Recording finished for new album

Since the reformation announcement, the Yellowcard YouTube account was reopened and featured weekly sessions about the recording of the new album. It was also in these sessions that a handful of names and snippets of songs were released. Big If songs “Empty Street”, “Hide”, and “Hang You Up” were rumored to be reworked and featured on the new record (“Empty Street” ultimately did not make the cut). One of the first confirmed tracks on the new record, “See Me Smiling”, was originally an instrumental demo Ryan Mendez wrote and recorded at his home studio, which he sent to the other band members. They decided to record it for the new record. The bridge is one of Key’s favorite vocal parts in all of Yellowcard’s library. “Sing For Me” was confirmed in the November issue of Alternative Press , issue 269. The song is written from the perspective of Key’s terminally ill aunt, Aunt Stephanie, who was mentioned in “Rock Star Land”. The recording process finished on November 8, 2010. The band later announced the name and release date of the first single, ” For You, and Your Denial “. It was made available for purchase on iTunes and streaming at www.absolutepunk.net starting January 18, 2011. Also, the music video for this song was released. The second single, ” Hang You Up “, was released February 22. The new album released on March 22, 2011, on iTunes and CD.
