The Wonder Years - Sister Cities (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 189

Love to get C&Ds from bulldog record labels.

 

Might be the most litigious music executive I know. (Note: truth is an absolute defense to defamation).

 

I live in Belfast and the venue is a lovely old music hall! Ironically I am going to Dublin show because I won't be here for the Belfast show.

 

So according to a friend who was there tonight the books have cleared UK customs.

 

As in they're now for sale at shows? Or is this just for preorders?

 

was any kind of anything about safety said on stage tonight?

 

Don't know, the band don't actually *have* the shipment yet but they should for either Manchester or Glasgow is my guess.

 

Those gotta be some real heavy ass boxes NOBODY wants to deal with. Just a single book is pretty heavy. Imagine lugging around cases of those on tour YIKES!

 

People are saying Dan couldn’t make it through the first verse of Raining In Kyoto because he was crying :( I know that feeling

I’ve recently had an experience with a family member that is causing this album to resonate even harder than it already did. It’s eerie how every TWY album seems to soundtrack some type of tragedy for me. I can’t thank this band enough for the music they’ve made and the peace of mind they’ve given me even at my lowest of lows.

 

I enjoy a few songs on here, but overall didn’t get into it.

 

roughly 22k sold according to HDD, which is the same as what NCTH did in its first week

 

Honestly, that is fantastic for them. I was expecting a drop off, and this feels like an era for them where they could play with bands they normally don't and can get a lot of new fans.

 

Hope you don’t mind me asking but did they have the passport book for sale? Im seeing them tonight in Glasgow and I’m flying to Ireland on Monday so would be cool to get one before I leave, haha

 

that I don’t remember, i’m Afraid!

 

They didn't last night in Manchester. They had about 4 shirts, a baseball cap (possibly a beanie too), a jumper and a hoody, then some badges and the cd and vinyl. I asked about the photobook and the merch guy said they won't be bringing them on tour cause of the weight.

 

Thanks for that. That’s cool, I thought they might have the passport books since they’re small and a very cool idea for merch. IMO anyway. Haha.

 

No worries. Can’t wait for tonight. Looking forward to them playing the acoustic and electric set tonight.

 

Felt like there was a quite large elephant in the room last night regarding the two sets. Majority of people there had no idea why Sorority Noise has dropped off the tour, no mention of it made, and an impression that the band were doing it to treat the crowd.

Otherwise, incredible. Almost otherworldly experience during a lot of songs. Seeing Dan break up over Kyoto was tough mind.

 

HITS Daily Double

unofficial #18, 22k sold

 

I’m shocked Underoath did better, although maybe I’m biased.

 

I’m surprised underoath didn’t sell more

 

Seeing xxx and Famous Dex so high makes me sick

 

i mean the underoath album sucks but they're undeniably a much bigger band in every single way

 

They were only slightly higher though

 

they should've made a better album!
