Highly recommend seeing your favourite bands on big stages, even if it's a support slot. And they played California too.
The kid and I both put Yellowcard down on the list of bands we'd like to see play in 2026 survey, so you're welcome for that ;)
Keep hearing better days at the gym. Super rad pop punk is back in rotation on whatever modern pop playlist they’re pulling from. Pretty neat that YC is having the moment they’re having. Travis is dialed as a producer. Enjoying his releases with well established bands.
Bedroom Posters is currently at #8 https://www.pollstar.com/charts/5726/alternative/mediabase?variant=
Evergreen Terrace Abruptly Part Ways With Drummer Longineu Parsons III To Welcome Back Brad Moxey - Theprp.com Tangentially related.
Always felt for the guy, seeing him trying to earn my drumming along to pop punk songs being played over a PA in semi-filled bars was saddening given the guy is responsible for some of the best drumming of the golden era of the genre. Have listened to OA countless times and his fills still blow me away on that track. His style and drum sound really stands out (props to Neal Avron too).
Haven’t posted in a while. Lots of life going on. But, #8 holy shit. This just keeps getting better. I know there’s lots of stories about the kind of person I have been over the years. If you have the time to watch or listen to my interview with Joel on Artist Friendly please do. We get into all of that. I only bring it up to say that I am just so stoked to have another chance to do all of this at this high level. Best part of the story so far. See what I did there?
We have taken endless amounts of shit since 2013 because we’ve never shared our side of the story. Nor do we need to. But anyone notice a pattern here?
Sorry to keep this going but framing like it’s his choice after posting the email where they kicked him out just 2 days ago is pretty funny lol
LOL...you guys are such star fuckers here. Ryan posts, you pop in to kick a guy when he's down, and you all run to the keyboard and smash that like button till your fingers bleed.' Fact: LP3 is one of the best drummers on the planet and Yellowcard hasn't been the same since he left/was fired....whatever. Fact: Ryan is right, there has been a LOT written about him over the years and what kind of person he is, or was, from not just journalists but people in the genre. If we're talking about patterns here.....I guess I'll be the only one to point that one out. When a lot of musicians say the same things about the same guy....you pop in to kick a guy when he's down. I'm going through the discography on my work commute this week and still love the band. Southern Air & WYTTSY are all-timers.
Don't send me insane shit like this in private messages and in the same breath ask why I have an issue with your posts. It's because of stuff like this. That's why!
Probably not cool to make private messages public Jason. Also, you removed my privileges from posting just because I disagreed with you. Then I got called all kinds of horrific names and I was unable to defend myself. Also not cool Jason. Nobody is perfect - ryan, Jason, jasto9, me included. YELLOWCARD are awesome tho
Not going to defend anyone's words here but gotta agree that the owner of a website publicly posting a "private" message from the website is not a good look for site privacy
Nah, you don't get to send me fucking whacked out shit. And you were banned from posting because of what you posted that multiple mods disagreed with. Always weird when people never mention the whole WHY they were banned part. You know for being a raging prick in the Accountability thread: Jul 23, 2025 Jul 23, 2025 And I wasn't even the one that did it either. It was multiple warnings from other mods.
You do not have any right to privacy when you send me (or anyone!) fucked up messages. Sending someone a message, an email, a text message, does not remove their (the person getting said message) right from sharing it. What are you talking about? This dude has been running around being an ass after he got called out in the DGD thread forever ago and I'm tired of posts like calling people "star fuckers" and messaging me weird ass shit.
Ok NOW I know why (because I was being a raging prick). I was never told back then. Could I please have my privileges back? I won't do that anymore.
WOW, dude. Just....wow. I had this typed up and ready to make this public but decided the RESPECTABLE and MATURE thing to do is make it private, but you sure fucked that pig, didn't you? You now decide who has the right of privacy? How very MAGA of you. Is your real last name Trump? How have I been "running around being an ass, exactly?" Since you're airing all this shit for the whole class to see, show the receipts. The god complex is very real with you.
