hey, remember when i said yellowcard’s second new track off the upcoming album Southern Air, Awakening, was “just okay”? haha, yea. ignore me. after reading the lyrics, this song is suddenly way more personal. and way, way, way better. here it is again: bottoms up tonight,

love this excerpt from altpress, which i found on the interwebs [i own this issue too..] new track dropped from yellowcard today, titled Awakening. not bad. maybe not fantastic, but definitely not bad. Southern Air is set to drop on august 14th. take a listen yourself. bottoms up tonight. cheers,

fifteen [FIFTEEN!] years into their career, yellowcard still has it, and has it in SPADES. great new song Always Summer off the august 14th LP, Southern Air. previously the band had released a lyric video, but they premiered an actual music video today, and it gives me chills how much i want to be somewhere […]

WELCOME BACK TO LIFE, CAPITAL LIGHTS! this is Coldfront Heatstroke, a track from the upcoming record Rhythm N’ Moves set for a july 17th release date. this song is… pretty good. the thing with powerpop is that every song tends to sound the same, and that was kind of the case for their previous LP, […]

my boy @smackinyc, the violinist that has helped make yellowcard a household name, has been fighting thyroid cancer since the end of last year. it sounds like he’s recovering and doing better, but cancer is always a bitter fight. you can find the official statement on altpress here. if you have friends or family who […]

HEY, REMEMBER THIS?! pt. 2 i found this video after having a little chat on twitter with one of the harp and lyre guys, clay. he pointed out that FM Static’s first album and Hawk Nelson’s Letters to the President both came out 8 [EIGHT?!] years ago. freakin classic. i can’t believe i was in […]

@dividedbyfriday just dropped a video for the title track from their EP Prove It. as far as i’m concerned, divided by friday is making big steps for such a young group. solid musicianship, good writing, and confident vocals usually add up to success, and i’m hoping the best for these guys. frontman jose villanueva has […]

a brand brand new lyric video from @yellowcard, Always Summer. i’m told this is the first single from the upcoming summer album. yellowcard has always been a workhorse band, and the fact that they reunited less than a year ago and already have a full length, an acoustic version, quite a few excellent music videos, […]

the latest @altpress issue [sleeping with sirens cover] has in the last article a comment about @relientk’s “who i am hates who i’ve been“….likened to a ben gibbard-sung sum 41 track. bummer. who i am… is easily, so easily one of the best tracks in the relientk catalog. around the time of Two Lefts Don’t […]

the @gaslightanthem | 45. honestly, if you haven’t heard this…you’re missing out. definitely looking forward to the new album drop in a few weeks here. the chorus is…phenomenal.
