Yellowcard returns with new album Paper Walls on July 17th, the follow-up to 2006’s gold-certified Lights and Sounds and their multi-platinum 2003 smash, Ocean Avenue. Drawing from both the universal, buoyant, hook-filled style of Ocean Avenue and the tougher edges of Lights and Sounds, Paper Walls takes it all a step further with an energized, anthemic and forward-looking set of songs. Paper Walls which will be available in both CD and Deluxe versions.
The Los Angeles Times recently described the album as feeling “almost like a singles collection, with singer Ryan Key’s adenoidal yearnings perfect for sorting out youth’s highs and lows” while Absolutepunk.net described it as “an album not only full of sing-a-longs but also awash with full-bodied emotion. This results in a release that leaves both the casual listener looking for a soundtrack to their summer days, and those looking for more depth in their music, immensely satisfied.”
After a stint on the 2007 Vans Warped Tour from June 29 – July 19 and headlining shows to be announced, the band will join Blue October’s on a fall tour from September 20 – November 10. Yellowcard can also be seen performing July 20th on the highly coveted AOL Sessions Under Cover; a slot which was chosen solely on votes from fans. For the lucky hometown devotees in Jacksonville, FL, the band will be making a special in-store appearance at CD Connection from 4-6pm on July 20th.
Yellowcard emerged from Jacksonville, Florida with a completely infectious and original blend of rock, punk and classical (owing to violinist Sean Mackin) that made them a sure thing to break out of the pack, but even the band could not have imagined how far.
Look for Yellowcard upcoming appearances on MTV’s Made and Cribs.
