Yellowcard Talk New Era and Travis Barker Collab

Yellowcard

Yellowcard talked with Wall of Sound about their new album and how the collaboration with Travis Barker came to be.

Before we went out, we had talked to Nick Long and asked if we could carve out a few days to work together. A month or so before we went, Nick calls Ryan Mendez and says he was talking to Travis Barker about us going out there and he said to bring us to the studio because he wanted to be in on those sessions.

So, we get to LA, check into our Airbnb on Wednesday, have a couple glasses of wine to settle our nerves, and the next morning we wake up and go to Travis’ studio. We did these two songs and we were really pumped on them. At the end of it, he was just sitting on the couch in the back of the control room and he just said ‘I wanna make a record with you guys’. Obviously, we left the studio freaking out.

Yellowcard Talk Upcoming Plans

Yellowcard

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.
