Hey guys...so this time was Sean who gave us a sign that they're alive :)

July 21, 2009.

Not dead,
Hi y'all. Just writing to say hello, i know it has been a long time since we have done that. We are out here in Georgia, furiously writing away at what will be our first record. Just finished three new demos today, and i must say they sound quite mighty. Thanks for being faithful and continuing to check the site even when we aren't posting new stuff all the time. We will try and be better about that. Be excellent to one another, and we will talk soon.

BIG IF ALBUM

2009-05-26T20:45:00.000-03:00

So, Ryan decided to give us some info about BIG IF's album!!!

may 26, 2009 - tuesday

Update

Hello there my friends. I know it has been forever since we have put something new up on the site and I know we have not been answering everyone's messages. I wanted to give you an update in hopes that we will be forgiven. Originally Sean and I hoped we would be making a record this summer so we could be out touring before the year ends. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that is in the cards right now. The last few months have been kind of hectic being on seperate sides of the country, but starting this week Sean will be staying in Georgia with me for the summer so we can really dig in and write the record. We are still setting the goal to record an album before the year is over and feel confident that we will. We have debated over whether or not to take down the site and relaunch when we are actually ready to get out and play and give you a full record of music but I don't think we need to do all that. I just ask that everyone hang in there if the site is dormant for a while. It could be that we launched it a bit too early but I promise when we are fully up and running we will flood the site with music and video and message replies. The fact that we already have so many people supporting us despite the fact that we have never even played a note live is just amazing and we hope you guys understand. As soon as we have news you will be the first to know. Thanks.

Paper Walls

2008-07-17T15:01:00.001-03:00

July 17th, how this date was waited for we all fans of Yellowcard 1 year ago. It was the day which the new album would come to the stores and finally we would be able to listen to the songs the guys worked so hard.

And it doesn't seem like it has been 1 year, don't you think so? The time goes by so fast [elderly people talking ON] xD

Even tough it's the best album in the opinion of most part of the fans, and it really is a CD to listen forever, Paper Walls didn't reach what we had imagine since the release. The label released only one single, Light Up The Sky, which had its video and also was included in marketing campaigns, for example for the series Heroes new season. However the song didn't reach hit paredes.
Everybody beted that a second single, maybe for Keeper, would make the album be a great sucess, that didn't happen. Recently the band annouced a hiatus and probably Paper Walls will be not "used" anymore.

However it's an exceptional album!
The collection of songs was chosen veryyy well, with a mix of rocking guitars, touching lyrics and the best of Yellowcard: its unique and catching energy.
Besides the artwork developed to the CD, super creative wich is by the way theme of our beautiful site. ;)

Congratulations Paper Walls, let's listen to it a lot today sipping a cold Coke! ;)

Oh, don't you forget that there's a special place to it here in our website! It's the Paper Walls Hotsite!
There, you can find more details about the recording process, meaning of the songs, Ryan, Sean, LP, Pete and Mendez opinions besides the page where you can show you also own this wonderful CD!
Go there and have fun!

Xoxo and see you soon ;)

Anniversary of... videos! :D

2008-07-15T21:39:00.001-03:00

July is the anniversary of two videos of the band.
The one that some people consider the first video, but actually it isn't,

Way Away (2003)...

and the last one, Light Up The Sky (2007),

Watching them we notice how things can change in 4 years. xD

Imagine in 50 years. ._.

But... coming to think of it you don't have to imagine! :D
We can show you!

Check the video sent directly from the future!! ;D

Congratulations for us!

2008-07-07T13:41:00.000-03:00

Hello friends, fans and curious people!
How are you doing?
I hope it's ok! :)

Today is very special for us, the team.
Actually it's special for everybody, but it's specially special for the team because this date marks part of our lives.

Today our beloved site completes 1 year online. 1 year of dedication, hard work and mainly joy for sharing with you guys something that brings us a great happiness. We've been here for 1 year, almost daily, sharing everything we know and everything we can find about this band that is part of our lives.

Today, this text is to congratulate all those who have helped us with the site, my collegues of work (guys, you rock! ;D) and you all, who make this site happen, sending the comments, doubts and suggestions. Without you, our effort wouldn't worth and it would't make sense.

So I'm here saying THANK YOU VERY MUCH for making our dream happen and CONGRATULATIONS for all of us, team, fan-club members and users, for the first year of many anniversaries that will come of our "baby".

