joshfoxy asked: Just wanted to say that the new song is fantastic. Couldn't be more excited to hear the full record and what other cool stuff you guys did with it. Keep up the good work, gents.
Thanks. I’m very proud of the new record. We tried to step outside the box on this album without getting too far away from what we’ve been doing. I’m excited to hear what everyone thinks when it comes out in 2 weeks.
driveandheart asked: Matt! Remember me? I hope this past US tour was awesome. I was so bummed I couldn't go to the Indy show.... I'm studying abroad in Ireland this semester so I guess it wasn't really possible... haha I guess I'll see you at Warped this summer? It's 5 days after my birthday so it should be a good time! Take care!
Yes, I remember you. The past US tour was great. We we’re touring with all of our best friends in the scene so it was very comfortable and relaxing. I hope that Ireland is treating you well. I’m over there in a few weeks for Slam Dunk festival. See you on Warped Tour.
heroes-to-humans asked: Matt I love your fucking photography
Thank you. I’ve haven’t been too active lately with my photography but I need to get back into it. I just got a few new cameras so I’ll probably be playing with them soon. They’re really old so it should be fun.
The Wonder Years will release a new song titled ‘The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves’ this Thursday, May 2nd. You’ll be able to check out the song on Kerrang at 12PM EST.
I haven’t used this thing in forever (or most other social media) so I’ll throw a quick update out there. Life is good. Home has been treating me well. I’ve been spending quality time with Ashley, friends and family. In the past few weeks I’ve gone to a Phillies game, been bowling, mini golfing, winning money at the casino, drinking fancy beer, eating tasty food, watching great movies and genuinely enjoying myself. I’m currently in the process of recording 3 solo demos. Drums, guitars and bass are complete. I just have to finish lyrics and vocal stuff (which is always the hard part for me). It’s coming along slowly but nicely. It gives me something to do with my time home. TWY has released 2 songs off The Greatest Generation named “Passing Through a Screen Door” and “Dismantling Summer.” If you haven’t checked them out please do so now. The album comes out on May 14th which is only 3 weeks away! We are also starting a new video series called ask the wonder years. You can go to www.hopelessrecords.com/askthewonderyears for more details about that.
