Alt rock favorites Yellowcard have officially released their highly anticipated album, ‘Better Days’, which is out now. The record is their first full feature length album in almost a decade and is produced as well as executive produced entirely by Travis Barker, who also plays drums on every single track. The album was preceded by the release of the single “Bedroom Posters,” a strikingly personal track that frontman Ryan Key describes as being for anyone who has ever felt “crushed by all the memories” after leaving their hometown in pursuit of a dream. The album’s lead single and title track, “Better Days,” has already accumulated massive chart success, continuing to top the charts and recently reaching No. 4 this week.
This triumphant new era for the band follows their 2022 reunion after disbanding in 2017. The Jacksonville, FL natives, who were once ubiquitous on MTV and the Billboard Hot 100, sound completely recharged and revitalized in 2025. With a signature blend of high energy pop punk and their distinctive violin twist, Yellowcard continues to deliver compelling work, and their new singles have already accumulated over 6.4 million global streams. The band also concluded their co headlining The Maxium Fun Tour with A Day to Remember on the very day this is written, November 22nd, having successfully run from September 5th and included major stops like the Warped Tour and When We Were Young Festival. After over four million albums sold worldwide and over one billion streams in their career, Yellowcard is fully poised for continued success on this new endeavor.
