Instead of a writing format derived from the ideas of one member, The Wonder Years built a record out of opposing influences, colossal arguments and gallons of sweat. The result is 12 tracks of overly honest pop punk that resonates with the band's past influences like Motion City Soundtrack, Saves The Day and The Starting Line, but also speaks to new influences like Latterman, Thursday and even The Hold Steady. Fans can expect to see the familiar soaring hooks and energetic guitar-driven songs that made The Wonder Years what they are, but will also find themselves engaged in new aspects as the band makes use of different dynamics, instrumentation and structures.

This is a package of all four vinyl colors of The Upsides, including the Hot Topic exclusive color, White. Outside of these packages, the White LPs will only be available in 150+ Hot Topic locations around the country. The package also includes a brand new tour journal style zine from singer Dan "Soupy" Campbell. These will only be available for a very limited time with pre-orders. Each record includes a one time use digital download coupon as well.
