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…
Watch the Hank The Pigeon-starring video for The Wonder Years' brilliant throwback song, Out On My Feet.
Following the October release of Breakless in the style of 2010 album The Upsides, The Wonder Years are keeping the anniversary theme continuing this year by unveiling a new single recorded to sound like it could have fitted on 2011's Suburbia I've Given You All And Now I'm Nothing.
The Philly pop-punk favourites' latest effort goes by the name Out On My Feet, and as well as its throwback sound, it also comes accompanied by a brilliant video featuring band mascot Hank The Pigeon playing his little heart out, plus loads of old-school live footage.

“I was going through old hard-drives full of demos and voice notes when I stumbled onto an idea I had that never got brought to the band,” explains frontman Dan Campbell, to which he then asked himself, “What if we tried to go back and write songs that sounded like those records? What would that sound like?”
Both Out On My Feet and Breakless are set to appear on a new The Upsides and Suburbia… 10 year anniversary boxset – more details of which should hopefully be arriving soon…
