The Wonder Years/Emergency & I (found demo split EP; 2005)
The Wonder Years/Emergency & I was a demo split EP that was released in 2005. It is the earliest known recording of The Wonder Years and the only known recording of Emergency & I.[1] This EP was self-released on homemade CD-Rs.
The only known record of this EP's existence is from a Discogs entry.[2]
Availability
Two songs from the demo, "I Fell In Love With A Ninja Master" and "Buzz Aldrin: Poster Boy For Second Place", were included on The Wonder Years' first album Get Stoked On It!. They were made again available with the addition of "Cowboy Killers" on their 2013 compilation Sleeping on Trash: A Collection of Songs Recorded 2005–2010.
The Emergency & I songs were posted on their MySpace, but are no longer playable[3] most likely because Myspace lost all the songs that were uploaded to their website prior to 2015.[4]
Sadly, Emergency & I's singer and guitarist Michael Pelone passed away in 2010 due to an overdose.[5][6]
The full split EP was uploaded to Youtube on August 25th 2020.
