“Despite the band hyping up this year being the 20th anniversary of_ Ocean Avenue_,
as well as this year being the return of their breakup, the concert did not feel
nostalgic. The band took the stage and shined. They played their new song, ‘Childhood
Eyes,’ too, which made us all feel that they are gearing up for a massive new era
and not just reliving their youth. You can just tell that there are so many things
yet to come from these alternative rock legends.” – _**The Aquarian**_

“As things wind to a close on this brief five track EP, it already feels like _Childhood
Eyes_ has far exceeded expectations… When you have this much to give, this much 
fire inside, it seems a sin to snuff it out prematurely. With _Childhood Eyes_, 
Yellowcard’s flame is burning as brightly as ever. Long may it last. (4 out of 5)”–_**
Sputnik Music**_

“Though the EP clocks in at just under 22 minutes, it’s enough to realize that this
is a completely different band than the one that called it quits in 2016. It’s an
EP that feels inspired, and leaves you with that same feeling Ocean Avenue did back
in 2003: like this is just the beginning.” – **_Substream Music Magazine_**

 “Get ready to hit the pit to the sweet tones of some electric violin” – _**Rolling
Stone**_

### **THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF YELLOWCARD**

#### **Widely-Acclaimed New EP Coupled With At-Capacity Tour Heralds Their Fans’ Wide Open Arms**

**JULY 21, 2023 (New York, NY) – **When platinum-selling alt-rock band **YELLOWCARD**
announced a reunion show in 2022 for _Riot Fest_ in Chicago, IL, no one predicted(
not even the band) that they would do anything more than just that one show. But
as anticipation and excitement built on both sides of the Atlantic with follow-up
bookings at London’s _Underworld_ (May 26, 2022) and _Slam Dunk Festival_ (May 27-
28, 2022) with record audiences, it became clear to the band that their internal
chemistry was back in creative balance and their fans wanted more.

With the release of their new EP _**[Childhood Eyes](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2023/06/yellowcard-announces-new-single-and-ep-childhood-eyes-out-july-7th/)**_****(
release date: **July 21, 2023** _via_ **Equal Vision**), they gave not only their
fans something to look forward to but also themselves the confidence that this is
exactly what was needed for them as a band.

The five songs that make up _Childhood Eyes_ capture the spirit and essence of _Paper
Walls_ —its powerful yet tender anthems, its open-hearted emotional vulnerability,
its sense of wide-eyed wonder against the odds—but they’re also riddled with the
band’s experiences of the decade and a half since it came out.

From the breakneck speed of “**Three Minutes More**” which features **Pierce the
Veil**’s** Vic Fuentes** to the gorgeously plaintive final track “**The Places We’ll
Go**” which features **Dashboard Confessional**’s **Chris Carrabba** (“When he comes
in on that last chorus and you can really hear that Dashboard ripping grit in his
voice, it’s just awesome,” says Key), the EP is a testament of a band re-finding
its footing after a number of years apart.

**Distorted Sounds** says of the EP, “_Childhood Eyes_ is dripping with pop-punk
nostalgia, catchy rhythms, and a sound like they’d never even been on hiatus… _Childhood
Eyes_ just proves that these guys have stood the test of time as the tracks don’t
feel out of time or place.”

**Sputnik Music** gives the EP 4 out o f 5 stars, saying “_Childhood Eyes_ has far
exceeded expectations… Long may it last!”

**The Aquarian** proclaims, “Yellowcard has finally returned and, man, is their 
comeback a massive one.”

**Substream **sums it up nicely: “From the first playthrough of the band’s Equal
Vision Records debut it becomes clear that this isn’t just a reunion; the five song
EP is a succinct statement that Yellowcard is back.”

As a companion to the release of their EP, they announced a full-scale North American
tour (their first since 2017) which finds them in front of their largest crowds 
ever as a headliner. At their sold-out NYC show at _The Rooftop at Pier 17 _earlier
this month, **Digital Journal **reported on the audience’s reaction and said, “their
presence was met with a raucous response from the Big Apple crowd.”

**V13** lauded their performance at their packed-to-the-gills Philadelphia show 
saying, “You could feel the energy amp up as people yelled with excitement as each
band member took their place. It was as if Yellowcard never missed a beat.” Yellowcard
still has 20 shows remaining in their landmark routing, finding them in Jacksonville,
FL this evening for their first or two shows at _Daily’s Place Amphitheater._ Dates
in Texas, California, Seattle, Denver, and back to the East Coast are upcoming (
_tour dates below_).
