Yellowcard - Better Days - Blue - CASSETTES

Yellow Cassette. Yellowcard returns with Better Days, their first full-length album since reuniting, produced and fully drummed by Travis Barker. Known for their distinctive mix of punchy pop-punk and melodic violin, the band rose to prominence with the multi-platinum Ocean Avenue and continued to evolve with acclaimed releases like Lights and Sounds and Paper Walls. Better Days stands out as some of their most compelling work-tight, energetic, and emotionally resonant. With standout features from Avril Lavigne and Alkaline Trio, the album feels both grounded in Yellowcard's legacy and refreshed by new voices. It's a sharp, fully realized record that shows the band not just returning, but delivering at their highest level. The album is available on vinyl, CD and Cassette

Benjamin Appl met Hungarian composer Gyorgy Kurtag in 2019 and has worked with him ever since. 'He has shaped me both as a musician and as a human being, perhaps more than anyone else,' says Appl. This album alternates Romantic German lieder by Schubert and Brahms with vocal pieces by Kurtag, five of which are world premiere recordings. Kurtag himself is at the piano for two of the songs by Schubert and Brahms; while the German baritone's old and trusted friends Pierre-Laurent Aimard and James Baillieu join him for the other works in this programme, all under the artistic direction of Kurtag, ending with a fascinating recorded interview with Gyuri bacsi ('Uncle George') by Benjamin Appl, who tells us 'My aim in this album is to give listeners a glimpse into the infinite universe of Gyorgy Kurtag, a shy procrastinator, stern self-critic, hesitant researcher, introverted questioner, unpretentious intellectual, brilliant composer and an extraordinary human being.'

2016 , the 10th and final studio album from the pop punk band. After nearly 20 years as a band, Yellowcard is returning to Hopeless Records for their final full length album. The band self-produced the effort. Much of the process was done by the band themselves in Ryan Key's crowd-funded The Lone Tree Recordings studio. The album art photo was taken by guitarist Ryan Mendez. This self-titled album includes the singles InchRest in PeaceInch and InchThe Hurt Is GoneInch. Yellowcard formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1997 and have been based in Los Angeles since 2000. The group's music is distinctive within the band's genre because it features the prominent use of a violin.
