I enjoy talking about this band, even though they are technically inactive.

 

Yellowcard Unveil 20th Anniversary One For The Kids Remaster, Release 'October Nights'

 

Gonna be a hard pass from me.

 

Discovered a little known band called Yellowcard with a song called October Nights on Napster. What a great discovery. Nice to see the songs revisited.

 

I was a freshman in high school and my senior crush gave me a ride home in her sweet yellow jeep after an event we worked. I was wearing an alkaline trio shirt, so she asked if I heard of YC. I said nope. Then she played Drifting and Something of Value back to back. She let me borrow her CD after that. Followed the band ever since.

 

I feel like this crosses an item on my YC wish list.

underdog EP has always sounded kind of terrible too. I wonder if they could remaster it. Also, a final version of the Big If’s…Tripple Please (which sounds so Yellowcard it should have made an album like Empty Street did) and you know the other one I would say.

 

I'll forever be underwhelmed by Sean's version of Bunny and Me that he released a number of years ago on his bandcamp. Didn't quite have that same energy from the demos.

 

Those demos are pretty awesome. They definitely kept momentum going creatively and musically for those guys.

 

Like the sound of this a lot.

 

Going to need to revisit this comment every once in a while

 

And what about the crush?

 

We had a summer romance after she graduated and as I entered sophomore year. Then it ended bc she was moving away for school and on a different timeline. We would reconnect when she visited home during college. Then I went away to college a couple years later, we talked less, then she became a lawyer, got married, and started a family. Then I graduated college, moved across country, got married, and started a family. We still keep in touch every now and then on social media.

You know….Pretty much a coming of age movie.

 

Why is that?

 

Who is involved with this? Haven’t heard a peep about it from Key, Mackin or anyone else including the bands social media accounts.

 

LP has tweeted about it and Ben is quoted in the article. Based on the latter's recent interaction with Key on here I think it’s safe to assume no one actually in the band at the end had anything to do with it..

 

That’s a bummer. The demo sounds cool but i’d prefer to support the band in full…this whole thing has some weird vibes to me.

 

This is correct.

 

Maybe it’s lead by Lobster Records. If they own the rights too it, and they may technically be operating in theirs rights to remaster and release. Which is fine. Sucks for a band and it’s members who recorded it, but if it can help out a small label maybe there’s some value in that too to try and sign the next “Yellowcard” or “Over It”.

Really it’s too bad Yellowcard wasn’t still active and members were on better terms, but so it goes.

 

Lobster is very much “dead” and is widely known to have pretty much fucked over both those bands. Just for the record.

 

I have the repress from back in 2012 and it looks like it last sold for $130 haha. Everything about vinyl right now is absurd.

 

Yellowcard and Over It also went on to bigger a better things with getting onto majors. I guess it’s good they got away from Lobster. I miss both bands, a lot. Someone has the rights to release this and has chosen to do so though. At least they put effort into remastering it for rerelease. Album is also 20 years old. There sounds like a lot of unsettled business all around so this is par for the course then. Doesn’t mean people can’t enjoy it if they want it. I’m happy to have better quality of October Nights because that song is special to me.

 

The dude that remastered it has many feelings about all that. I'm trying to be as clear as I can here without just flat out burning sources. But ... I've heard from multiple people about this pressing and have huge reservations about it.

You really are just very misguided here.
