Known for their heartfelt pop-punk anthems featuring the unexpected sound of an electric violin, Florida band Yellowcard formed in '97. Starting as a scrappy hardcore outfit, the group moved towards the more polished sound that later became their signature at the turn of the century. This change brought them major label success on '03's Ocean Avenue, an album which netted the band their first platinum single, and moved them into the mainstream. Now touring regularly, the band continues to write and record, bringing the energy fans love to locations all over the globe.
