This is important. Just tolerate the first two minutes of banter. The Wonder Years are a fantastic band but don't do awkward set up well. Its interesting to see a band like this in such a weird forum as a Zumiez instore acoustic performance.
The Neff beanie wearing plaid crowd floor sitting is the perfect example of Mall Rock. This isn't a bad thing this is reality. Upon the intro to the soon the uncomfortable laughter and odd timing really is endearing. Yup, I called The Wonder Years endearing.
The Hopeless Records heroes have some of the most intricate melody and lovely vocals for a 'post punk / hardcore' band. I wouldn't consider them any of those genre's though. The Wonder Years are quite simply quality rock and roll. I love their thought provoking lyrics that are delivered a bit more intelligently than most bands. They tell stories with an edge and this is a great example of it.
Yes, screaming sing a long hell. But even vocalist, Soupy Campbell makes it so much more fun than annoying, even mocking VH1's Storytellers. Too cute. Go support these guys- just do it. They deserve tons of appreciation. Stay tuned to the very end, self depreciation is the glory behind these guys. Cute story Bro's tell another….
