May 18th, 2013 Brian Lion

UTG favorites, The Wonder Years, recently did an in-store performance at Vintage Vinyl in New Jersey of “There, There,” the opener off their recently released fourth studio album, The Greatest Generation.

“There, There” is one of our favorite tracks off the album and this acoustic rendition really ignites the crowd’s love for TWY with heartfelt participation mainly taking off at the 1:31 mark with the lyric, “I’m sorry I don’t laugh at the right times.” You can view the acoustic performance after the jump.

The Greatest Generation is out now anywhere music is sold.

May 8th, 2013 Adrian Garza

Well, this is it. With less than a week to go until the May 14 release of The Wonder Years‘ third album, the Hopeless Records band has decided to stream The Greatest Generation online. Several people have said that this record couldn’t be more “make or break” for this PA pop-punk group, we’ll leave you to decide just where it lies between the two.

Follow the jump to stream the entire album. It’s not too late to pre-order TGG. Oh, and to those longing for a summertime fix of TWY, do remember that the band will be performing …

STREAM: The Wonder Years – “The Devil In My Bloodstream”

May 7th, 2013 James Shotwell

We thought The Wonder Years were done teasing material from their forthcoming album. Thankfully, we were wrong.

While appearing on Man Overboard’s radio show last night, TWY frontman Dan “Soupy” Campbell premiered a new song entitled “The Devil In My Bloodstream.” The track, which is the fourth to surface off The Greatest Generation is the first piano-lead track in the group’s history. In fact, the first two minutes are essentially just Campbell and the piano, but as the song hits its stride the full band comes in for an near-overwhelming musical punch that emphasizes every lyric uttered moments before. It’s …

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

May 4th, 2013 Matthew Leimkuehler

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.

The Wonder Years Premiere “The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves”

May 2nd, 2013 Adrian Garza

The time is almost here for The Wonder Years: The Greatest Generation is just about two weeks away from being released through Hopeless Records, and thanks to the folks at Kerrang!, we can now stream another new song.

“The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves” is the third song to surface off The Greatest Generation, and just like the others it does not disappoint. Each track has been bursting with personality and engaging content, but no two have been similar in the slightest. It’s clear these Pennsylvania natives have more focus and determination to succeed than ever before, …

Streetlight Manifesto Fans Fight To Get DC Venue Changed

April 22nd, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Last night a group of punk kids from the DC area began petitioning for Streetlight Manifesto to drop the venue they booked in Northern Virginia (which for those who don’t know is basically a suburb of DC) known as Empire. For those who remember, a few weeks back The Wonder Years spoke out against Empire’s staff for their usage of homophobic slurs. In light of that incident (and others), fans are now asking Streetlight move their final area performance so that fans can attend the show without supporting an establishment that does not believe in equality.