And that we'll be able to see Ryan and the guys and the songs that don't get out of our minds again soon. Congratulations team, congratulations fan-club, congratulations everybody.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you....

Yellowcard or just Ryan on a new movie?

2008-06-16T14:05:00.000-03:00

I can't answer this question. :)

Two sources we found say different things. :S

The first news comes from the brazilian site CineClick.

Let me light up something: when you read "...with one of the american porn actresses, Jenna Jamson" and have an attack yelling "Yellowcard or Ryan (lol) on a movie like this?! :O

Calm down. :)

Jenna Jameson left the porn films to become a normal actress...lol
I say this because I watch E! and I'm not a fan of this kind of movie (I had to say that in case there was some doubts). :)

Returning to the news...
This site says that the band will have a participation on the movie.
The site IMDB is saying that just Ryan will participate, being himself on the movie.

We don't know which is right.

Anyway, we'll let you know if we get any new! :D

Happy Birthday Pete! =)

Ocean Avenue Live

2008-05-25T09:24:00.001-03:00

Yay, finally it was published a video from the last Yellowcard show at Indianopolis Motor Speedway.

Besides the song Ocean Avenue (with the noise of cars in the background), at the end of the video there are some moments where Ryan is talking to the crowd and he's having some problems with the microphone.

Paint The Town Yellow

2008-05-23T18:08:00.000-03:00

A big Yellowcard fan, Meggles, has posted on the official forum a project that's really cool, elaborated by her called ""Project Paint The Town Yellow: One For The Band".

Basically the objective is do not let the people forget the band and show everybody that Yellowcard fans are the best in the world and will be there always supporting them. And also do a tribute for all these years of success, after all Yellowcard is somehow part of each one who's reading this.

It's a great project, completely made by fans, including audios of your opinion about the indefinite hiatus, videos of you telling your story, several montages, website for the project, etc.

"Where We Stand" Reunion Show

2008-05-20T11:01:00.000-03:00

This is how it was named the show that will happen on next May 24 in Jacksonville, Florida. Just featuring the original members of Yellowcard.
As it was said by Ben Harper, they're gonna play old songs, from 1999 or so!
If you're going to go, you'll have the chance of seeing Warren, Ben H, Todd, LP and Ben together.
Definitely reliving the past. :)

"What about Ryan Key and Sean?"
You guys ask...

Mendez said on the Capitol message board that they won't be there. :S

We can understand Ryan's reasons, but... and Seans? ._.

Anyway...
For those who are going to the show... Please take pictures and film anything and after send us! :))))

Japanese store / Promotion

2008-05-16T12:15:00.000-03:00

I don't remember if we've already talked about that, whatever...

Yuri, a brazilian fan living in Ishikawa, Japan, sent us a curiosity.

There's a store named Rock1 there, that sells official materials of various artists including our beloved Yellowcard.

There's just one item on the store and it's on promotion: the T-shirt of "Words/Hands/Hearts".
Remember that? Noooo? Look at it then:

It's sooo beautiful! @_@

It cost 3000 ienes (US$29,11 - a bit expensive, isn't it?) and now is 2000 ienes (US$ 19,40) without freight). it's available on the sizes S, M and L. Besides who buys it will gain 20 (US$0,19 - only this?) on credit.

The best option to the no-japanese fans (price+freight), if you want to buy this T-shirt, it's using Cinder Block, partner of Rock1 and official store of Yellowcard on US.
There, it costs 16 bucks, but it's only available on sizes L and XL.

Interview with Sean

2008-05-12T19:25:00.000-03:00

There's a new (and long) interview with Sean!!

Among several questions, we selected the more importants:

So after this tour, are you going to be going out on another tour in the near future?

Right now we’re kind of labeling it like as an indefinite… We’re kind of having a break for a little bit. We’ve been touring for a long time and we don’t know what’s going on with the record label. I think Ryan’s going to move back east, so we’re all just going to take a little bit of a break.

Paper Walls came out last summer. I loved it. I thought it was one of the best records from last year and it should have been huge, but it didn’t really go anywhere. Why do you think that is?

