The Wonder Years have hit the studio with producer Steve Evetts to record their first full length for Hopeless Records. Evetts was previously reponsible for a variety of material from bands like Saves The Day, Lifetime and Every Time I Die. The band commented on this:

Steve Evetts is a legend in our eyes. The man has produced some of the greatest pop punk and hardcore releases of all time. He has the ability to make anything from Saves the Day to Every Time I Die sound good. I trust his judgment, I think he's going to help push us to make a better record than we could ever thought possible and honestly, I just want to bother him with questions about what it was like to record Through Being Cool.

The band is aiming for a summer release, coinciding with their Warped Tour run and shortly after they wrap up the Kerrang Relentless Energy Tour with Good Charlotte, Four Year Strong and Framing Hanley this spring. They issued The Upsides in 2010.
