Bowling For Soup have shared the official music video for “Holding On To That Hate”, their first new original song in over three years. The track marks the band’s first new material since their 2022 album ‘Pop Drunk Snot Bread’ and arrives during a new chapter as a pop punk power trio following guitarist Chris Burney’s retirement. The video features behind-the-scenes footage from the studio sessions where the song was recorded, giving fans a closer look at the process behind the release.
On the writing of the song, frontman Jaret Reddick says, “Sometimes a song just comes out of nowhere. This is certainly one of them.” He explains that Rob Felicetti sent over the music and melody idea, which aligned perfectly with lyrics Reddick had written earlier that night. “Took me 5 minutes to piece it together and I cut a demo and sent it to Rob,” he adds. “I love when stuff just happens like that.” The single is out now and continues the band’s blend of melody, hooks, and self-deprecating charm.
