The Wonder Years - Me Vs. The Highway

Stay Ahead of The Weather - No Money, Mo Problems

Everyone listen to that bridge in the TWY song and lose it. That SAOTW song is the best SAOTW song so far. Great split.

I'll sell you one of mine for face value probably. Let me see what they're like in the mail first when I get them. Maybe I'll want to keep them haha. Remind me

The TWY song was recorded by Nick Steinborn from the band!!!

This song has over 100 plays in my iTunes and I was never to make out the smoke rings line or the you seemed so weak in front of me line. I suck

The part of the bridge where he goes, "And I'll say the best years may still be ahead of me." That part is so good. I still fanboy over this band sometimes.

And I'm glad I like the songs. Excited to get my split eventually, as it was one of the rare times I paid for something with no clue what it was going to sound like.

Thank you so much all of you! It means a lot to hear stuff like this. I wish every article I wrote was like this, it's such a great feeling writing about bands you like and you know their story like the back of your hand.

Thomas is my favorite writer on this site.

You're the man

Yes to different dudes, but I have always felt there is a little bit of a difference in the songs. You're right though, Evan's songwriting is so distinctive that there's kind of a tie-in among everything he does.

It really captured Soupy's attitude towards this whole thing. It's wonderful.

I was at this Orlando show, and it was great. Not a single person was disappointed. Every band did phenomenally.

The quote about your best-friends and the Wonder Years is what really struck me, because it's true. We keep all these bands to ourselves, but my goodness, they're so good, everybody needs to know.

Great, great show. That crowd was fantastic, better than the Tampa one.

ICF's first full US tour was in my Nissan Altima with TWY back in '08. They pulled our trailer (Josh crashed it on 4th of July..fucker) and we shared gear for 35 days. I'll always feel sort of in debt to them for that tour, it showed me what being in a band was actually about. Back then one thing was really noticeable to me: these dudes "got it" -- It's so weird having been at those shows, playing the WBPF record release show, having turn outs of 10 people in Oklahoma, whatever else...to see where it is today. There's not a better group of guys that I've met in my almost 6 years of doing this, they deserve all of it and more.

Damn that is a cool story. Thank you for sharing that.

There were 1,000 copies of the 6" that went for sale a while ago. They sold out in a couple hours and there will never be any more made.
