They've grown from playing "rowdy barroom rock" with "street-smart songwriting" to "arena level megastars" who write "energetic, pop savvy melodies." The truth is, the Goo Goo Dolls have something for everyone and it's time to unlock the band's musical vaults.

EOAC is a captivating collection of previously recorded songs from the Goo Goo Dolls six distinctively diverse albums. Originally recorded between 1987 and 1998, the collection is chock full of the band's catchy, pop-flavored rock songs and passionate crowd pleasers. It covers the Goo Goo Dolls’ impressive fifteen-year career and illustrates how they have established themselves as one of the most popular recording artists of the last decade.

EOAC contains twenty-two original songs from six albums, selected by the trio's songwriters, Johnny Rzeznik (guitar and vocals) and Robby Takac (bass and vocals) with drummer Mike Malinin. "Listening to those records again brought back lots of memories for us," Takac says. "We tried to choose songs that were really meaningful to us and that we thought represented the band throughout that thirteen year period." Twenty-one songs were remixed and concert favorite, "Two Days in February," was entirely re-recorded. Says Rzeznik, "While we were remixing the songs, we thought it would be fun to do a studio version of 'Two Days in February.' The original was recorded live outdoors and had a lot of background noise. On the new version, you don't hear cars driving by."

The EOAC disc will include a “pass key” to enter an internet site designed especially for this collection. The interactive site features vintage video clips, photographs, and unreleased versions of classic Goo Goo Dolls music. Visitors will have access to personalized EOAC postcards, expanded album information and graphics and exclusive EOAC merchandise.

As for the album's unconventional title, Rzeznik explains, "After doing this for fifteen years, you learn what the music business is composed of. It's unfortunate that 'art' seems to be the least important of the four words."

This past July, the group's official artist-operated website, googoodolls.com was re-launched offering fans the opportunity to communicate with band members and with each other.
