You can connect with Sorry It's Over for additional updates on their website, Facebook and Instagram pages. On your new song "Dog Daze", what's the inspiration behind the song?

Goo Goo Dolls Continue To Evolve With New Album ‘Chaos In Bloom’

Photo Credit: Claire Marie Vogel Grammy-nominated mainstays Goo Goo Dolls are back with a brand new album. Chaos In Bloom is available everywhere you listen to music. The album marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band as it is the first to be produced by frontman John Rzeznik. Recorded at Dreamland Studios outside of Woodstock, New York, Chaos In Bloom was recorded during the early days of the pandemic. The location, which is as remote as it is rich in historic rock music roots, proved to be the ideal setting.
