THE WONDER YEARS “Low Tide” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction

[@josueleon1288]

Johnny telling Nathan how he likes the “It’s low tide in serotonin bay” line and Nathan just ignoring him, really represents the young emo me showing my not emo friends songs for them to skip.

[@nathandjohnny]

Hahaha

[@wolfftv8223]

I'm with Johnny....HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THE WONDER YEARS?!? All jokes side its all love guys . Best reaction channel out there and I am glad you checked out one of my favorite bands of all tine.

[@nathandjohnny]

Appreciate you!

[@gaijinguineapig]

The Wonder Years are soooo fuckin' good. Nathan, I'm shook. I've never heard someone not liking Dan's vocal, but hey, it was bound to happen! The Greatest Generation is a perfect album and, "Low Tide," gives me TGG vibes for sure. Johnny is talking about their, "Sister Cities," album.

[@jamesphilipdorse8161]

100% brother, Sister Cities doubled down on that super dark, more artistic emo energy which isn't for everyone. Not the most ideal starting point with TWY, Johnny stitched Nath up there a bit 😅 There is SO much more to discover and love about this band, I hope he gives them another shot 🙏

[@gaijinguineapig]

@@jamesphilipdorse8161 absolutely. Suburbia...the upsides...spoiled for choice really. I noticed Get Stoked On It isn't on Spotify. 🧐 A bonafide mystery!

[@jamesphilipdorse8161]

@@gaijinguineapig GSOI is on Spotify though, it's just a remixed and remastered version. Can you not find it?? 😦

[@gaijinguineapig]

@@jamesphilipdorse8161 no way! I swear to you, the earliest album they have listed under TWY is The Upsides (Deluxe Edition-2010.) WTF...yet they have the Sleeping on Trash collection...

[@jamesphilipdorse8161]

@@gaijinguineapig are you in Australia? It's definitely on Spotify here, maybe other countries have different albums available for streaming.....

[@ddawg3000]

Their song “Cigarettes and Saints” is big cry because I’m a man energy

[@user-dy2yv7cy8p]

Hands down my favorite twy song.

[@RoamingThePNW]

Came back to listen to this song again and holy shit I forgot Nath's hair 😂

[@eboethrasher]

Awesome so glad you're finally reacting to them!

[@raymccumber7365]

The wonder years is an all time great punk rock band. Been following them since 2009 and they seem to write songs that mesh with me during my life events. Big part of my life!

[@aaroncosta1574]

Somebody probably already told you, but The Wonder Years just toured with Spanish Love Songs earlier this year.

[@badwolfmarsh569]

FUCK YES. Waited so long to see some wonder years on here. Always loved the content guys

[@spreadsheep]

Thanks for bringing to light another fantastic band to add to my subscribe list, this song was amazing.

[@blairinator17]

The comment about the chorus lyrics are interesting, I liked the contrast of the intense, emotional lyrics in the verses and the basic 'cause who gives a shit' lyric in the chorus. Almost felt like he's saying who gives a shit writing more lyrics here, but maybe that's just me. Killer song anyway, not usually a massive fan of the wonder years but this song ripped. Keep up the good work on the reactions lads.

[@RoamingThePNW]

Banger!!! Love TWY been awhile since I've heard them. I dig the raw vocal sound with the rasp. Inject more of this into me.

[@sockwithaticket]

Love TWY, will be catching them on their London date in November. The way Dan writes about his mental health struggles has always really resonated with me, it's always tinged with defiance. This is probably the fastest, most up tempo of the recent singles.

[@Ray_Mac]

The "growing out my hair cuz who gives a shit" line is probably my favorite part of the song! Very relatable for me, I'm growing out a pretty messy beard and haven't been getting "low reg" haircuts anymore

[@Kotsoros37]

I love pop punk wonder years! Super fun old school WY type song. Understandably the vocals are a bit am acquired thing but I agree with Johnny, I luv em!

[@user-dy2yv7cy8p]

What’s cool about the growing out my hair lyric. He was playing around in his basement with his kids during the pandemic. He was singing random lyrics during and that was one of the random things he said and they made a song around it. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

[@caponebd7941]

I’m really glad you made the comparison to Jesse from Brand New. I actually found the Wonder Years when I was searching for something to fill the void left by Brand New disbanding.

[@adamcoleman5522]

I'm w/ Johnny on this one, the Wonder Years are LEGIIIIITTTTT. Its not for everyone but its definitely a fkn jam!

[@deadewok02]

The wonder years just don't miss. I can't wait for this record.

[@andrewcavallo1877]

I highly suggest you check out their Sister Cities and No Closer To Heaven albums if you’re looking for the deepest and most raw emotion in songwriting you’ll ever hear.

