Bowling For Soup team up with able machines for a cover of Elastica's Britpop anthem 'Connection'.

Pop-punk legends Bowling For Soup team up with electro-pop duo able machines for a cover of Elastica's 'Connection'. The new release adds a super fun and different vibe into both artists discographies and it's clear that they must've loved doing it.

"I have always loved this song! We used to play it in the van non stop! One day I was listening to a new able machines song and just thought... My best friend, Bowling For Soups producer, Linus of Hollywood is in an Electronic band! We should do this 'Connection' together! Even the song title is perfect for this collab! Luckily, Linus and Tay liked the idea, and ran with it! I am so stoked for how this turned out... The video is next level!" - (Jaret Reddick, Frontman, Bowling For Soup)

The magnetic cover also comes with a music video that acts as a nod to retro sci-fi. The video was filmed in and around Los Angeles including locations where Star Trek and other classics were filmed.

Aside from the collab and following up on the success of their best show of their careers (so far) at London's OVO Arena Wembley, Bowling For Soup return to the UK in 2026 for a huge summer tour alongside Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls.
