Yellowcard - Better Days (October 10, 2025) • Page 3

Possibly. I can’t recall. But that would make sense since I’m sure he talked about that album with Travis.

will do. Haha They use Spotify listens to help pick songs for their set lists. So, if you really want a song played, put it on repeat haha

 

Yup haha

 

For what it's worth, Travis used both terms during his Toby Morse interview featuring Liquid Death.

 

Thought that interview featured Athletic Greens and a cryo plunge?

 

I saw Nick Long on the writing credits and was curious how involved he was yesterday. I almost asked in the band thread, but decided not to. And I have my answer now haha he is how they connected with Travis.

The band was toying with doing an album still and WRK told the band he writes EDM now, not rock songs, so he was honest to say he might need help. Mendez played with Nick Long in a band called Staring Back back in the day. Yellowcard even played a show with them before WRK joined. Mendez brings in Nick and they set up some time to write together. Apparently, Nick told Travis about it and he wanted to be in their session. After two days and two songs done, Travis said he wanted to do a full album with them and it just went from there.

WRK knew they couldn’t do another Ocean Avenue as they weren’t 23 anymore, but when Travis freaking Barker is feeling it and wants to do an album with you, you feel 23 again haha

Sounds like there are a lot of songs that didn’t make the record as this is the most songs they’ve written for an album. Didn’t mention any details on if any of the cut songs would ever appear, but I think makes a deluxe more likely.

 

nice tidbit: at the very beginning, @williamryankey bravely commits and holds his hand out for almost a full :10 seconds waiting for the server to hand him his cocktail.

0:39 - 0:48

 

A good day to break out this under the radar album:

 

Why are you two calling the wine a cocktail what is going on

 

It’s not untitled. It’s called blink-182.

 

Pretty sure they said that’s their tour manager haha

 

*cringe*

 

It’s not self-titled either, mind you.

 

One of their top 3 deep cuts mentioned

 

I run the Gifts and Curses and Bombers fan club

 

"Gifts and Curses" is so good. They probably thought, "We fucking nailed it; no way this isn't going to be the main end credits theme for Spider-Man 2." And then Chris Carrabba writes fucking "Vindicated." Tough break.

 

Both songs rip, Honestly I being the slightly better of the two

Backed, Bombers is legit one of my favorite Yellowcard songs and so is Gifts and Curses

 

Gifts and Curses needs to come to streaming.

 

Man guys I’m fricken stoked on Honestly I… can’t wait to hear more of what Travis brings.

 

These songs are such classic YC, I'm so happy with them

 

I think about this every single day.
