My New Findings: Ver. 2

Lately I've been on a major binge of poppunk/hardorcish type of music. Bands which the likes of Four Year Strong have followed along with in their genre of music. Keeping with that theme, my next band to talk about is "The Wonder Years", straight from Lansdale, PA. This band reminds me of some old school Four Year Strong, with hardcore type guitars, loud vocals with hardcore-sing-alongs, and mix of a synthesizer in the background.

This band is a definitely must have if your down for sing-a-longs and having a good laugh. Songs have a certain humor about them that makes it fun to listen to. The song "Let’s Moshercise!!!" is on their album "Get Stoked On It!!!", and goes on about how moshing is in fact better than normal excercise and healthy eating habits. Also, songs like "Bout To Get Fruit Punched, Homie" (also from "Get Stoked On It!!!) use kool-laid and a character of Captian Crunch to describe coming home from a hard days work to find your girlfriend with your friend.

They really know how to use good music and humor to talk about issues that all of us seem to go through in our lives. Its good to hear things that remind you of things in life and help you deal with issues that might be bothering you. I will be seeing The Wonder Years alongside Fireworks May 31, in Romeo, MI at Static Age.
This band deserves 4 Clenched Fists in the Air out of 5.
