Goo Goo Dolls have announced a career-spanning ‘Rarities’ LP, made up of unreleased gems, remixes, and more.

The group are currently in the studio working on their 13th studio album, a follow-up to 2019’s ‘Miracle Pill’.
Last month, Goo Goo Dolls surprised fans with the release of quarantine project ‘EP 21’ – produced by frontman John Rzeznik – comprising four fan-favourite tracks from their catalogue.
Meanwhile, last November, Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers teamed up for a cover of ‘Iris’ by Goo Goo Dolls.
It came after Bridgers posted a tweet saying she would cover the song if Donald Trump lost the US presidential election to Joe Biden. They released the cover as a download for 24 hours, with proceeds going to Democrat Stacey Abrams’ voting rights organisation, Fair Fight.
Rogers said of Bridgers and the cover: “She understands culture and, with ‘Iris’, I was just following her lead.
“It was all this weird, wild inside joke that somehow everyone else was in on. It’s funny to know a friend so well, but then as an artist getting to see her in the studio… seeing her work just make everything make sense.”
