The song premiered on MTV's TRL program, and quickly shot up the charts to No. In late 2003, the band finally broke through with a hit single, "Ocean Avenue". Because Mosely had been an integral part of the writing for Ocean Avenue and had also been friends with most of the band's members since high school, Lewis was asked to leave, and Mosely was reinstated as the bass player. In the middle of the band's first headlining tour, Peter Mosely decided to leave Inspection 12 and asked if he could rejoin Yellowcard. The song created enough buzz to cause the band's mainstream explosion. The song did well on MTV2 and rock radio, peaking at No. The band released their first single from the album, "Way Away". The band again began the search for a new bass player and found Alex Lewis, whose sister, Alieke Wijnveldt, contributed vocals to the Ocean Avenue track, "View From Heaven". During the recording of Ocean Avenue, Mosely left Yellowcard, devoting his time to his first band, Inspection 12, and putting the finishing touches to their upcoming album, Get Rad. Yellowcard began recording their major-label debut in late 2002, and the production of the record was finished in the spring of 2003. Shortly after releasing The Underdog EP, Yellowcard signed with Capitol Records, which was looking to sign pop punk groups at the time. The video was later put on the enhanced version of the band's next album, Ocean Avenue. Before Warren Cooke left, the band filmed an unreleased music video for the song "Powder". The band then asked an old friend, Peter Mosely from Inspection 12, to play bass for them. However, soon after The Underdog EP was released, Warren Cooke left the band due to personal reasons. Both of these were well received by fans. The group released their third album, One for the Kids (Lobster Records), in 2001 and followed up with The Underdog EP (Fueled by Ramen Records) in 2002. After sending the new EP to friend Steve Lubarsky at Lobster Records, the band signed their first recording contract in June 2000 and by November had headed west to Camarillo, CA to begin working on another full length album. Key then filled both Clary's and Dobson's duties, guitar and vocals respectively. Soon after Still Standing EP was released, Todd Clary left the band. In early 2000, the band recorded the Still Standing EP. It also changed most of their fan base, leaving them with a new beginning and a fresh start as a band. This changed the band's music style drastically, from hardcore punk to pop punk. Ryan Key was formerly in the Californian Tooth & Nail Records band Craig's Brother. Soon Ben Dobson was replaced by Ryan Key (vocals and rhythm guitar). Where We Stand, their second album, featured the same lineup as Midget Tossing, and Mackin was featured on more songs. The original members were vocalist Ben Dobson, guitarist/vocalist Todd Clary, guitarist Ben Harper, Violinist Sean Mackin and drummer Longineu W. The band released its first album, Midget Tossing, in 1997. Whenever somebody did something stupid at a party, such as spill a beer on the carpet, they enforced soccer rules and gave them a yellow card for committing a party foul. Yellowcard got their name from a phrase they used in high school. Yellowcard was formed in 1997 in Jacksonville, Florida after meeting at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. Their latest album, Southern Air, was released on August 14, 2012. They are best known for Hot 100 singles like "Ocean Avenue" (which peaked at #37) and "Lights and Sounds." The band went on a two-year hiatus then announced their return in August 2010 and released their seventh studio album, When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes, in March 2011. Their music features the use of a violin, which is unusual for the genre. Yellowcard is an American pop punk/alternative rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1997, and based in Los Angeles since 2000.
