Contents and release

edit

The album is a compilation of all of The Wonder Years recordings prior to the release of The Upsides, with the exception of Get Stoked on It!. The compilation features 18 rare tracks, demos and cover songs.[2] Vocalist Dan Campbell commented that the band "made it a priority to get music to listeners outside of [their albums]. Because of that, there are a lot of old tracks floating around from out-of-print 7 inches, CD-R demos or comps. Sleeping On Trash is a way [...] to get all of it on just one record. It’s a tangible way to own our old material without having to pay out the nose for it on eBay."[2]

On November 27, 2012 Sleeping on Trash was announced for release.[3] On February 8, 2013, the album was made available for streaming.[4] On February 12, the album was released through No Sleep.[3]
