Yellowcard's Ryan Mendez has informed the community on their website [2] that their next album (the follow-up to Lights and Sounds) should be completed in mid-February for an April release "so they can begin touring". [3] In an earlier interview, when asked about album details, frontman Ryan Key claimed that sound of the album is, for now, unknown, but they always want to "go in a new direction" [4].
On January 8, 2007, a 30 second demo was posted on their Myspace, featuring a violin line. It is possible that it will be included in a future song of Yellowcard. Blogs are being posted many days a week on their Myspace perhaps to reaffirm that they are still on track for a Spring 2007 release.
As of January 12, 2007, according to their Myspace blogs, the drum tracks and guitar tracks have been layed down. They are currently working on bass tracks in the studio, with the violin coming in at an unnamed time.
As of March 16th, the band has nearly completed and titled the album. [5]
As of March 22nd, the band has finished recording the new album. [6]
On March 29th, the band announced that the new album is titled "Paper Walls" at a concert at the Troubador in West Hollywood, CA.
[edit] Music Style
They continue to stand firm in getting away from the "pop punk" label in making this new album, which is believed to be on track so soon because of the promotional difficulties and lackluster sales of Lights and Sounds.
Yellowcard are currently engaging in feedback response with their fans to somewhat suggest or influence the outcome of the upcoming album. When asked about the direction of the album, Ryan Mendez responded that this follow-up to Lights and Sounds "has the energy and intensity that Ocean Avenue had and some similarities, but not necessarily exactly the same".[7]
Yellowcard now has a YouTube Profile with which they have been posting recording sessions on.
The band's album is currently being mixed and a preview of the first completed song is available on YouTube[8]
