Yellowcard Return With “Childhood Eyes” EP

When Yellowcard announced a reunion show in 2022 at Chicago’s Riot Fest, no one predicted (not even the band) that they would do anything more than just that one show. But as anticipation and excitement built on both sides of the Atlantic with follow-up bookings at London’s Underworld and Slam Dunk Festival, it became clear to the band that their internal chemistry was back in creative balance and their fans wanted more. With the release of their new EP, Childhood Eyes, via Equal Vision Records, they have given their fans what they wanted.

The five songs that make up Childhood Eyes capture the spirit and essence of Paper Walls, its powerful yet tender anthems, its open-hearted emotional vulnerability, its sense of wide-eyed wonder against the odds, but they’re also riddled with the band’s experiences of the decade and a half since it came out. From the breakneck speed of Three Minutes More which features Vic Fuentes (Pierce The Veil) to the gorgeously plaintive final track The Places We’ll Go which features Dashboard Confessional‘s Chris Carrabba, the EP is a testament of a band re-finding its footing after a number of years apart.
