The Jacksonville quintet brought to the stage the power melodies that have made the band a favorite amongst those surfing between Top 40 pop and hidden punk as singer Ryan Key is able to walk the tightrope of music genres and help to use his punk energy to infuse the pop riffs.

Aside from Keys magnetic performance, Yellowcard also has quality musicianship to back up those wails and the band is able to mix a fair quality rendition of the CD while still helping to put on a stage show that keeps the crowd focused on all aspects of the performance.

Touring to support Paper Walls, Yellowcard played several tracks from the newest release, but also dove into the back catalogue to keep the die-hards happy while still appealing to those there to see Blue October. Using those fans as one would drink a Red Bull, Key and company used the response of the audience to gain momentum and energy and fed off the crowd as if the cheers were caffeine and the sing-back was the band's Starbucks' triple espresso.

With a style of music that almost forces one to move a body part or want to sing along, Yellowcard's infectious groove was a well-needed departure from much of the depressing music that was played by Blue October. Key proved again to Columbus that he is a frontman that commands a presence and the band continues to improve on its songwriting ability as shown throughout Paper Walls. For fans of the band, it was also a welcome change to see the band play a full set in a proper venue versus seeing a shortened set in broad daylight with other bands playing just yards away concurrently.

Yellowcard continues its tour with Blue October throughout October and although this was a billing that confused some, the two bands are using each one's diversity to make those who didn't make it to the show green with envy for those that snagged a ticket to the sold-out event.
