Yellowcard Band • Page 272

I wonder how much pressure bands feel putting that first single out after a long absence. Enormous, thinking everyone's got different expectations of what it'll be like and not wanting to disappoint? Or maybe it's not stressful at all since some people are always bound to be disappointed, so fuck it.

 

attack attack did a weird first single on their comeback EP, it was more like altrock then their usual stuff and then the rest of the songs were straight metalcore bangers, it was like old AA but updated. so i dunno how it works

 

I think the latter applies more often than one might think. After a long hiatus, there are really no expectations and they aren’t tied to anything or anyone. I think that’s got to be the most freeing thing of all - they can put out whatever they friggin want.

 

I imagine best case scenario is an evolution of what they’ve done previously and still retaining what we love about them. Sounds cliche but ideal lol

 

What Appears is so good

 

So is there a chance that L. W. Parsons is back as well? I know there is/was some bad blood between them so I don't think it's a possibility but I would be happy. His drumming style was so special on all of the records he was part of.

 

As I'm about to do a discography run, I want to talk about random tracks such as Savior's Robes, which has jumped into one of my faves. It still blows my mind how they "went there", making a left turn midway through the song with the striking post-rock section. The first time I heard it, my mind was like "wait, this is still Yellowcard!?".

 

@williamryankey, what’s yours favorite piece of YC history you have and what’s one piece of YC history you’re still searching for?

 

Nate Young posted something to his Instagram
story a couple days ago of the first teaser image. Whether that means anything or not, we’ll see. But he’s been the one filling in on drums for a lot of the shows, I think

 

Not only on shows as far as I remember, he recorded drums for Lift A Sail and for the Self Titled record as well.

 

I heard somewhere the drummer for Like Torches was playing the shows this summer. Not sure how true this is though...

 

Dude yes. The bridge of that song is so sick!

 

i would not ever count on seeing LP or Ben Harper back in this band lol

 

I believe the band mentioned this somewhere recently but can’t confirm for sure. He crushed it on the last tour, hope he’s back!

 

Would love for some more Nate Young drumming for YC

 

Wonder who's going to be featured on today's post

 

Throwing some appreciation to the acoustic albums today because they're just great on these nice summer mornings before the day totally gets started.

 

With you around acoustic is so good.

 

The real question is who is going to be in the dress on the Yellowcard Trainspotting poster

 

The jam session at the end of Southern Air with the windows down on a sunny day…never, ever gets old.

 

All timer. Just a full throttle head banger for the last minute.

 

I just had Cut Me, Mick on with the windows open and that bridge to reworked half time chorus hit so good.

 

The little slide going into that final half time chorus is just perfect
