In 1996, Bowling for Soup relocated to Denton, Texas , and released a split album, Cell Mates , with Denton band The V.I.M.S that same year, and in 1998 released their second studio album (and third overall), Rock on Honorable Ones!! for the Denton music label FFROE. The group released its first EP, Tell Me When to Whoa , through FFROE later that year. The album sold over 10,000 copies, prompting Jive Records to sign the band. Morrill left the band on good terms and was replaced in July 1998 by Wiseman. As a side project, beginning around 1999, Reddick and Chandler performed acoustic shows at smaller venues and showcases, playing primarily Bowling for Soup songs in an acoustic fashion, billed as Jaret & Erik.
