Yellowcard releases ‘Better Days’, bands first full length album in almost a decade

After nearly a decade of waiting Yellowcard is back with their first new full length album ‘Better Days’, out now. The lead single and title track “Better Days” brought the band’s return back in a huge way, scoring them their first ever number one on alternative radio, twenty two years after their first radio appearance ending the longest wait for a first leader at the format.

This highly anticipated album is executive produced by Travis Barker who also plays drums on every song.

Barker says of the project, “Sometimes the world has a wild way of putting things into place. Neither of us had planned on working together, but once we got in the studio, the magic was undeniable. I had just finished the Blink album and was excited to dive into producing another record front to back. Working with Yellowcard was a pleasure, and seeing them land their first number one is incredible. I couldn’t be happier for them.” 

“I started the record as one version of myself and came out the other side changed,” says front man Ryan Key who credits Barker with a significant impact on his personal and creative studio breakthroughs. “I went in knowing I needed help. I came out of it writing songs like I was 19 again.”

In addition to Barker and Lavigne the album also features Matt Skiba on a forthcoming song called Love Letters Lost.