[@eboethrasher]

Sweet, so where's a Spanish Love Songs react at, then, boys? LOL! Saw them together earlier this year and it was an epic show. Loved the react, and yeah, "Growing out my hair cause who gives a shit" is obviously the hook, the show of desperation that sums up the rest of the song. And it's great that he took Low Tide from that set of lyrics hat are very much a stand out of the whole song. Dan's mental health has always been a driver of a lot of his lyrics and the way he approaches the subject is what makes him one of the best lyricists out there, along with the way Dylan from SLS approaches things in his life, and the universal shit we all deal with. They both are very relatable.

[@ddawg3000]

Let’s go! I love when I comment a recommendation and you boys do it haha appreciate you (even though I dont agree with Nathan)

[@eboethrasher]

Sweet! I've been recommending them on every pop punk react I've watched, haha. Spanish Love Songs too, and I was surprised to hear Nathan mention them since I haven't heard them mention them at all before (but I don't watch every video, TBF).

[@nathandjohnny]

We’ve done SLS on the channel a while back

[@CMox727]

great to see you guys look at the wonder years, I'd recommend checking out one of the other singles from this album 'Wyatt's Song' !! Can't wait to see them live this winter

[@Taufik-cy1pk]

Ataris vibes, twy is back👍

[@willking4772]

“They remind me of Spanish love songs” Makes sense! They just toured together.

[@karimabdelkarim6437]

NATH HOW COULD U NOT LIKE THE WONDER YEARS But then again it's understandable, but omg, am glad you WILL give then another go. I really hope u end up enjoying them!

[@dimebagdavid1]

Oh god the Spanish love songs comparison killed me. 🤣🤣

[@billybooth7216]

Nath check out Devil in my Bloodstream, will change your mind

[@jamesphilipdorse8161]

I had no idea you guys reacted to emo and melodic punk type stuff as well as metal so this took me by pleasant surprise. TWY are my #1 band of all time, I have three tattoos related to them, I've adored them since 2011 and once followed them up and down the east coast when they toured here. Low Tide is the best song they've written in 7 years. Please react to more songs by them 🙏

[@nathandjohnny]

Check out our playlists for more

[@dangerjonez21]

Nath… I know you aren’t a big fan because of the vocals BUT… try the album “The Greatest Generation” listen to the whole thing because they bring back pieces of a bunch of tracks in the final song and it just feels so good. Otherwise it’s definitely hit or miss for his vocals for a lot of people. I love it, some hate it.

[@giure4447]

They remind me a bit of Kings of Lion. I like them!

[@beingashope]

My boyfriend and I have similar music tastes and connected through our love of Senses Fail but he does not like The Wonder Years and I love them. I recall him saying he didn’t like the lyrics.

[@beingashope]

Also, they are GREAT live.

[@nathandjohnny]

You deserve better 🤣

[@aliyahburnette8018]

Nice void of vision shirt Nathan I dig it.

[@juniardiardi200]

Please reaction band : Straightout - Solace Thankyou

[@Adrian-vk1cu]

I get Atari's vibes from the vocals. Music is fun as!

[@Adrian-vk1cu]

Actual get Boy's of Summer - Ataris vibes from the turnarounds

[@nathandjohnny]

Agree!

[@cooperhorton6319]

Try reacting to "summer clothes" by them, it's a lot more mellow

[@itcouldbelupus2842]

The idea of not wanting to listen to The Wonder Years and choosing to listen to Chidos instead... Insane to me.

[@novak1220]

This made me get into their music even more! I actually love the vocals so much, but the repetition of growing out my hair definitely gets cheesy and annoying after a little.

[@K1NGD0M]

I got Youth Fountain vibes the whole way through, especially with the Vocals. Sold, gonna go through their entire discography!

[@Kfarm2711]

Lol what? They sound nothing like Youth Fountain.

[@CrypticlyEncrypted]

Ya’ll gotta react to dead end by life awaits

[@guilhermepereiira1224]

I love TWY and I loved this song, but yeah, the chorus is lazy.

[@jordymckibbs6613]

Please react to Palaye Royales new song 😭 it's so good

[@itcouldbelupus2842]

I think you just need to be a bit sad to really connect with the Wonder Years. Seem like old mate is just a bit too much of a happy person to get into it. I can see how it would be grating for someone who doesn't experience any catharsis through the lyrics. I don't think he got the point of the who gives a shit chorus. He's literally saying "who gives a shit", no shit it's a simple and lazy chorus.

[@imatexan3]

I got in to their album, The Greatest Generation, for a couple weeks, but I’m with Nath… never really cared for this band.

[@PieknyWojtek]

Song is pretty cool, never heard of them actually... I agree with Nath though - don't really like the emo-whiney vocals.
