Pop punk band The Wonder Years takes a melodic approach, confirming their stance as progressive musicians, crafting songs of purpose, and detailing through the lyrics they choose to write stories of discontent. ..
These Fast Times depict a sense of longing, undesirable feelings, and conflicts, as their music becomes their base and their calling. The Road To Hell Is Paved In Good Intentions is an EP full of chords and chaotic memories, describing the world at its most vulnerable.
The band’s debut EP is a gritty, fast-paced blast of pop punk that is easy to understand but has its technicalities. The songs progress at an impressive speed and the guitars sound tweaked to fit the pop punk method. The band knows they’re hurt too, and when listening to this admirable blast, you’ll even hear these 4 guys try their hardest to take on their demons head first. And on this EP, the band don’t moan about the state of decay, they only want to try to keep their world spinning.
In These Fast Times, the band has created something new and original, with a pop punk style. Other components have been thrown in to make it their own.
The acoustic intro of “White Lies” is a promising start, but the vocals quickly take over. It’s a melodic track that’s on point, solidifying the pop punk drama. ..
The song is about the disconnection that people feel in today’s society. It’s about the way that we’re all so connected, but at the same time, we’re all so disconnected. The lyrics talk about how people are living in a world where they can’t have any fun, because there’s too much stress and anxiety. But even though it feels like everything is going wrong, we still find ways to have fun. The band knows this, and they use it to their advantage in ‘Empty Cup’.
These Fast Times are putting all their effort into this performance, and are proceeding through the streets of their own sadness, in an attempt to prevail. ..
