The punk-inspired quintet Yellowcard formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1997 but didn't solidy their lineup until a move to Southern California in early 2000. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Ryan Key, vocalist/violinist Sean Mackin, guitarist Ben Harper, drummer Longineu Parsons, and bassist Warren Cooke, the band officially debuted on wax in 2001. By 2003 Cooke had been replaced with Pete Mosley, and then Mosley had been replaced with Alex Lewis. After the band decided to go on indefinite hiatus in 2008 they signed with Hopeless records in 2011. In 2012 Yellowcard returned with their eighth studio album, Southern Air. Ahead of the tenth anniversary of Ocean Avenue, the band announced that an acoustic reinterpretation of the album would be issued in August 2013 and that a celebratory world tour would follow.
