Shortly after releasing The Underdog EP , Yellowcard signed with Capitol Records . The group recorded their major-label debut Ocean Avenue in February–March 2003 and released on July 22, 2003. During the recording of the album, Mosely left Yellowcard, devoting his time to his first band, Inspection 12, and finishing the band’s album, Get Rad . The members of Yellowcard began the search for a new bass player and chose Alex Lewis, whose sister, Alieke Wijnveldt, contributed vocals to the Ocean Avenue track “View from Heaven”. After Lewis joined, the band filmed an unreleased music video for the song “Powder”. The video was later put on the enhanced version of Ocean Avenue .
