Yellowcard - Better Days LP

Breakups do not usually get undone by a festival booking, but that is basically what happened to Yellowcard. Riot Fest offered a slot marking the 20th anniversary of Ocean Avenue, the band took it, and the reunion that followed led first to 2023's Childhood Eyes EP and now to Better Days, their eleventh full-length and first since reconvening after the roughly five-year breakup that followed touring their 2016 self-titled record. Travis Barker produced and played drums throughout, working alongside Andrew Goldstein and Nick Long, and the record lands on Better Noise Music.
