It's the end of the year and it's time to reflect back on all the beautiful pop-punk music we were given in 2025. In our first of several 2025 Recap episodes we're deep diving Yellowcard's first full length record since their reunion, Better Days. Huge singles, violins, some electronics, Travis Barker, Avril, Matt Skiba... we have a lot to discuss.
