for over 20 years yellowcard have been lighting up stages with their unique orchestral style pop-punk music. on June 25, 2016 the band announced they would be disbanding after a farewell tour, but now, the pop-punk powerhouse is back, after healing old wounds.
"Better Days is Yellowcard’s testimony that healing is a process, growth is nonlinear, and sometimes the best chapter opens after the supposed ending. This isn’t just a return. It’s a reckoning. And this time, Yellowcard is ready."
better Days will release on October 1st, with two of the ten tracks already available, you have time to get yourself hyped. "better days" is the single my little pop-punk heart has been yearning for these past nine years, with the skill, energy and passion of their previous works, you will not be disappointed. I was immediately taken back to my 15 year old self hearing "ocean Avenue" for the first time.
"Yellowcard meant it when they said goodbye. The lights dimmed on one of the most beloved pop-punk and alt-rock bands of the 2000s with intention and authenticity. wrapping things up with a farewell tour, Yellowcard exited the “right” way, with grace, appreciation, and finality. But the story wasn’t complete. Legacy cracked the door. Healing blew it wide open. Riding a resurgence that saw the global Ocean Avenue 20th anniversary tour featured in Forbes and a reconciliation that put all four members at peace with their legacy and each other, Yellowcard just made the most ambitious and emotionally resonant record of their career. Better Days, the band’s first album in nearly a decade, was produced by blink-182’s Travis Barker, who also played drums on every track."
Yellowcard has an impressive discography,
spanning over twenty years; "where we stand" (1999), "one for the kids" (2001), "Ocean Avenue" (2003), "Lights and Sounds" (2006), "Paper Walls" (2007), "When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes" (2011), "Southern Air" (2012), "Lift a Sail" (2014), "Yellowcard" (2016) and ep "Childhood Eyes" (2023).
