Artist Biography
Yellowcard was formed in 1997 in Jacksonville, Florida after meeting at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. The band was made up of six members back then: Ben Dobson (vocals)Todd Clary (vocals, guitar)Ben Harper (guitar)Sean Mackin (violin)Warren Cooke (bass guitar)Longineu W. Parsons III (drums)
The band released their first album, Midget Tossing, in 1997 but with not much success.
Around that time their lead singer was replaced by Ryan Key who convinced the band that they couldn't be successful in Florida, so they decided to move to Southern California.
The new group released their debut album, One for the Kids (Lobster Records), in 2001, and followed up with The Underdog EP (Fueled by Ramen Records) in 2002.
Yellowcard signed with Capitol Records in 2003 and released Ocean Avenue, which is their most successful album to date.
Soon after, bassist Alex Lewis was let go by the band. Pete Moss who had produced and played bass on most of the songs on Ocean Avenue took over on bass.
