Formed in 2002, The Junior Varsity began as a local band that released their first EP that same year and their debut full-length album The Great Compromise in 2004. The band gained recognition through energetic live performances, touring with notable acts like Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte, and signing with Victory Records in 2004, which led to their album Wide Eyed and appearances on the Warped Tour in 2005 and 2006. Their third album Cinematographic was released in 2007, featuring a stop-motion music video for "The Sky!" created by the Robot Chicken animation team. In October 2007, the band announced an indefinite hiatus after their farewell show in Springfield, Illinois, with Wildrick later touring with The Dear Hunter and David Cook.

I got Nick on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

Social media being awful and awesome
the band Park
What fans thought about their range in song topics
Other bands with the same name
Getting on Victory
Getting robbed on tour
The Houston Calls fools
Bayside’s accident
Touring with Panic at the Disco
Rise Against
The Robot Chicken Animators doing one of their music videos
And a ton more

Check out their latest song Guilt on the streaming apps and the re-release of Wide Eyed on Smartpunk Records on Vinyl this year.
