Yellowcard
About Yellowcard
The Florida band Yellowcard have gathered a devoted fan following with their well-crafted songs. A Yellowcard tune can be humorous one minute, poignantly mature the next. The other way Yellowcard distinguish themselves from their pop-punk peers is though their innovative employment of violinist Sean Mackin. Sometimes the violin comes in on the soaring choruses, other times it grooves in the crunching riffs or as a unique addition to the rhythm section. That and singer Ryan Key's nasal but melodic delivery help make the Yellowcard sound unique. Their name refers to a running joke among the band members-whenever anyone made a "party foul," they'd be refereed by soccer rules and given a yellow card. They gigged around their home state of Florida, impressing local fans and club owners but failing to receive mainstream recognition. Still, they got enough local buzz to finance the release of several independent EP's, including The Underdog EP on Florida's well-respected Fueled By Ramen Records (founded by members of influential punk bands Less Than Jake and Fallout Boy.) Their big mainstream break came after they moved to sunny California and signed with Capital Records in 2003. The resulting full-length album, Ocean Avenue, was full of sincere tunes and lyrical stories. The opening track, "Way Away," was also the album's first single and began getting the band serious momentum on national rock radio and MTV. After a well-received national tour and several lineup changes, Yellowcard returned to the studio to record their sophomore effort Lights and Sounds. The result was something of a concept album for Yellowcard and the darker, scathing tracks see the band tiring and turning against their adopted home of Los Angeles.
