Yellowcard is riding the biggest wave of their nearly three decade career following the October 2025 release of their Travis Barker produced eleventh studio album Better Days on Better Noise Music. The Jacksonville Florida pop punk icons made history when lead single "Better Days" became their first ever Billboard Alternative Airplay number one, setting a record for the longest gap between a band's chart debut and first chart topper at 22 years. Featuring collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, the album arrives as frontman Ryan Key, violinist Sean Mackin, guitarist Ryan Mendez and bassist Josh Portman deliver their most emotionally resonant and commercially successful music since their platinum certified 2003 breakthrough Ocean Avenue. With over 4 million albums sold worldwide, 1 billion streams, nearly 4 million monthly Spotify listeners and a touring schedule that includes co headlining the 36 city Maximum Fun Tour with A Day To Remember plus the 2025 When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas, Yellowcard proves that the violin driven alternative rock band synonymous with 2000s Warped Tour anthems like "Ocean Avenue," "Only One" and "Lights and Sounds" is more vital and bookable than ever.
