "Since We Broke Up", and Circle" releasing throughout September.
