They’re called Fun., and indeed they are. I took notice, like a lot of people, when their latest and really popular hit came out, “We Are Young”.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Yellowcard, because the way they make music is totally unique. They combine great guitar and drum play, mixed with a violin, and on top of that there is the amazing voice of Ryan Key.

This particular thing made me curious how this new record would sound like. So, are they ready to gain the attention of the audience again? Continue reading →
