Yellowcard have unveiled a surprise this week for their dedicated fans, by releasing an acoustically reworked version of their latest album ‘When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes’. It is available to download digitally now and will be released physically on 31st October.
The band will be back touring the UK on a run of co-headline shows with Saves The Day in November and December.
As a perfect cap to round of the last twelve months, the acoustic version of ‘When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes’ is a testament to Yellowcard’s songwriting prowess. The unplugged record, with manages to retain the same soul and spirit as the original, takes the music to a whole new level for listeners to appreciate the band’s astonishing musical abilities. It retains the same soul and spirit as the original album and is fundamentally a thank you for the ‘amazing support’ fans have given them to help rebuild their career.
Yellowcard claim to have always taken pride and enjoyment in performing their songs in an acoustic setting, which is what pushed them to record a few B-sides acoustically. They soon picked up on the incredible response, particularly on the acoustic version of ‘Sing For Me’ was getting online.

Yellowcard claim to have always taken pride and enjoyment in performing their songs in an acoustic setting, which is what pushed them to record a few B-sides acoustically. They soon picked up on the incredible response, particularly on the acoustic version of ‘Sing For Me’ was getting online.
The band began to use every free day or night in early 2011 to complete the recording of all ten songs acoustically, ‘…one of the things we are most proud of is that we produced and mixed this entire record on your own…’. Along with producer Ryan Mendez’s sleepless nights behind the computer and the band’s hard work, they have created something they have wanted to do ‘for a very long time…’ and have been ‘looking forward…’ to surprising fans.
