In April of 2010, the 5 of us met up in Los Angeles to play some music, hang out, and talk about the future of the band. I felt privileged to be invited to get to do so, and it was an amazing couple of days. Fast forward a year and a half and we’ve put out two full lengths, shot 6 music videos, and traveled to almost 30 countries. It’s been an exhilarating time for all of us in the band and some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my music career. Which is why I’m sad today to let you all know that I am leaving Yellowcard. 

This is not one of those ugly messy band member departures that seem to plague rock music. This is a personal decision, and it’s mine. Simple as I can put it, playing in a band that is on a full time touring schedule demands a balancing act of work and family that I can no longer pull off and still remain happy. As you can imagine, this was not an easy decision to make, but usually the really important ones never are. 

While I feel confident in my decision, I know I’m walking away from a lot. I feel truly blessed to have been invited to such a close knit family, one that I was welcomed into completely. I’ll miss the guys, I’ll miss the shows, I’ll miss making all those ridiculous YC sessions videos. I’ll miss all of the love I got from the thousands of fans all over the world. When my former band Reeve Oliver was on tour with Yellowcard in 2005, I said onstage that all I could ever hope for was for us to attract fans who were as supportive as Yellowcard fans. I meant it then, but now I realize the full impact of the love and support you guys give. It’s immense, it’s real, and it’s completely necessary for this band to survive and to thrive.

Yellowcard has made great rock records before me, and will no doubt continue to do so without me. I will now continue on in the role that I have held for the last 13 years, that of a devoted fan. 

Thanks for your time, and thanks for reading this,

Sean O’Donnell

I’m a sucker for this type of band. It’s the guilty pleasure I don’t really feel guilty about sharing. If you want something that’s a mix of The Starting Line, Yellowcard, and old All Time Low, then look no further, because Mercer Avenue is right up your alley.

Fast paced drums, anthem like vocals about being young, and familiar guitar riffs litter More Than a Statement. What really stood out to me was that, in songs like “Still Breathing”, they implement what sounds like three different vocalists. What could potentially be a sloppy mess of unintelligible words turns out nicely, as they mesh it all together quite well. “Through The Looking Glass” and “Smoke and Mirrors” are the perfect tracks to blast through your open car windows, embodying a sort of youthful summer sound.

The seven minute closer, “Honest Enough”, shows off some of the bands better instrumentation and lyricism. It was the right way to end a solid EP, and while I’m all about the soft acoustic closing track, the fade out chant was a good move on their part. More Than a Statement is an EP for those of us who sometimes enjoy the catchier side of this pop-rock revolution that’s going on in 2011.

Listen to their music here.
