One more song: Do we really need encores anymore?
Encores have long been an established tradition in live music, but are they really necessary? Scene Queen, Boston Manor and The Wonder Years reveal how their shows end by mixing things up…
When two absolutely awesome bands collide: Hear The Wonder Years' Dan Campbell's guest appearance on the gorgeous new acoustic version of Meet Me @ The Altar's Feel A Thing.
Meet Me @ The Altar have just shared an absolutely stunning new acoustic version of their latest single Feel A Thing, featuring pop-punk titan Dan Campbell.
It's been over three years now since The Wonder Years released their latest album – 2018's Sister Cities – but Dan's unmistakable vocals are back in a big way on this superb acoustic rendition. The frontman was also an 'early champion' of MM@TA, which makes the whole thing even sweeter.

The full-band version of Feel A Thing is the opening track on their upcoming EP Model Citizen, which is due out on August 13. "We are so incredibly excited about Model Citizen being our first major release on Fueled By Ramen – these are absolutely our best songs to date," the trio state.
"Model Citizen was originally a different set of songs, but we decided to throw it all out just days before the EP was due because we knew we could write a more cohesive story with lots of energy. With a heavy easycore influence, we hope Model Citizen knocks everyone out of their seats!”
