Alt-Rock band Yellowcard has released a new single, “Bedroom Posters” from their album Better DaysBetter Days is the band’s first full feature length album in almost a decade and will be available on October 10th, 2025. The new album was Produced as well as Executive Produced by Travis Barker with Barker playing drums on every song.

The single “Bedroom Posters” speaks from a place of holding memories of one’s hometown near and dear.

Lead vocalist Ryan Key says:

Have you ever come back to visit your hometown and felt crushed by all the memories that led up to the day you left? Have you ever felt like settling down somewhere meant giving up your dream? If so Bedroom Posters is for you.

The band took their time on this album, and Ryan Mendez invited his long time friend Nick Long into the writing sessions and it was through Long that Travis Barker became part of the project, coming on board to play drums and produce the whole album.

Ryan Key feels Barker had an impact on his creative breakthrough for the album:

I started the record as one version of myself and came out the other side changed. I went in knowing I needed help. I came out of it writing songs like I was 19 again.

The band are about to start on a co-headlining tour, The Maxium Fun Tour with A Day to Remember which begins September 5th through November 22nd with stops on both the Warped Tour and When We Were Young Festival.
