The band put on a brilliant set, the perfect mix of old and new songs, and that was so nice to see because it showed that the band doesn’t just want to play all their new stuff. They played at least one song off of every album, and the diversity is what made this show stand out.
The Wonder Years are true representatives of a certain strata of their generation. They for them and to them. But they sound like emo and they have the same problem with melodies that inflicts all “emo” bands with the exception of My Chemical Romance. They are playing Best Buy on Thursday and if you wanna catch up with the Greatest Generation, that is the place to be.
Started in ’99, they’ve released some killer albums, toured with big names, and really built up a massive reputation. They’re positively iconic, and their new album, “Happiness Is” just furthered my love for them and their music.
They released a new song, titled, “Stood A Chance”, and it’s absolutely phenomenal. It’s refreshing and new, upbeat and powerful. It’s like it was made for warmer weather, driving with all the windows down and it being bright and sunny.