(Laughs.) I don’t know. They’re all theories really. Part of it’s right place, right time. Part of it’s songs. Part of it’s other bands and their songs and whatever. I mean you look at who’s out there and there is musical talent involved, but it’s not like when you’re racing cars or when you’re playing basketball. At the end of the game, there’s a score. This is the better team or the better person or whatever. In music, it’s all subjective. Last year Paramore was fantastic. That girl can sing lights out, they’re young kids and they’re nice guys. I can’t say like we sing better than them or our song is better. It’s all subjective. The powers that be, or the mob and the masses, didn’t take to us as many people took to other artists.

(...)

22.

22, so you’re still maybe in touch with some of those people. But, you know, I’m 28. I’ll be 29 in like 10 days, so 13 years later. Even Ben Harper, who was my oldest friend – my brother and him played soccer – somewhere in the game of life he took a right when I took a left. That’s just kind of what happens.

That's the end of Paper Walls tour

2008-05-10T13:59:00.000-03:00

It's going to happen today at Indianopolis Motor Speedway, Indiana, the last show of the Paper Walls tour.
According to site of the event it's scheduled an 1-hour Yellowcard performace on Coca-Cola Zero stage. The show will start at 5pm (brazilian time).

For more information, access:
http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/
http://www.indycar.com/multimedia/radio/

It's really sad to know about the end of this tour. Even more because they didn't came here to Brazil. But as its said, brazilian people never give up, so we'll keep on waiting for a return soon.

New non-official forum

2008-05-04T12:19:00.003-03:00

That's for those who love to join discussions and talk with fans.
Josh, an Yellowcard fan, had the idea of creating a new space to preserve the Underdogs group. After all, the actual forum that belongs to Capitol can disappear anytime, because of all the change that the label and the artists are going through, mainly Yellowcard that announced recently a hiatus.

Back to the forum, the layout is awesome guys! A mix of Paper Walls with the "beach" style of Ocean Avenue. Soooo well made, I loved it! It's just starting, the webdesigner is still fixing some errors, people are starting to register and participate... But it worths to join and see what will happen!

Interview with Ryan Key about the hiatus

2008-04-27T10:34:00.001-03:00

Exclusive interview with the Yellowcard lead singer Ryan Key.
Zach Fraser.
Date: 04/25/2008 | Section: Arts & Entertainment
Source: Mindy Tucker

Zach Fraser: I know you guys are from Jacksonville and you moved to California and obviously you're in Tampa, so I have to ask. What is it California or Florida?

Ryan Key: Weird, it's kind of like, changing as I get older. Florida now, but we moved to California for a lot of reasons. I mean our first record deal we signed was with a really small label company in Santa Barbara, CA. The guy that owned the label was the guy that worked there. So we sort of felt like we were working pretty hands on, you know, when it comes to the work and the band. So we felt like we should be there and help. Long story short, I also made some friends with a bunch of guys that live in that area while I was in another band in California, which was my second trip out with a band. So, Yellowcard was actually my second band. So, that's kind of why we went out there and then it ended up working out. So we stayed, you know what I mean. So, I kind of enjoyed going home to see my family and kicking back a little bit in Florida.

ZF: I saw you guys in Warped Tour in Georgia this summer and obviously Warped Tour is a big arena. How does it feel to be able to play smaller venues and get back with your fans?

RK: I mean its amazing, dude. You know it's funny. I feel like I would be lying if I said we chose to go play small venues, because we are not selling as much tickets as we used to sell. But in a way that affords me the opportunity to get back to that intimacy which is honestly a very nice, unexpected thing about selling less tickets, you kind of forget what that's like but it is kind of amazing to get back to it. And then combine it with doing it in an acoustic setting. It has really been one of, if not the best tours I have ever been on. I mean we had so much fun. You really just get to hang out with people on the show and on stage. It doesn't have to be quite as structured as far as the songs go on one after the other and how one song goes into another song. It's a little more free. I think the fans have really responded well to it and I'm glad we did it.

ZF: How does it feel to be able to watch, Spill Canvas, Play Radio Play, those are some up and coming bands, if not the best?

RK: I mean obviously Spill Canvas, they're really doing well. I think they are about to go on the proverbial run to the top. I mean, the single they are going to put out next, is just amazing. They are just so talented for how young they are. It's cool they are from South Dakota. Like, who is from South Dakota?

ZF: As this tour is wrapping up, what are your plans for the rest of the year?

