The Wonder Years

The Wonder Years is an American rock band from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, formed in July 2005. The band currently consists of Dan "Soupy" Campbell (lead vocals), Casey Cavaliere (lead guitar, backing vocals), Matt Brasch (guitar, vocals), Josh Martin (bass, vocals), Nick Steinborn (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals) and Mike Kennedy (drums, percussion). They have released seven full-length albums, two EPs, and several splits/compilations. The group is currently signed to Hopeless Records. Their name originates from a paper that Campbell read that was written by one of his after-school educators titled "The Wonder Years." History Formation, the early years (2005–2006) The Wonder Years were formed in 2005 out of the remnants of an old Lansdale, Pennsylvania, band called The Premier. The Premier consisted of future Wonder Years members Dan "Soupy" Campbell, Matt Brasch and Nick Steinborn, Matt Wells, Dave Hughes and CJ Morgan. The first Wonder Years practice was in Mike Kennedy's basement on July 5, 2005. On that day they wrote their first song, "Buzz Aldrin: The Poster Boy for Second Place". In their first two years, two split EPs with other local bands were released. Their first, with Emergency and I, was released in 2005, featuring two songs later re-recorded on their first full-length album Get Stoked on It! -- "I Fell in Love with a Ninja Master" and "Buzz Aldrin: The Poster Boy for Second Place"—plus "Cowboy Killers". The second was split with band Bangarang! and also featured two songs that would be re-recorded for Get Stoked on It! -- "My Geraldine Lies Over the Delaware" and "Let's Moshercise!". The other two songs on the EP were "I Ain't Sayin' He a Gold Digga (Sike!)" and "Through Two Hearts".
