The Wonder Years are often described as the new "flag bearers" of the pop-punk world. Cut from the same cloth as their power-chording predecessors, the sextet rely on the same, typical song progression that you might hear in a New Found Glory or Bayside tune. While comparable, upcoming bands have struggled to reap a mass following, TWY seem to have struck a chord (albeit an often times overmodulated one) with the 17-to-20-somethings and are mainstays at Warped Tour as well as other punk rock...

Release Date: May 14th 2013 For the last few hours, I've been sitting in front of my computer with a blank screen, not exactly sure how to start off this review of the new record, The Greatest Generation, by pop-punk band The Wonder Years. A part of me is slightly afraid to review this, because it's such a "huge" record, words can't even begin to describe it...

I don't know what draft I'm on of this review. I think probably my sixth. I really can't remember. I've probably deleted 4,000 words over the past two weeks. Part of this is because for the past week I've had this terrible fever thing and half of what I wrote was rubbish...

Release Date: May 14, 2013 I don't know what draft I'm on of this review. I think probably my sixth. I really can't remember. I've probably deleted 4,000 words over the past two weeks. Part of this is because for the past week I've had this terrible fever thing and half of what I wrote was rubbish. The other part is because no one could have expected this record, and if you claim you did expect it, then you're a liar. I believe in The Wonder Years...

Sound: As with previous albums and EP's by The Wonder Years, the sound is no different. The guitars are loud and play catchy melodies that you'll hum along to after the first listen. The bass is low, deep and fast. Songs like "Woke Up Older" and "Don't Let Me Cave In", the bass stands our or has a bass "solo" of sorts. In "Suburbia", there is an excellent mix of fast paced action riffs and slow, soft ballad type songs...

Release Date: June 14, 2011 In order to ensure this review retains some degree of objectivity, I have a confession to make - I love pop-punk. Not the pop-punk of the last 3 or 4 years, but what I suppose is now considered classic pop-punk - early 2000s, self-titled era New Found Glory, The Movielife, The Starting Line and Sugarcult, amongst others...

The Wonder Years have taken pop punk to a new level on their third studio album, Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing. Taking inspiration from Allen Ginsberg's poem, America, the Pennsylvania punkers are exploring bigger issues than the average, superficial problems of other pop punk acts...

The Wonder Years' new album is called Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing, a line partially lifted from Allen Ginsberg's 1956 poem, America. If you think that's a somewhat heady subject for a typical pop-punk band to be tackling, odds are you aren't alone. But the Wonder Years are anything but a typical pop-punk band, even if they may have began as one and largely functioned as one up until the release of 2010's excellent The Upsides...
