Message from the Band

Hello friends. As you may know, Sean O’Donnell has decided to leave Yellowcard due to personal reasons. You can read a message from him written to you all here. We are all sad to see him go, but we completely understand his need to make this incredibly difficult decision.

With that said, we are stoked to let you know who will be filling the spot at bass guitar from here out. Please welcome Josh Portman to the family. Josh has been a close friend of ours for several years and he is more than excited to start getting to know you all. Feel free to send him a message saying hello on Twitter @joshportman or via...

It looks like Yellowcard has all of its new music demoed and Ryan Key is writing lyrics. The new album is supposed to come out some time in fall.

Bassist Sean O'Donnell is parting ways with Yellowcard on friendly terms. His statement is below. We wish him the best!

Message from Sean

In April of 2010, the 5 of us met up in Los Angeles to play some music, hang out, and talk about the future of the band. I felt privileged to be invited to get to do so, and it was an amazing couple of days. Fast forward a year and a half and we’ve put out two full lengths, shot 6 music videos, and traveled to almost 30 countries. It’s been an exhilarating time for all of us in the band and some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my music career. Which is why I’m sad today to let you all know that I am leaving Yellowcard.

This is not one of those ugly...

Today I'm presenting a new feature, which I'm calling Thomas & His Package. In the feature, I'm going to be reviewing the overall quality and examining the details of physical packaging, mainly of vinyl records. It's no secret vinyl has become more and more popular lately, and one of the best parts of the medium is the bigger artwork, the inserts, and everything else about beautiful packaging. However, some releases can be bare and basic. Head here to learn more about the feature and to read my first entry, where I am evaluating the Yellowcard career box set that Hopeless Records put out at the end of last year. Leave your thoughts in the replies - did you buy this box set? Is it worth...

Yellowcard is currently back on top of this year's "most anticipated of 2012" reader poll. Have you voted yet? Brand New is No. 2. Still can't get any real news on their thoughts for this year ... but I've been told they're at least thinking of recording.

The MusInk Festival, a music and tattoo convention, will be held on March 2-4 at the OC Fair. Featured acts include Tiger Army on the first night, New Found Glory and Yellowcard on the second, and Against Me! on the final night.

All Time Low and Yellowcard appear to be headed for Warped Tour. That is, if we're to believe some back-and-forth tweets from two of the band members.
