Song of the Week, 4/11: Yellowcard- "Hang You Up"


What is it?: "Hang You Up" was the first single and music video from Yellowcard's first album back from their hiatus (which began in 2007), When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes. The song is a slower number, which features some of frontman Ryan Key's signature heartfelt vocals, and drummer LP still finds a way to prove himself as one of the most formidable drummers in modern rock, all in a matter of four minutes.

Why is it song of the week?: Well, for starters, Yellowcard is a great spring/summer band, and with Memorial Day (the official start of summer) a mere 40(ish) days away, the band somehow gets better the longer the sun is out. Plus, as if it couldn't getting any better listening to songs like "Ocean Avenue" or "Light Up the Sky," the band have now confirmed that they have finished work on a new album, which means you'll soon have more Yellowcard jams to blast through your car's speakers with the windows down on your way to the beach. So, really, "Hang You Up" is just a placeholder. Nevertheless, Yellowcard continues to churn out good news after coming back from their hiatus. And the video for this song is great.

Where can I find it?: Here.
