Yesterday was the ten year anniversary of Yellowcard’s breakthrough album, Ocean Avenue. On August 13th, the band will be releasing a special acoustic album featuring all thirteen Ocean Avenue tracks. Today, we’re premiering the first video from Ocean Avenue Acoustic of the song that changed everything for the band – “Ocean Avenue.” I’ve been listening to the acoustic album for a little while now and each song is incredibly well-done, with this track being one of the standouts. You can also pre-order Ocean Avenue Acousticon iTunes for only $7.99 and it comes with an instant download of this song. If you’re a vinyl guy like me, you can also pick this up on wax here. The band is also heading out on tour in September, so check to see if it’s coming near you and purchase tickets here. So check out the video in the replies and let us know what you think about this new rendition.
