Goo Goo Dolls announce new album, share single “Over And Over”
Entertainment Weekly reports that, not only are the Goo Goo Dolls still a thing, but they’re releasing a new album, Boxes, on May 6. Hailing from the misguided musical taste of your adolescence, the Goo Goo Dolls moved away from their garage-rock roots and toward the sonic pablum of adult contemporary rock with their 1995 breakout album A Boy Named Goo and 1998’s even-more-successful Dizzy Up The Girl (the latter of which boasts the mega-hit ballad “Iris,” written for that movie where Meg Ryan dies on a bike because she’s not even trying to pay attention to the road). Basically, the Goo Goo Dolls are the kind of band you weren’t afraid to leave in your Discman for your parents to find, because they recognized the songs from the radio and were confident this wasn’t the kind of music that made kids get tattoos.
