You've gotta be freaking kidding me. They picked THIS as a single? I know their careers are done on Alternative, but I'm not sure this is even a smart choice to send to the 12 year old Pop crowd. I mean I think the song is catchy as hell and it always cheers me up when I'm down as immature as it is, but this certainly a song NOT to listen to with the windows down haha. I definitely would have gone with "Much More Beautiful Person" which is by far my favorite song on the album.

Wait, wasn't the second single (which failed, by the way) released at the beginning of the year? ???
I guess it's no different than what (+44) did with "155" or what the Used did with "I Caught Fire"...

Their second single was "When We Die" which I thought was also a poor choice for a single as it's a serious slow ballad unlike most of their upbeat pop-punk material. To answer your question though, I believe it was released sometime in the Spring because I remember their album came out in January with the first single "High School Never Ends" being sent to radio around late December/early January. |

While we're sort of talking about them, I saw this on AbsolutePunk and thought it was worth pasting on here.
At last night's Bowling For Soup show in Tempe, AZ, the band wrote a song on-the-spot for a pregnant lady in the crowd called "Jager For The Baby." Then, after that, a girl handed Eric (a band member) her phone with a text message asking him to call her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her with her best friend. The whole band proceeded to call him an "asshole" and make fun of him.

I read somewhere else today (but can't recall where) that this will indeed be the third single as well.
