Wonder Years, The Vinyl Records
With their rousing mix of pop punk, emo, and earnest alt-rock the Wonder Years clawed their way onto the mainstream charts in the early 2010s with albums like Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing and The Greatest Generation. Hailing from the Philadelphia suburb of Lansdale, the band continued to evolve their sound, folding in elements of indie, post-hardcore, and straight-ahead melodic rock on later releases like 2015's No Closer to Heaven and 2018's Sister Cities. After a four-year break, the Wonder Years returned in 2022 with their seventh LP, The Hum Goes on Forever.
