 Yellowcard was formed in 1997 in Jacksonville, Florida after meeting at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts.
The band released their first album, Yellowcard - Midget Tossing, in 1997 but with not much success.
Around that time their lead singer was replaced by Ryan Key who convinced the band that they couldn't be successful in Florida, so they decided to move to Southern California.
The new group released their debut album, Yellowcard - One for the Kids (Lobster Records), in 2001, and followed up with Yellowcard - The Underdog EP (Fueled by Ramen Records) in 2002.
Yellowcard signed with Capitol Records in 2003 and released Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue, which is their most successful album to date.
Soon after, bassist Alex Lewis was let go by the band. Pete Moss who had produced and played bass on most of the songs on Ocean Avenue took over on bass.
They released their latest album Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds in January 2006. The title track, Yellowcard – Lights and Sounds, was the first single released off the album. It is also featured on the game Burnout Revenge. The whole album is based on a concept theme with many songs expressing their dislike for Los Angeles.
Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds also features a special guest appearance of Dixie Chick Natalie Maines on Yellowcard – How I Go.
In 2005 the guitarist Ben Harper left the band due to disputes.He chose to work with his record label TAKEOVER RECORDS and has signed bands since his departure. He did do some guitar work for Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds which is still in the songs on the album. He was replaced by Ryan Mendez (formerly of Staring Back) shortly before the Lights & Sounds tour began.Links Yellowcard, muslib.ru (рус.)Version Mon, 26 Feb 2007 13:28:31 +0300
