Burney and Chandler soon formed the Folkadots, while Wiseman formed Gary & the Wiseman. Burney and Chandler, along with Morrill, also formed the band Slaw. Around this time, Reddick formed the band Terminal Seasons. Not too long after, Reddick and Morrill formed coolfork! which Burney later joined. The band was in full swing by 1993, playing such venues as the Refuge. A few months later, after forming a band called Rubberneck, the group changed their name to Bowling for Soup, which was derived from the phrase “bowling for shit” from a comedy act by Steve Martin , and the band was officially formed in Wichita Falls on June 4, 1994, by Reddick (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Burney (lead guitar, backing vocals), Chandler (bass, backing vocals, acoustic guitar), and Morrill (drums, percussion).
