Yellowcard have announced their "break up". Their new album will be self titled and you can stream a new song "Rest In Peace" below along with a message from the band and tour dates.
Headliners is a show about pop punk, growing up and never giving up, created exclusively for the web. They just launched a Kickstarter for the project and you can hear an original song from Christian McAlhaney of Anberlin below after the jump.
Headliners is a media breakthrough that combines a fictional narrative about an indie record label and the young men and women immersed in the scene surrounding it. Currently in pre-production through Tessellation, a new production team of four who grew up in the scene and know it intimately, Headliners is slated for online broadcast in the Spring of 2017.
New Found Glory and Yellowcard will be doing a co-headliner this fall with Tigers Jaw as support. You can find dates for the tour below.

Spring officially started yesterday. As the weather warms, I basically have two words on my mind: road trip.
A bunch of musicians came together and did their best to make a Xmas album that’s nowhere near as good as August Burns Red’s Sleddin Hill
According our reliable source, six bands playing VWT 2014 have been revealed. These are confirmed; no rumors here. Stage placement is unknown at this time. View the bands below!

Ten years after Yellowcard’s album, “Ocean Avenue” came out, they have redone the entire album with only acoustic instruments.
Yellowcard fans adore the newest album, “Ocean Avenue Acoustic”, and they have the right to. I’m glad to say there isn’t a single bad song on either album, acoustic or original. Given some songs are better than others, but each song is unique and a worthwhile listen.
The acoustic album has stayed true to it’s original predecessor by not changing much at all, except for the replacement of all instruments to be acoustic. Though some may find this relieving, I feel that Yellowcard has missed an opportunity to do so much more with their music. Playing acoustic is an entirely different ball game. Each instrument sounds, feel, and plays differently than their electric counterpart. I felt there was little attempt to try and redo their original album with something different and more acoustic-appropriate, examples being: chugging palm-muted power chords, and fast drum fills. Both of these things sound great on the original tracks, but I feel there are better options when playing acoustically.
Still, it’s hard to ignore how genuine each song feels and how great they are to listen to. The songs themselves are well-written and they make you want to just blast the volume and sing along, whether you know the lyrics or not. Each song feels like a life lesson and I could easily see them bringing out huge emotions to many listeners. Did I mention they have a violin player in the band? Yeah, and he shreds on the violin, too. It’s no wonder the album is so highly praised by its fanbase.
Priced at $9.99, the album is definitely a good jam, and overall it’s really written phenomenally. Although I feel it’s a missed opportunity to be something more, it doesn’t overshadow the great quality of each song, and the album as a whole. I highly recommend it to any pop punk fans looking for something new.
9/10.

Rising UK pop punk quintet Neck Deep have revealed that they have signed to Hopeless Records for a worldwide, three album deal.
Home to the likes of All Time Low, We Are The In Crowd, Yellowcard and The Wonder Years, Hopeless Records has an undeniable track record in picking up some of the most exciting and well beloved pop punk and pop rock bands in the world today.
And since Neck Deep first exploded into action with breakthrough single 'A Part Of Me' just under one year ago, their rise to the forefront of the UK scene has been seemingly unstoppable, so a pairing between the young quintet and the veteran label is - to quote Neck Deep frontman Ben Barlow - "a perfect match."
Says Barlow: "Perfect match really isn’t it; an indy label with a strong ethos and message. We feel like we haven’t signed our souls away but are taking a huge step in the right direction. We know that together this is really going to take things to the next step for us as a band; with a label like Hopeless backing you, you know you’re going to be taken care of and treated well. We couldn’t be more stoked on the whole thing, it’s perfect."
10 years ago Yellowcard released Ocean Avenue and shortly after with the album title track becoming a radio hit, Ocean Avenue became a platinum selling record and Yellowcard was launched into pop-punk stardom. Today the band returns with a re-issue of the record featuring newly arranged acoustic versions of the original album tracks. Ocean Avenue Acoustic is a collector’s piece for long-standing fans as well as an album for those fans looking to revisit 2003. You can download it on iTunes or Amazon. The band is also heading out on the road soon to promote this release and you can check out the dates and buy tickets here.
