Yellowcard Show Fan Love With Video And Acoustic “Empty Apartment”

Yellowcard is a band that has been touring for over a decade and creating music for even longer, making them deeply attuned to their fan base and particularly grateful for it.

From the message boards of yesteryear and today’s social media universe to offline at meet and greets and shows, they’ve become friends, citing even a first-name basis, with so many of the fans they see four or five times a year. After sharing an appreciative video of their gratitude (which you can watch below), they’re offering their fans something better: new music.

Ocean Avenue Acoustic — a new, acoustic version of their platinum-selling 2003 watershed album Ocean Avenue — is due 8/13 on Hopeless Records. As a preview, here’s a stripped down version of  “Empty Apartment.”
