The Wonder Years Band • Page 106

Got it. Love A loss for words and TSSF....not so much the other two.

 

This rules

 

I might like his version of "All Too Well" as much as the original. What a great cover.

 

If anything I think they've been trying too hard to be dynamic, like it's been a real concerted effort the past two albums in particular to be AS LOUD and as quiet as possible. I also saw them described as an emo band the other day and after Sister Cities I can't think of a better descriptor really. Even the love song sounded painfully sad. Love the band though and hope they make it to Oz. Summer has just hit here (over 110 degrees Farenheit all this week) so it's officially time for the annual TWY in-car discography listen through. Suburbia might be my favourite album ever to blast in the car on a summer's day.

 

Also regarding The Upsides. I disagree that it's of its time and place. I relistened yesterday and it holds up. In my mind I always consider it a less mature first step kinda record. Listening yesterday made me realise it's damn near perfect. I'd take it over any of their other records except Suburbia (and I really like all of them)

 

That All Too Well cover is awesome.

 

It's not really Christmas until I hear this classic

 

I made a playlist while I showered today but for some reason this just played on repeat the whole time but I agree

 

They posted the Burst and Decay version of Hoodie Weather for all of the Sun Drenched Pavement Society members. Y’all are in a for a treat with that one come February.

 

Is SDPS continuing into 2020?

 

Apparently a member emailed them a couple weeks ago asking the same question, their response made it seem that it won’t be returning.

If they do bring it back, it definitely needs a bit of a rework and re-organization. A lot of shipping issues seemed to arise as it went on for many members.

 

Also I didn’t feel like mostly anything was worth the price if I’m being honest

 

The Sister Cities demo tape and the It Must Get Lonely shirt are probably the only things I would have bought separately at the price they ended up being with shipping. The Hank bobble head is kind of neat too, and my wife loves the sweatpants, but other than that I agree.

 

yeah some of it was kinda worthwhile but it was definitely a superfan kind of thing and even then half the stuff was barely worth it imo.

 

Honestly bummed we never received some sort of vinyl record.

Loved that Bleachers cover though!

 

Whoa... there was a sister cities demo tape?!?

 

They should have 2 tiers of SDPS. Digital and Physical.

Charge $30 a year for digital. This is access to the Instagram, presales, and include a full live show audio recording and 4-5 demos/acoustic/covers/bsides. I feel like this is such easy money. Very similar to how Linkin Park used to do their fan club.

For physical, basically do what they are already doing.

 

It's my birthday today and I've waited so long to make this joke

 

me a month ago lmao

 

Same lol

 

I wonder if he knew he'd end up with a kid and a wife in less than 10 years from writing that song. Inspiring.

 

i mean he was already seriously dating alison at the time so,,,,,,,,,,,,probably yeah

 

Happy 10th birthday to a record that pretty much saved my life.

 

New version of “Washington Square Park” is spectacular.

 

Was always excited to hear Washington Square Park on this, but didnt expect it to be as good as it turned out to be. Makes me excited for what they dud with the other songs on this EP
