Ryan Key of Yellowcard talked with Wall of Sound about the band’s upcoming plans. Quite a few “eyes emoji” bits in this one:
This is a real turning point though, once we wrap up in Australia, that’s the end of riding the nostalgia wave. After that we have to stand on our own two feet making new music and doing tours that don’t lean on people wanting to celebrate this time capsule moment from 20 years ago. There’s so much at stake after this! We’re in a very secretive stage of making new music right now but what I can tell you is we’re very close [to] something happening, and there will be stuff when we get to Australia. But when the news does come out, it is so much more than just an album.
When I say more than an album, I just mean that the news around it; how it was made, who we made it with, it’s surreal. I’m pinching myself every day, since April of last year when we started working on it. We’ve really poured ourselves into this thing.
