goodbye-megaton-deactivated2011 asked: are you the only one in the band with a tumblr? if not would you post the urls of the others?
angrywhitekidmusic-deactivated2 asked: Three things: first, I just want to let you know that your music has actually changed my outlook. I went to therapy for a year and The Upsides did for me in two or three weeks what therapy couldn't do in that full year. Second, if you guys are ever in MA long enough to have spare time, especially in or near the summer, you should drop by Cape Cod. You've got A TON of fans here. Third,...
newstorms asked: wow thanks so much! you have no idea how much that means to me.
highhanddry-deactivated20130308 asked: I love The Wonder Years, please please please do not stop making music. You guys have gotten me through some extremely shitty phases in my life, and probably will through some more in the future. I appreciate you all so much. Thank you.
And you should hit me up on words with friends. :D

justinsavedlatin asked: Two things. 1. That white les paul is awesome. I'm very jealous.
2. I'm kind of pissed that you said you wish your voice was half as good. I wrote a review about Suburbia on my site and one of the things I brought up is how well your voice fits the music and that it should happen more frequently on future releases.

translatesarcastic asked: I'm curious, what's your take on bands asking fans to pay to have things signed at shows or photos taken and all that? I know sometimes it's for charity, which I completely respect and support, but when it's not I feel like... I don't know, actually. I guess to me it just seems a bit odd. I'd love to know your thoughts.

Thank god today’s Warped Tour Venue was in a grass field. It was a bit cooler because there was no heat projecting off of pavement. Today was the most relaxing day thus far on the tour. We had an early set time so I got to walk around and check out bands for the rest of the day. We did a signing/meet and greet at the AP tent and I met some young lady with a funny tattoo of Hello Kitty as the...
danzilla asked: i loved the melrose diner video, do you think you guys will do a proper video for any of the suburbia songs? also thank you so much for being the wonder years, in the few short years that i have known who you guys are you have done a lot for me and also i have bought more twy merch than any other band and i buy a lot so thats saying something…it has become kind of an addiction. thank you
WatchYou have a lovely voice. I wish mine was half as good. I really enjoyed the cover.

blastnegativity asked: Mr. Brasch, your part in Don't Let Me Cave In, especially in the music video, makes me seriously consider dumping my girlfriend and switching teams.

Once again today was absolutely wonderful. I woke up late and then made the 2 mile walk over to the Hotel Encino where I met up with my new friends. We swam in the pool and then hung out in the hotel room and share music while we watch some shitty movie. Kristin and I then made the journey back to the bowling alley where my bus was parked via shuttle bus. We pregamed on the bus for a bit,...

jesstobrazil asked: JessToBrazil on WWF. Bring it.
nickmercier84 asked: well i think thats really cool! and i DID mean to say as far as the actual music(more the guitars and rhythms) that only the beginnings of the songs up until 0:31 for this party sucks and 0:22 for summers in pa(i had to go listen back haha). Or at least thats the most recognizable part for me if anything.
by the way im very aware im overly-wordy with my posts, so i apologize lol

nickmercier84 asked: i remember you posting about how the came out swinging bridge was the same chord progression as the im not sad anymore riff, and i went back and listened and was amazed...but earlier today i was listening to 'summers in PA' and am now going back to 'this party sucks' and realizing those same parts are the same, if not then similar

I spent my day off in Fort Stockton, TX. After some much needed rest I went swimming at a hotel pool with Hellogoodbye and Every Avenue. We got word around 6PM that Against Me had talked to Stockton’s Entertainment and had them open their doors for all the bands staying in the area today. The place was supposed to be closed but the great people that run the place were kind enough to let us...

Today was the first day of Warped Tour. It was such an unreal day. I woke up at 6:45AM to sort merch but felt the most awake I’ve felt in maybe years. I ate lunch with a few of the dudes from Relient K and they were super nice. I look forward to hanging with them in the future. We played at 5PM on the Nintendo DS stage. The set felt great and the crowd reaction was amazing. Thank you Dallas,...
