Yellowcard have shared a new track called ‘Calvary Drive’, which is set to appear on the deluxe edition of their latest album ‘Better Days’.

The song itself feels quintessential Yellowcard in sound and substance. A buoyant piece of timeless pop-punk brimming with nostalgia, longing and endless Summer brightness. Fitting in perfectly with the reflective nature that defined the making of ‘Better Days’, it slots into the tracklisting perfectly.

Though the truth is, it is actually the first song the band put together for the record alongside Travis Barker.

Ryan Key had this to say when explaining the origins of the song:

“‘Calvary Drive’ was the very first demo we worked on with Travis Barker and our friend Nick Long. We were just getting a feel for working together over a weekend and had no idea that this idea would be the spark for what became Better Days. It’s fun to listen back now and hear where we started, and how much the sound evolved from there.”

The deluxe edition of ‘Better Days’ will be released on September 18 via Better Noise. It will include four new songs, including ‘Calvary Drive’.
