The Wonder Years Unveil In-Store Acoustic Performances

How do you follow-up the news that you will be releasing a new album in a couple of months? Why head out on a tour of course. But not just any kind of tour; an in-store acoustic tour.

The Wonder Years has announced just that. The band just revealed their plans to head out on an in-store acoustic performance tour slated to begin on Aug. 29 at Fingerprints in Long Beach, CA. On the same day, they will then make their way to Rhino Records in Claremont, CA. The short acoustic tour will then wrap up two weeks later on Sept. 10 at Newbury Comics in Boston.

The full list of tour dates can be seen below as well as the official tour poster for the event.

The Wonder Year’s new album, No Closer to Heaven, is set to be released on Sept. 2, the same day as their show at Magnolia Thunderpussy in Columbus, OH.

A few weeks ago, the band announced that a portion of proceeds from the pre-orders of No Closer to Heaven will be donated to four different charities; Puppies Behind Bars, Futures Without violence, The Herren Project, and After-School All-Stars. As they explained in a video, the buyer will have the option to pick between the four charities during the check out process and that’s where a portion of their contribution will be sent. For more information about the charities or to pre-order the record, you can head to The Wonder Year’s website.

New Found Glory Launch In-Store Tour

The resurrection for New Found Glory is officially underway now. With the release of lead single “Selfless” and most recently, the goofy boy band parody music video for “Ready and Willing” as well as news that they will be headlining this year’s Glamour Kills Tour, fans of NFG are going to have an overdose of them.

Yesterday, the group revealed that during the Glamour Kills tour, they will be doing some in-store shows across the country. Sadly, not every single tour date is going to have an in-store counterpart, but for those lucky locations, we’d advise lining up a couple of hours ahead of times.

Just a warning.
