Yellowcard is set for a summer release of their new record Paper Walls . The disc hits stores July 17th and is the third in a trilogy of albums that includes 2006's Lights and Sounds and Ocean Avenue from 2003. In addition to putting out the new record, the band will play the 2007 Vans Warped Tour from June 29 – July 19. They also plan to announce additional live dates shortly.

The Jacksonville, Florida based rockers went out west to make the new record. Paper Walls was produced by Neal Avron who did their first two records. While that familiarity made things a bit easier in the studio, this was the first time the band had been in the studio since guitarist Ryan Mendez joined the group during the Lights and Sounds tour. Frontman Ryan Key, who had to undergo some vocal surgery had this to say about the recording: "This album is the sound of five musicians in a room having a great time and writing the music that we love. We feel like the luckiest guys in the world to be able to do this."

Of course, being on a major label will allow their fans to buy the new record twice. A deluxe CD/DVD version of Paper Walls will also be sold that is said to feature "exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the band, extensive photo gallery and two additional live bonus tracks."
