After their closing sets on the Kerrang! Stage at Slam Dunk over
the weekend, Yellowcard have announced a brand-new EP.
The returning pop-punks will be releasing the Neal
Avron-produced Childhood Eyes in full on July 7 via Equal Vision, with the
title-track available to stream below.
Says frontman William Ryan Key of the song: “I woke up in the
middle of the night with the chorus ringing in my head. I grabbed my phone off
of the night stand and started typing away, squinting in the dark.
“This was months before we even started demoing the EP. When we
started writing I threw the idea in the hat at the last minute, picked up a
guitar to try and put music to the melody in my head for the first time, and
Childhood Eyes was born. This is a song about being defeating, let down, and
deceived time and again, but still managing to find your creative soul and
carry on.
“I think it captures the spirit of Yellowcard, both old and new.”
