Yellowcard on tour with Motion City Soundtrack and Plain White Ts in Australia is such a strange sentence to write in 2024.
Much as I loved where they were going on self-titled stylistically, Paper Walls was probably my favorite era of Yellowcard and I'm so stoked their new stuff is evolving that sound.
I still heard some self titled vibes on the recent EP even if it was sprinkled in with some of that pre Lift A Saul classic sound. Though the good thing about a full length is the more songs there are, the likelier there’s going to be a diverse range of sounds. Basically
10 to 13 track band. Question is...are you a fan of the 10s - YC, SA, WYTTSY OR the 13s - OA, L&S (14 kinda), PW, LAS
13s, easily. I feel like they take a lot of pride in not only their sequencing but the story they are telling throughout the records, and 13 songs gives them more room to complete that process. The Maine also does this very well with incredible sequencing, storytelling and gap tracks/interludes that make the album feel more like a work of art than a collection of songs.
