\"\"<\/a>What I\u2019m about to say, probably makes this review pretty pointless, but I reckon that if Bowling For Soup was to release an album full of farts, spoken word poop jokes, or barks courtesy of the bands unofficial 5th<\/sup> member, Sherman the dog, I would still proclaim it to be the greatest thing ever released.\u00a0 Thinking about it, BFS have managed to include all of the above mentioned things on one of their releases over their 18 odd years, but on One Big Happy, <\/em>we see BFS teaming up with touring partners The Dollyrots and Patent Pending for one of those split type albums where each band records versions of each others songs and in this case, each band also presents 1 new track.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve seen BFS touring in the USA or the UK at some point in recent years, you already know who The Dollyrots and Patent Pending are, that I\u2019m certain?<\/p>\n

How could you go wrong with a song titled Let\u2019s Go To The Pub? \u00a0<\/em>Well that\u2019s what BFS present in the way of a new track, with the band in all their rifftastic guitar fuelled glory delivering another superlative anthem that just reeks of classic BFS\u2026and the smell of Miller Lite.\u00a0 The Dollyrots have released one of my favourite albums of 2012 and their new track Just Like All The Rest <\/em>could quite easily have been lifted off this years release, it\u2019s just that damn good.\u00a0 Patent Pending is the band I\u2019m least familiar out of the 3 and throw up a dash of pop quirkiness with their new track, Psycho In Love.\u00a0 <\/em>With Jaret Reddick teaming up with The Dollyrots Kelly Ogden the other new track, Love Ya, Love Ya, Love Ya <\/em>is just instantly freakin\u2019 awesome, and with a chorus lyric of \u201cI love you, love you, love you and I\u2019m never going leave you, but I kinda hope you fuc*ing die\u201d, it\u2019s a genius love\/hate love song.\u00a0 Imparting their own musical personalities on each others songs works super and refer to the track listing below for the details.\u00a0 If I was forced to pick a favourite one from the bunch, I\u2019ll go with The Dollyrots who add an extra level of bitchiness to the BFS staple, The Bitch Song.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One Big Happy<\/em> is an essential guilty pleasure for fans of the three bands involved, as simple as that…oh and it’s the greatest thing released, ever.<\/p>\n
