Yellowcard is set to release their new album, When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes, on March 22. The bands first single “For You, And Your Denial” is available now on [itunes link=”http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/for-you-and-your-denial/id412806419?uo=4″ title=”For You and Your Denial” text=”iTunes”].
Yellowcard’s Ocean Avenue was a turning point for the band and by far a fan favorite. A mixture of long touring and a change in direction led to a few lack luster follow ups and eventually a hiatus in 2008.
With the bands return, they are also making sure to keep the energy high on their new album and “For You, And Your Denial” showcases this energy like its still 2003 and Ocean Avenue is playing on everyones retro iPod or even better, an actual CD. “For You, And Your Denial” features the classic violin we have come to know from Yellowcard while still brining the energetic guitars and what even feels like a bit of darkness to it.
Can we expect a great album from Yellowcard? Will it be like they never left? Will the fans still line up to hear their new songs or will they just be hoping to hear the classics? Let us know your thoughts on the song and the upcoming album.

Hey Monday will release a newly recorded version of their fan-favorite song “Candles” on February 8th on iTunes. Along with “Candles” a previously unreleased acoustic demo of the track and a brand new song will also be available. The original version of “Candles” appeared on the band’s debut, [itunes link=”http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/how-you-love-me-now/id292026232?uo=4″ title=”Hold On Tight” text=”Hold On Tight”]. The aforementioned previously unreleased song, “The One That Got Away,” was recorded during the ‘Beneath It All’ sessions and co-written by frontwoman Cassadee Pope with Sam & Sluggo and The Hooters.
Says Cassadee, “‘Candles’ has always been a precious song to all of us. It was our first ballad, and even more importantly, a very honest song lyrically. I went through a difficult break-up when I was 17 and this song was like my therapy session. Since we started playing it live 3 years ago, we’ve had different ideas to change it up and make it evolve. That’s why I’m very excited about this new version. It’s more organic sounding now. I was able to re-record the vocals and pretty much sing the song exactly like I do live.”
The band’s latest, [itunes link=”http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/wondergirl/id383891138?uo=4″ title=”Beneath It All” text=”Beneath It All”], debuted in the Billboard Top 25 when it was released last summer and their tour with All Time Low and Yellowcard begins in early March.
