Put
aside the usual pigeonholes, things like style and genre
classifications - it takes much more for a band to really make a
personal connection with people. Yellowcard understand
this. The Ventura-based punk quintet (by way of Jacksonville,
Florida), have made that direct musical connection in each of
the hundreds of shows they've played at all-ages punk nights,
rock dives, school events, suburban VFW halls, living rooms,
back yards and any of the other places they play over 200 nights
a year. It's a mature insight for five young guys who don't take
themselves too seriously, but then Yellowcard - Ryan Key,
23 (vocals, guitars); Sean Mackin, 24 (violin, vocals); Ben
Harper, 22 (guitar); Longineu Parsons, 23 (drums); and Alex
Lewis, 25 - aren't your typical young punk band -- starting with
the classically-trained violinist in their ranks. And they've
now created a powderkeg of affecting, personal and explosive
rock on their new album, Ocean Avenue.
