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 package includes a blue vinyl copy of The Upsides, as well as a black The Upsides t-shirt illustrated by Daniel Bressette. These have a 4 color print on Gildan black t's. 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.
