<P> 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 , Jaret Reddick and Lance Morrill formed coolfork ! , which Chris 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 took the name Bowling for Soup ( inspired by Bowling for Dollars ) in 1994 , and the band was officially formed in Wichita Falls on June 4 , 1994 by Jaret Reddick ( lead vocals , guitar ) , Chris Burney ( guitar , backing vocals ) , Erik Chandler ( bass , backing vocals , acoustic guitar ) , and Lance Morrill ( drums , percussion , backing vocals ) . Morrill left the band in 1998 ( on good terms ) and was replaced by friend Gary Wiseman of Gary and the Wisemen . The band 's name was derived from a comedy act by Steve Martin . </P>
