Tonight they are playing the second of two headline shows at the venue, a celebratory performance of the critically acclaimed <em>&#8216;Suburbia, I\u2019ve Given You All and Now I\u2019m Nothing\u2019<\/em> in its\u2019 entirety.<\/p>\n<p>Opening up proceedings tonight are <strong>Gnarwolves<\/strong>, who apart from having the coolest band name ever, are a pretty good live band as well. Offering a sound that sits somewhere between Spraynard and Laterman, their short but energetic set is well received by the crowd members who have turned up early.<\/p>\n<p>Up next are <strong>Maycomb<\/strong>, a band who may be familiar to long time fans of The Wonder Years, having supported the band on previous UK tours. They reprise their supporting role tonight to great effect. After initially apologising for \u201cnot being The Swellers\u201d (the band who supported at Monday night\u2019s sold out show) they kick into a rousing set. Whilst they may not reinvent the pop-punk wheel, Maycomb deliver a solid half hour of fun to an ever-swelling crowd and look confident in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>Five minutes before <strong>The Wonder Years<\/strong> come on, the audience seemingly doubles in size and the stage is set for a special night indeed. \u00a0As the opening chords and familiar drumbeat of <em>&#8216;Came Out Swinging\u2019<\/em> kick in, the crowd explode into a frenzy of moshing, crowd-surfing and stage diving that doesn\u2019t relent all night. <em>&#8216;Local Man Ruins Everything\u2019<\/em> is delivered with supreme passion, and is responded to in kind, as a packed room screams <em>\u201cI\u2019m not a self help book, I\u2019m just a fucked up kid\u201d<\/em> back at the band.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Slower numbers such as <em>&#8216;Suburbia\u2019<\/em> and <em>&#8216;I\u2019ve Given You All\u2019<\/em> offer not only a reflective moment for the whole room, but a chance to hear songs that are not usually in the band\u2019s touring repertoire, which the crowd relish. Soupy is in top form tonight and has a lively involvement with the crowd throughout, a trait that is so loved in this band.<\/p>\n<p>As the last notes of <em>&#8216;And Now I\u2019m Nothing<\/em>\u2019 fade away to raucous applause, the band can\u2019t resist an encore of fan favourites. A quartet of older songs follows; <em>&#8216;Melrose Diner,\u2019 &#8216;You\u2019re Not Salinger, Get Over It\u2019, &#8216;Hostels and Brothels\u2019<\/em> and <em>&#8216;Washington Square Park\u2019<\/em> and they provide a exclamation point to this triumphant show. Whilst it has been made clear tonight that <em>&#8216;Suburbia\u2026\u2019<\/em> is a brilliant record, the encore serves as a reminder that the rest of the band\u2019s material isn\u2019t half bad either. It\u2019s clear that the only way is up for <strong>The Wonder Years<\/strong> as everyone\u2019s favourite underdogs produce a show that people will be talking about for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Words by Tom White<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last time The Wonder Years played The Peel was in support of \u2018The Upsides\u2019, their second album which cemented their place as one of pop-punk\u2019s hottest prospects.
