Yellowcard is the eponymous tenth and final studio album by American rock band Yellowcard. It was released on September 30, 2016 through Hopeless Records.[2]
Background
On February 24, 2016, Yellowcard announced that they had re-signed with Hopeless Records and had begun work on their next record. Much of the process was done by the band themselves in Ryan Key's crowdfunded The Lone Tree Recordings studio. The seventh track "Empty Street" was originally recorded as a Big If (ex bassist Sean O'Donell and frontman Ryan Key's former side project) demo in 2009. The eighth track "I'm a Wrecking Ball" was a demo originally recorded in 2008 by Key, guitarist Ryan Mendez and Jacksonville pop-punk band Inspection 12's frontman Dan McLintock.[3]
Release
The band announced the new record on June 7, 2016 on their Twitter page. The album art photo was taken by guitarist Ryan Mendez. The font used is Roboto Thin.
On June 24, 2016, the band released the record's first single, "Rest in Peace", along with an announcement that the upcoming record and accompanying world tour will be their last.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
On August 17, Yellowcard released the second song, "The Hurt Is Gone", along with its music video.
Yellowcard was released on September 30, 2016. The f.y.e. edition of the album includes acoustic versions of "What Appears" and "The Hurt Is Gone" as bonus tracks.[10]
