'Hailing from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, The Wonder Years is one of the most recognized and listened-to modern punk rock bands in the United States. The Wonder Years started out as so many punk rock bands do by playing in a friend's basement. Once The Wonder Years signed to No Sleep Records in 2007, however, the band's career took off. Influenced by artists such as Motion City Soundtrack, The Wonder Years is a group that puts on a fun live show and creates timeless albums.'
'Though it shares a name with a classic television show, the similarities between the band, and the show end there. In the time since it was formed in 2005, The Wonder Years has put out an impressive six full-length studio albums and has solidified itself as a heavyweight contender in the alternative rock and punk rock genres. From tours through the United Kingdom to headlining slots at festival circuits in the United States, The Wonder Years is a band with a dedication to creating great music.'
