Yellowcard
 

I don't do this often, but I found this really amazing punk band this week, called Yellowcard, and I just couldnt resist posting a topic about them. The best way I can describe them is a mix between Sum 41, All American Rejects, and maybe a little Dashboard. I know that most people on this board don't share the same music likes/dislikes as me, but just listen to some of their music. They're not a just get-up-and-scream-your-guts-out kind of band. I donno how to explain it, they're just AWESOME!

Just go to http://www.yellowcardrock.com/news.php and click on "Launch Yellowcard Player" which is in the upper right corner. I think you can listen to 4 of their songs. My favorite of the 4 is "Only One." It's kinda slow at the beginning but its a great song.

OH and another awesome thing about the music is the violin. One of the members of the band plays the electric violin in the songs, and he also sings backup, which is pretty cool. [/url]

Yeah, Yellowcard rocks. I love this band and have known about them for about a year now. I've only heard a few of the songs of ocean avenue. Have you heard any off of their ep or their first album "one for the kids"? Its all really good. If you like yellowcard, check out Rufio, their amazing and along the same lines (a bit more 80's rock influence). Especially their second album "1985", but their first album "perhaps, I suppose" is really good too.

Yeah, I have YC's Ocean Avenue and the Underdog EP. The EP is pretty good, but doesn't compare with the complete excellence of Ocean Avenue in my opinion. And no, I haven't anything off of One for the Kids.

I've heard "Like a Prayer" by Rufio. It's an awesome song :D . I'll see if I can find 1985 somewhere....

I've been trying to find Ocean Avenue around here, but the record stores are pretty lame. So far I've only heard three songs off it but they were all amazing.

I just bought it off of Amazon.com, it was pretty cheap, 12.99 I think.....
