Yellowcard Reunites, Taps Travis Barker and Avril Lavigne for New Album "Better Days"

In October 2025, the Florida-based band Yellowcard is set to release their 11th studio album, "Better Days", marking a significant comeback for the group. The band, comprising Sean Mackin, William Ryan Key, Josh Portman, and Ryan Mendez, had previously released what was supposed to be their final album in 2016 before surprising fans with a reunion in 2022 ahead of the 20th anniversary of their hit album "Ocean Avenue".

The journey to "Better Days" has been a special one for Yellowcard. The band members reveal that they were fortunate to find renowned drummer Travis Barker, who helped create a relaxed and creative environment during the recording process. Barker also facilitated collaborations with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio and Avril Lavigne, both of which the band members are thrilled about.

Yellowcard's return to the music scene has been a long time coming, and the band members are excited to share this new chapter with their fans. The album is described as capturing the core essence of Yellowcard's sound, with a fresh and energetic approach that has been missing for some time. As the band prepares to release "Better Days", their fans eagerly await the opportunity to experience this highly anticipated comeback.
