Yellowcard returns with Better Days, their first full-length album since reuniting, produced and fully drummed by Travis Barker. Known for their distinctive mix of punchy pop-punk and melodic violin, the band rose to prominence with the multi-platinum Ocean Avenue and continued to evolve with acclaimed releases like Lights and Sounds and Paper Walls. Better Days stands out as some of their most compelling work—tight, energetic, and emotionally resonant. With standout features from Avril Lavigne and Alkaline Trio, the album feels both grounded in Yellowcard’s legacy and refreshed by new voices. It’s a sharp, fully realized record that shows the band not just returning, but delivering at their highest level.
