The Wonder Years Pull Out of Bamboozle

The Wonder Years have pulled out of The Bamboozle festival for a variety of reasons.

The bands myspace blog stated:

"We decided against doing this for a number of reasons:

1.) It's a lot of time and energy to get ready for right now. We need to exert that time and energy into writing a record.

2.) It goes against pretty much everything I've tried to adhere to since being in this band. I was willing to sell out some of my ideals to play with The Get Up Kids and that's stupid. No show should be $54 dollars for one day. I mean, even Warped Tour is only like 35 and, I understand why it's so much, but, for me at least, I'd rather drop $10 to see 6 bands I like play normal sets at one show than drop $54 to see maybe 10-15 bands I like play short sets and sit through 40 bands I fucking hate.

3.) I probably would have gotten kicked out for yelling at Brokencyde about how date rape isn't cool anyway.

If you go, be sure to support our boys in Reign Supreme, A New Born Thriller, Valencia, Set Your Goals, Passion Brand Clothing and This is Hell. Enjoy The Get Up Kids and Face to Face, I'll be hanging in Philly."
