Yellowcard Band • Page 306

What a beautiful EP. I’m happy this band is back and releasing some of their best material. I really hope we get a tour supporting this album next year. The OA tour isn’t coming to Portland and I’d absolutely kill to hear this thing live.

 

That was a great first listen! 5 more songs please!

 

Honest from the Jump is truly the perfect encapsulation of Yellowcard up to now.

 

Adulthood Eyes should be part 2 of this EP. 5 more songs.

 

Already loving this and I’m not even done with track one!

 

Also it wouldn’t shock me if next year YC tours with Dashboard and/or Pierce the Veil

 

Holy shit. They brought us back to the Paper Walls era. F*cking love this. This EP is epic.

Edit: I mean... The AUDACITY.

 

Yellowcard and Dashboard is a dream summer tour

 

Man, I love the way the guitars sound on this EP. They are huge and chunky, but they honestly don't have that much gain and have a ton of clarity. If Mendez ever pops back in here, I'd love a rig rundown. haha.

 

Honest From The Jump fucks

 

They are the exact same tones from Lift a Sail. We used our Kemper profilers and those tones were modeled and saved when we made that record. They are the same tones we use love as well.

 

“Three minutes more might just save me this time” is such a brilliant line. Know it’s a theme that’s been covered a bit in self-titled but damn it hits hard.

This song is HUGE!!!! The amount of ground it covers with tempo, riffs, melody/harmony, etc. is insane. Everyone in the band (including Nate) is absolutely on fire in that song.

 

Stoked you dig it! 100% of the tones on the EP came out of our Kempers. I’ll come back soon and give a detailed rundown of what the profiles are but as William said, they’re the tones we created for Lift a Sail and that we use live with exception of Childhood Eyes.

Really happy with how everyone is receiving the EP so far, a LOT went into it and it’s really awesome to have it out in the world now.

 

Finally had a chance to hear the whole EP. It, of course, rules! Gets me even more excited to see them tomorrow night. What an incredible come back release. Firing on all cylinders.

 

This EP is classic Yellowcard. I’m not sure if they’ll play anything else off of it aside from Childhood Eyes at the anniversary show tomorrow but I’d love to see them perform Hiding in the Light. Stoked regardless.

 

I’ve had the biggest dumb smile on all day. The amount of chills inducing moments on this 5 song ep is incredible. The whole band shines. Incredible production, crunchy guitars, and soaring choruses. What a treat. I do hope there’s more on the way.

 

Three Minutes More in the #2 slot in Spotify’s New Rock playlist. You love to see it.

 

Just had a 2.5 hour drive to visit family. Had this on repeat almost the whole time.

Here’s my hot take: Honest From The Jump is one of the best songs this band has ever done.

 

Honest from the Jump is so sick.

 

@williamryankey Any clarification on what's going on in the background vocals for Places We'll Go chorus? Distorted whispers? Soft screams?

 

I can't stop listening to it! There have been some bangers over the years, but this is my favorite YC song since Martin Sheen or JFK.

 

Martin Sheen or JFK is one of my favorite deep-ish cuts, such a jam



HERE IT IS

 

Honest From The Jump is shaping up to be my favorite, and already an all time favorite out of their entire discography.

So glad to hear about the reuse of the Lift A Sail guitar tone. Always thought the guitars sounded absolutely massive on that record and the following too.

 

Damn. This EP fucks. Hiding in the Light is so damn catchy. The production is absolutely stellar.

 

@williamryankey

chris does this whisper type singing, he can do it because his range is so high. Just my take. Ryan could probably explain it better
