Yellowcard is breath of unique air which is not geared tward a TRL screaming teen. However if you're still interested in punk, pop punk, melodic music with guitars, or anything within close to that genre it would behoove you to go out and get acquainted with a wonderful band called Yellowcard. The five guy unit from Florida consists of two guitars, a bass, drums, and a violin. They have a wonderful live sound which includes harmonies and you may find yourself singing along, even if you don't know the words, just because of their show is incredibly energetic and audience focused.
For a few years now Yellowcard has worked hard to gain a loving fan base that is strong. They tour the clubs of America at night and the high schools by afternoon, often playing two shows a day. On top of this they released an album in 2001 (One for the kids), the "Underdog EP" in 2002, and have finished recording "Ocean Avenue" their second "big" album which is due out sometime soon. This could be a problem seeing as I am nowhere near tired of the last two albums.
Some of my favorite Yellowcard songs are Rough Draft, Big Apple Heart Break, Drifting and Powder. Of course I suggest that if you have a friend, child, invisible dog that's into this sort of music that you purchase "one for the kids" for them and look for Yellowcard to continue making great music to enjoy in years to come.

About five years ago, a friend from Florida sent me ten copies of his friends' band cds.
Somewhere in my closet are ten copies of the Yellowcard demo.

Well Michele, that may be before they retooled. Around 2000 they had a few band members switch out because they didnt want to commit to the band. Afterwards their sound changed a bunch.

Yellowcard just came out with a new C.D. call "Ocean Avenue" which i truly believe is their best work yet. They have such a unique sound that there is no way to pigeonhole them. They are their own band. The melodys and the way the violin is incorporated into the songs in awesome. The lyrics have really matured and every song sounds different making it hard for you to get tired of the album.

5 - Bat Boy
Megan, the girls name is Brittany Nash.
I agree with Jenny too, Ocean Avenue is a wonderful album. I listen to it every day. I especial enjoy the title song.

Hi, my name is Paige. I live in Jacksonville, Florida, and i am a sophomore at the highschool in which Yellowcard graduated from. Im proud to be able to say i go to their highschool.
I was just wondering if they remember us, and if they would ever mention us in their "thankyou's".

yEllowCard has to be one of THE best bands ive heard in a while..! They're sound is very unique..and just about anybody can relate to their songs.Yellowcard is def. going places..
9 - Bat Boy
Its unfair to even insinuate that this band has not "gone places" already. Their journey to the point they are now was long and hard, you should congratulate them on being one of the incredibly few who hear their songs on the radio.

Yellowcard is an awesome band. I just purchased their CD, it is one of the best I've heard in a while. I can actually say that I liked every song on the disk. I think that Yellowcard can be classified - I would put them into the "real music category". The music is put together and mixed very well, and I believe that the words to these songs actually happened to them, unlike some of the bands out there that just write songs whenever they need to be written. Good songwriters write whenever they feel inspiration, not when they need a new tune.

Hey Ya'll! So You like Brittany Nash huh? We're close friends of hers, we came on here to see how funny it was that she was on the internet and find it hillarious that she has an actual fan basis! If you guys want to check her out she was also a model for gap and was in an issue of 'seventeen.' If you are the guy who wants to marry her maybe we can get some real photos of her for you. lol
