Following the release of new album Boxes, the Goo Goo Dolls are back with a vengeance.
The Goos’ - consisting of singer John Rzeznik and bassist Robby Takac - have created some of the most memorable musical moments with chart-topping hits such as Name, Slide, and acoustic ballad Iris, which spent 18 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
Having formed band in Buffalo, NY, in 1986, Rzeznik and Takac spent their first decade traversing North America in a van and bringing their raucous brand of melodic punk rock to college kids and winning over small but enthusiastic crowds of fans.
The band has toured the globe countless times, performed in front of millions of fans, received numerous awards (including four Grammy nominations), and recorded and released 10 studio albums, with Boxes being their 11th.
Rzeznik has also been honoured with the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award.
Catch them live at Glasgow's O2 Academy on October 10.
