A Wonder Years Valentine's Day

The Wonder Years will celebrate 2020 Valentine's Day with the release of Burst & Decay, Volume II, followed by a headlining tour the next week where they'll be joined by Free Throw, Spanish Love Songs, and Pool Kids.

Volume II is an acoustic follow-up to number one and will be released on Hopeless Records. It features arrangements from Little Kruta String Quartet and guest vocals on from Alex Maniak (Shortly).

“On the first Burst & Decay EP, we went in with a rough idea of re-envisioning a few old songs and walked out of the studio in love with the process. We were able to breathe new life into songs that had become neglected over the years and give new dimensions to ones that we'd played endlessly,” vocalist Dan Campbell says, adding, "This time, we went in knowing exactly what we wanted to do––build new versions of old songs that subvert expectations but remain familiar. We stretched our limits, we got to work with the insanely talented Little Kruta String Quartet, we had a legitimately good time in the studio and we made something we're very excited to share with you.”

Won't Be Pathetic Forever
No Sleep (2008)

The Wonder Years return with a brand new 7", their follow-up to last year's Get Stoked on it!. The record features four new tracks that are exclusive to this release. The 7" starts off with a building intro before the band gets busy with "Solo & Chewy: Holdin' it Down." Like their previous effort, we are treated to a mixture … Read more

Get Stoked on it!
No Sleep (2007)

I love Set Your Goals, but the popularity of the band's amalgamation of pop-punk and melodic hardcore has brought forth a million and a half wannabes. Sure, New Found Glory started it all (though they pretty much stuck to pop-punk), but I'll be damned if I haven't heard ten new clones this week alone. Philadelphia's The Wonder Years are the … Read more
