Yellowcard
Created | Updated Jun 27, 2004
Yellowcard is a 5 piece rock and roll band from Jacksonville, Florida. The band came together in high school a few years ago and has recently signed their first record contract with Lobster Records. You can get more info at Lobster Records. Yellowcard's latest album, "One For The Kid's", was released in April 2001 on Lobster Records. Here is a run down on the members of YC:
Ryan Key The lead vocalist and he helps out in the guitar department. Often referred to by friends and bandmates as, "Emo", Ryan wears geeky glasses and dresses funny. He is influenced by the likes of Green Day, Weezer, and Ben Folds Five. Ryan plays Gibson guitars and Marshall amplifiers.
Ben Harper It's hard to find a day where Ben doesn't have a smile on his face, Harper is sort of the morale captain of Yellowcard. He is quite possibly the happiest most mellow guy you will ever meet, and he rips at guitar. Who could ask for anything more!?!? Ben's axe of choice is a Gibson Les Paul and he uses Mesa Engineering amplifiers. Ben likes Lagwagon, Ben Folds, Saves the Day, Incubus and many more.
Sean Mackin The violin player. Yes, violin. Yellowcard has always caught people's ears with their addition of a violin to the group. In a review of the latest full length, "Where We Stand" the violin was praised as "working more often than one would think." Sean digs all kinds of music including Strung Out, Millencolin, Craig's Brother, and The Get Up Kids. Sean plays a Fender electric violin through a Fender Pro Sonic amplifier.
Warren Cooke He is often looked up to as father by the boys in YC. He keeps their asses in line and they love him for it. He plays the bass in the band and is currently the only member who can get a girl to like him for more than a week. He's got rad tats, that must be how he does it. Warren enjoys the sounds of Lagwagon, Good Riddance, the Ataris, and The Police to name a few. He uses Ibanez basses through SWR amplifiers.
Longineu Parsons This young man was playing the drums before he was potty trained. Much of the muscle in Yellowcard's sound comes out of this guys creativity. He is into everything from Beer Bong to Slipknot, Pantera type stuff. Two band members already have hearing aids because L.P. has trouble striking his drum heads lightly. He pounds on Pearl drums and Sabian cymbals.
Yellowcard is a great band to listen to! Pick up Ocean Avenue it is their best album to date! It is a hit!
