They are best known for their songs "Ocean Avenue," "Way Away," "Only One," "Lights and Sounds," "Light Up the Sky," and "For You, and Your Denial."

History
[edit]Early years (1997–2002)
[edit]Yellowcard was formed in 1997 in Jacksonville, Florida after meeting at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. The band released its first album, Midget Tossing, in 1997. The original members were vocalist Ben Dobson, guitarist/vocalist Todd Clary, violinist Daniel Soans, guitarist Ben Harper, and drummer Longineu W. Parsons III ("LP"). While vocalist/violinist Sean Mackin was featured on some of the songs, he was not a member yet, as he still objected to many of the band's messages.
