Excerpts: 
Look Who We Met: Yellowcard
As a follow up to New Found Glory, I had to meet Yellowcard's lead singer Ryan Key. Although this #TBT blew my mind, truth is — the band isn't what they used to be. This wasn't at all bad news, if anything it's exciting to hear the band go in a new direction with their latest album "Lift to Sail." Plus no matter how many replays "Ocean Avenue" gets, Key confirmed that they departed from that sound years sago. "I don't know why, but we did. To try to recreate it, would not be natural," he confessed. To take it a step further, even members of the band are no longer the same. Key himself joined 4 years in. Fun fact, they actually almost changed the band name when he became the lead singer. "Before me, the guys were a little more hardcore. I said we should probably call ourselves something else. Since we didn't, of course for like 3 years every hometown fan hated us," Key said. At the end of the day — no matter their sound or squad, there's no other punk rock band like Yellowcard. Seriously, when was the last time you moshed to a killer violin solo? -Isis Briones, Operations Assistant
