Bowling For Soup have released not one but two hit albums in the last year. Their 2022 studio album Pop Drunk Snot Bread was hailed as the band's best album in fifteen years. Featuring the hit singles Alexa Bliss, I Wanna Be Brad Pitt and Hello Anxiety to name a few, the album has racked up millions of streams, thousands of sales and critical acclaim from fans and press in equal measure.

Their recently announced covers album, Don't Mind If We Do, is also now out for everyone's enjoyment. Hey Mario, originally a hit for Bowling For Soup bassist Rob Felicetti's former band Patent Pending, was given a Bowling For Soup makeover - just in time for the release of the new Super Mario Bros movie!

The video for Hey Mario features Bowling For Soup attempting to lift the spirits of Mario in a variety of ways - some more traditional for Mario than others! Check out the video here:

Don't Mind If We Do, released on the 4th of April 2023 through Que-So / Brando Records, is a collection of covers recorded by Bowling For Soup in recent times, along with a couple of new covers. Featuring songs from a wide variety of artists ranging from Hanson to Kanye West to Social Distortion, genres are no barriers when it comes to a great Bowling For Soup cover. The album also features two brand new covers - Hey Mario, and the biggest song of 2023 so far, Miley Cyrus' Flowers.
