10 Best Pop Punk Albums Of 2016
4. Yellowcard - Yellowcard
Hard to believe that after twenty years, Floridian rock band Yellowcard are set to break up in 2017 following the end of their final tour. Fans were concerned enough when the group went on indefinite hiatus in 2008, but relieved that it only lasted a couple years, so it sucks the band is coming to an end.
Their 2016 self-titled album, at least, is a fitting final release, and is arguably the band's best record since the iconic Ocean Avenue dropped way back in 2004. The tracks on Yellowcard are a mature progression for the band without compromising on their proud emotion.
As ever, the lyrics are incredibly compelling, able to articulate confusion, anger and sadness in a way that few other rock bands manage. As a whole, Yellowcard feels like a direct statement to the band's fans, thanking them for all their support over the years.
