Yellowcard continue tour without bassist
Yellowcard
Tues. November 13, 2007
Juanitas
Little Rock, AR
Despite recent news that bassist Peter Moseley is leaving the band to pursue other endeavours, Yellowcard are still sticking it out on the road in support of "Paper Walls." This is actually the second time Yellowcard has said "goodbye" to Moseley. Back in 2003 Moseley left citing "personal differences" only to be reinstated a few months later. With over 3 million albums sold, it's not surprising that a little line up change here and there can't hold the band back. Anyway, who knows, if history is any indication then it might just be a matter of time until the lineup comes back together again.
If you get your punk pop bands confused, Yellowcard is usually easy to distinguish from others in the genre thanks to their unique use of the violin. Lyrically, they have always been forthright and personal. Singer Ryan Key had this to say about Yellowcard's most recent release:
“If Ocean Avenue was about finding your place in the world and Lights and Sounds is about realizing that you’ve gotten lost, Paper Walls is about what happens when you find yourself again. Before we started this record, everything in our lives was changing. But after a bit of struggling, I finally found a place where I’m comfortable in my own skin. We know who we are and who we want to be.”
