Hello people, welcome to the when in Yorkshire podcast, I hope you’re all very well. This is episode sixty nine which was recorded at Slam Dunk North 2024 in Temple Newsam and features 2 of the nicest guys I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to. Both Joe and Dan have been guests individually and as not only were both of their bands playing Slam Dunk but, Beauty School had just dropped Reaper featuring Dan, I thought it would be rude not to have a chat with them.

Quick disclaimer - as with all festival recordings there is substantial amount of background noise but we managed to have a great conversation covering their experience of touring together, the long relationship between Slam Dunk and The Wonder Years, Dan’s views on his role as self proclaimed elder statesman within the industry and of course how the collaboration came to be.

Both bands delivered great sets at Slam Dunk North with The Wonder Years headlining the Key Club Stage and Joe made a sneaky appearance on the last song. I’ve enjoyed every Beauty School show but they have taken it up a level since the last time I saw them, and that is evident from the crowd reaction, even in the rain Leeds was having a great time. That being said Pawn Shop Jewels and Take It Slow could still do with some live maracas- and I am available.

Before we get into the episode, both bands are on tour in the last part of the year in their respective countries - Beauty School are hitting the road with fellow Yorkshire rocker Jetski doing 7 consecutive day starting on 28th October at Frog and fiddle in Cheltenham then on to the Price Albert in Brighton, Signature Brew in London, Star and Garter in Manchester, EBGBs in Liverpool, The Key Club in Leeds and ending at Play Brew in Middlesbrough on 3rd November. The Wonder Years are going to be smashing America with The Menzingers with many dates in many places starting on October 3rd at the State Theatre in Portland Maine and ending on October 24th at Revolution Hall in Portland Oregon. U.K. fans don’t despair, they will be back at the start of 2025 with Neck Deep and One Step Closer.
