SINGLE REVIEW: The Wonder Years – “The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves”

Artist: The Wonder Years
Song: “The Bastards, The vultures, The Wolves”
Album: The Greatest Generation 
Label: Hopeless Records
Genre: Pop-punk

Songs of angst, honesty and passion… that is what The Wonders Years does finest. Those intangible factors are what they have built their tenure in this scene on. “The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves,” the third track released from the highly anticipated new record, The Greatest Generation, contains those intangibles, without a doubt; however, there is so much more to this song than first heard on the surface.

Instead of going on American Idol, like the rest of the crazies who want to meet Steven Tyler, these people got creative. Hey, it got our attention. It could work!

Here is what they said …