RK: You know, you are the first person that has ever asked that in an interview. That's kind of weird. I have to finally answer it. We really don't have any plans. We are calling it an "Indefinite Hiatus." After this tour, so, I don't know. It could be a year, 10 years, or 6 months. It's been an interesting time in this business and our record label. It's just. We kind of need a break. I think it appears everything is ok on its surface but we definitely need a little bit of time to figure out our personal lives. It doesn't have anything to do with turmoil in the band. It's more of a, facing adulthood now, and we can't stay in Neverland forever. You know what I mean. I think we just need a break. Hopefully we will get back to making another record sometime, if not it may be our last but we don't really know. We're just keeping the door open.

ZF: So how's it been, a lot of kids listen to the music and they look at you guys. How's does it feel to be that guy that, to be able to live the dream that most people want?

RK: I mean it's amazing dude. I set out to do this and I kind of told myself that there is no way that I was going to stop. There was nobody that was going to tell me that we couldn't do it at the level that we have done it. Having that mentality is the way you do it is when one day you just wake up and realize your there. I mean, I really think this tour has been one of the most influential times of my life in the band. Even though it is sort of the last tour for a long time. Just playing the songs that we have, stripped down, proves to you what a lot of your work is worth to people. You really get to see that you do kind of move people in a way. It's a good feeling. I'm really grateful for everything that we have done. Mistakes and triumphs, I don't have any regrets, I have learned from every single thing we have done the whole way. We have been touring now for eight years now without a break. We stopped to make a record and that's about it. So we learned a lot along the way. You know, I think we have helped a lot of people and changed a lot of people's lives in a good way. That's the stuff you take with you.

ZF: We mentioned Spill Canvas earlier and you think they're about to blow up. So what kind of bands are you listening to now a days?

RK: I don't really listen to, music in the scene, so to speak. I have been listening to a lot of country music, but not like the music they play on the radio. Like Ryan Adams, Ryan Adams with an "R." Yeah, People are always like "really you listen to Bryan Adams." No, Ryan Adams. I always enjoyed that style. I grew up listening to, not listening to, but growing up in that southern style a lot of Jimmy Buffet a lot of Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson. My grandpa is a huge Willie Nelson fan. So I was always around that style of music but it wasn't until a couple or years ago that I really discovered it for myself. So I have been diving way back in the Ryan Adams catalog, the old Whisky 500s, all that stuff. I am also into to another country artist named Gillian Welch, she does like really old 20s and 30s, kind a real front porch bang your foot on the floor country music. I love it. After the new Foo Fighters album came out, that was probably the last really big rock record that I really got obsessed with. But the new Weezer record is coming on June 24 and I am sure I will be the first in line to pick that up. I think Ben Folds is working on a record that should come out some point this year. I'm excited for that. He's like my all time favorite song writer and I have never seen him live. I talked to him on the phone once for about two hours for an interview, but I have never met him in person or see him play. Some day I hope. Hopefully when we take some time off I'll be able see his shows.

ZF: You mentioned indefinite hiatus, eight years touring, is there any city in particular you'll look back on and say. "Wow, that was a bunch of great choices to go play."

RK: Yeah for sure man, even down to specific shows and experiences, we took our first trip to South America two years ago right before we started working on Paper Walls. We had never been down there, but apparently our band is massive down there. I mean we didn't really know. We knew our shows were great, but we didn't know at what level. And in August (2006), we went and did our first tour. We went to cities in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The shows were like 5...6,000 people a night. They asked us to come back immediately to play with Fall Out Boy in the festival and 46,000 people showed up to this festival in Sao Paolo, Brazil. I mean we have played these festivals before and it feels like, ok, we are playing the festival and the kids in the front row know your music. But this was like 46,000 people coming to a Yellowcard concert. It was absolutely insane. Fall Out Boy too. As much as Fall Out Boy has blown up here over the last couple of years it was like we were back both on an even keel and co-headlining the show together. It was really awesome, so South America, out of the touring we did was probably the most breath taking experience being on stage with the sheer number of people coming to the show was just mind blowing.

ZF: What are you looking for tonight, UT 5...6,000 students? There has been a lot of buzz around campus about the first major concert. What do you expect out of it?

RK: I hope everyone likes it. I know it's not a full show and I don't want people coming out thinking that it is. It's just like a couple of weeks on the tour even, it took a couple of weeks, before it got on the internet saying, 'we didn't know it was going to be that way.' Everyone seems to enjoy it anyway. I just hope that everyone out there is going to have a good time tonight!
